Day 54...catching up with the time change

Mar 14

I'm still playing catch up from the time change...and I'm on vacation dang it, I shouldn't have to play catch up!
Martyn is playing catch up too, or maybe he's just worn out from visiting...I hope that's it. He slept just fine last night, probably around 5 hours straight and needed a diaper change, and went right back to sleep and slept about 3 hours, maybe 4 and woke up to be nursed and changed again...Then was kind of awake and snugly with me. He did go back to sleep for an hour or so. Then we got up and had breakfast with mom and Jack, and went to visit another old friend.
That boy fell asleep in the car on the short trip there, and slept almost the entire time I was there, which was about 3 hours, and didn't wake up when I stopped at Target on the way home and shopped for some T-shirts, and still didn't wake up until we had been home a good half hour. Then he was up for maybe an hour with Mom and I, and I put him on his belly for some floor time, he fell asleep again and slept for 2 more hours.
At least I made it 3/4 of the way through dinner with out him waking up, and I got to take a little nap before that too. After he woke up at dinner time, I nursed him and had to really really wake him up...he was just so sleepy.
Finally he woke all the way up and has been up now for a couple hours, although he's really quiet in the other room with Grannie, so I'm wondering if he fell back asleep. He does seem to be enjoying this time, but I know he's worn out....I'm worn out!

I skyped Eli tonight for the first time since I've been here, and got Martyn up to the camera so Eli could see him. I don't think he could see the computer screen, let alone understand that was his daddy, but he seemed to recognize Eli's voice at least. That was kind of cool.
It sort of hit me like a ton of bricks after that, how much I miss my husband. I know he's missing both of us too, but for whatever reason, I didn't anticipate that I would be missing him so much, this quick into the visit. I still have a week left too. Oh well, that will make our reunion that much more sweet. Funny how that works huh?

While visiting with my friend today, it struck me once again how awesome it is to be a mama...and to see people that I grew up with, both relatives of mine and old friends, as parents too....and to think how much life has changed over the years, for the better and better and better.
It feels good.
