Tumultuous Night Sleep


I was a little tired last night so we decided to go to bed early and try to get a good nights sleep. What a surprise we were in for. Here's a little run down of the night:
9:00pm - We're in bed and I think I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
9:30pm - Phone rings. It was a pregnant friend updating me on her doctors appointment. We didn't answer it.
11:00pm - The carbon monoxide detector is going off because the battery is low. Justin gets up and takes the battery out, checks on Carter, then we're back to sleep.
3:00am - Carter's crying. I think he may be going through a little growth spurt, so I feed him then put him back to bed.
5:00am - Carter's crying again. I feed him again, then it's back to sleep.
6:00am - The alarm's going off. It's up and at 'em.

On a more positive note, we're having the house sprayed for bugs today. I'm so glad. We usually get it sprayed every 6 months but it's been more like 8 months since we had it done last and we've been seeing a lot of roaches. I absolutely detest roaches!!! I'm not really sure why I moved to Texas since I hate them so much. Thankfully I live with a fearless bug killer, Justin. We have a nice little arrangement; he takes care of all the bugs and I take care of all the poopy diapers. It works well for us.

On an even better note, I only have 8 more days of school until the summer break. I am so excited to be home with my little man everyday. We are going to visit my parents in New Mexico the day after I get out of school. My dad, brothers, and one of my sisters haven't seen Carter since he was 5 weeks old so I'm looking forward to them getting to play with him. He's at such a fun age. He loves to laugh, play, and practice sitting up. He really is such a good baby. We are so blessed.
