Day 174...mid week (hump day)

Jul 13

I really don't like the phrase "hump day". It's just off putting. But I get it. It's all down hill from here....as far as the week goes, right? I guess. Man I was dragging today. Still am. Just no energy at all. I had to go take a half hour nap in the car, during my lunch hour. I do that sometimes, but have to keep the radio on, and turned up kind of loud so I don't go all the way to sleep, or wouldn't wake up in time to clock back in.

Except for being so much out of energy today, I like days like today. I didn't have a huge amount of work to do, but it was steady. I had to work several deals through out the day, for getting parts, and I like it when I have days where I have to figure stuff out, but it's not stressful. Makes me feel like I'm actually accomplishing something at work.

This morning, I got up to put Martyn back in the crib at 430....the clock goes off at 5. So I climbed back into bed for a half hour, and when the clock went off I indulged in a snooze, because Eli didn't turn the clock off like he normally does (since it's on his side of the bed.) I got up before it went off the second time though, and turned it off and let Eli stay sleeping since Martyn was asleep. I figured he would sleep until 7 or so, but he woke up about 20 min before I needed to leave. Eli got him up, and changed him and dressed him. I was glad to see them both before I left, and nurse Martyn. I was totally going to just let them both sleep.

Since I got all distracted with my fellows this morning, I took off and totally forgot to bring the breast pump with me. I realized that, when I got to work and called Eli right away. I said he needed to bring it to me, with in the next couple hours because I was going to be totally full (like engorged) if I didn't get to pump in that time frame. He grumbled a bit, but totally complied....he's such a wonderful husband! Martyn was asleep when they stopped by, so I only got to see my honey for a minute.

When I got home tonight, I had my sun glasses on when I walked in the house. Eli was holding Martyn, and I said hi to both of them, and then took my sunglasses off. Martyn had had a bit of a concerned look on his face, but when I too off my sunglasses, he instantly recognized me and gave me that great big "hey you're my mama!" smile. I love that! I took him and hugged him up, squeezed him tight. He hugged me back, it was awesome. I love that he does that now.

I had talked to my brother very briefly on fb chat at work today, and we said we would skype when I got home if he was still up....it's 11.5 hours ahead, where he is. It was good to talk to him. He finally got to see Martyn on Skype too, which was really cool. I'm so looking forward to the day when they get to meet face to face.

Martyn is finally figuring out that it's fun to play in the johnny jump up. I put him in there and he just gets all excited. He jumps a little, but kicks his feet more than anything. Super cute. Oh, and he yells...because apparently that's what he does when he's excited. I got some new, bigger size diapers in the mail yesterday, and ran them through the laundry a few times, so they're ready for use now. Which is good, because the small diapers are just barely hanging on anymore. I'm hoping the bigger diapers will mean less diaper blasters blow outs, ha! We shall see.
