1. Lilly is in our bed.....yeah I am not proud of it but things are so much easier for now! After two nights of us trying to get her to cry it out and stay in her room, we gave in and put her in our bed. She cried it out the second night from 11:00PM to at least 2:00 in the morning and that is when I finally fell asleep but when I woke up at 4:00 she was still awake. She is in such a better mood with more sleep too. We will just fight that battle another day because I do want it to go back to just me and Joel in the bed eventually.
2. 4-6 hours of sleep is what we live off of....THANK GOD FOR A HELPFUL HUSBAND! Bless you women that do well with no sleep. I am such a grumpy non sleeper and Joel knows it. I try so hard to get up for every feeding but Joel so nicely volunteers to help with this task. Right now Levi is up every 3 hours/4 if we are lucky. That is him eating, diaper change and getting him laid back down. So we sleep in like 2 hours increments. Rough but this too shall pass. We are just ready for him to be up to 4 hours apart.
3. A mother of 2....WOW and bless you moms with 3 or 4 or 19! I had to take Lilly to the doctor a week or so ago for what ended up being a viral rash. Joel had to go on a work trip just Monday to Wednesday. and Just the laundry, bottles, prep for the next day, clean up, diaper changes.....It's not easy but I wouldn't have it ANY OTHER WAY! Lilly is just at such a fun age and I am trying to treasure every minute of my last days with a 'baby.' (Thought they are always my babies! :)
Levi: I know it may be TMI BUT....goodness I would put him up against any man with the smell of his gas! IT'S AWFUL! At least since we changed his formula, the gas is coming out and not staying IN his belly! He is a pretty good baby though. He LOVES to be cuddled but what baby doesn't!

Enjoying sleeping outside while camping :)Joel: YAY! The dirt is gone! Anyone that came to my house in the past month or so knows that right before Levi was born, Joel got a load of dirt delivered to start the landscaping out front. He got more than what he bargained for and we had a mound of dirt pretty much the size of the Tercel! Thanks for all that helped to take it away, move it, shovel it, whatever it took to get it moved!
Anyone that saw the pile of dirt realizes how great this is!Lilly: Definitely going through her terrible 2's which are also the sweet 2's!
New things she is saying (good and bad)
1. "Oh Gosh, It's Crazy
2. "Don't touch this!"
3. "Go away!"
4. "I want a snack."
5. (someone sneezes)--"Bless you!"
6. "Wake up Baby!"
7. "HEYYY, Baby Vinee!" (no idea why she calls him that!)
8. "I want HAPPY!" (She means she wants to hear the song Happy)
Here are two videos:
LESLEY: So it is back to the real life of most women in the fact that I have to actually care what I eat. I am SO ready to run again and have to start preparing for my goal of doing a half marathon in November. I FINALLY am wearing not maternity jeans today however I would rather still be in my maternity jeans! Back to the doctor May 9.
Back to the real world of working May 12th. I am leaving Levi in good hands with family, friends and Joel not to mention I have like 7/8 weeks off after that so I'll be okay to leave him. I saw a saying the other day that said teachers might get off in the summer and for breaks but they shove 12 months worth of work in 10 months! I totally agree! I am ready to end up the year with my sweet lil' kindergarteners. I really do have a great group this year so I do miss them and MY COWORKERS!!!! See you all soon!
Hope all is well in your world! Definitely praying for all the families struck by the recent storms and flooding!
