Sleep anyone?
Oy vey!
Alexander has his schedule that I had worked on so hard for the past two weeks all out of whack. When I say sleep, he says cry. When I say eat, he says cry. When I say change diaper, he says cry. Basically everything’s all messed up. So much so that I had to sleep downstairs with him last night so that Stu could get some sleep for his meeting today. He’s been working very hard (Stu, not Alexander) on a project and today he has a meeting with the people he’s done the project for. We hope there’s not lots to change/fix because Stu needs a weekend off, darn it, and he’s coming up to Harrisonburg this weekend come hell or high water! The mamma has spoken!
Anyway, this morning, Alexander ate at 4:00 for about 20 minutes, 7:00 for about 20 minutes, 9:00 for 40 minutes, 11:00 for 20 minutes, and then slept until 3:00! Now, I’ve just put him down and it’s 4:15. Who knows when he’ll wake up again and want to eat. I think I’ll wake him at 6:00 and feed him at 6:00, 9:00, and then have Stu feed at 11:00 to see if he’ll sleep for four hours during the night. It would be so nice. And it would really be nice if he wouldn’t make all these growling noises while he sleeps. That’s what keeps waking us up. Then again, he hasn’t pooped since Monday so the growling could be tummy problems. If he doesn’t poop by morning, I will be calling the doctor. Boy, the doctor is going to be so sick of me. Can doctors actually make you stop being their patient? If so, Alexander’s probably in the running!
Anyway, just a few photos from the day, and a photo of the hanging pot flowers I did in preparation for the Aussies arrival on WEDNESDAY! Stu’s so excited to see his parents, but I may have him beat on the excitement front, just because I’ll have people around the house who want to hold Alexander and do things so I can sleep 
Can’t wait to see you John and Gayle!
