Amber and I are working on a system through the night and for now, we are doing pretty well sleep wise. In all actuality, what keeps me awake is Amber struggling to get back to sleep after her turn feeding. Poor girl! I can fall asleep right away and (in the spirit of the forthcoming Christmas movie season) could sleep through a dump truck driving through a nitro-glycerin plant (name that one for a free foot massage from Amber). But we are managing. Thank goodness that Amber's parents swung through for a couple of days and helped Amber get some sleep and recover while I tended to my duties at work.
Needless to say, Roxy is loving being a big sister and does a wonderful job. She wants to hold Drake a bunch of times during the day and has learned to say "all done" when she is...all done holding Drake. Much better than shoving him off of her lap as she had been doing. Her newest accomplishments include her death-defying leaps off of the table, couch, bed, and any other apparatus high enough to gun her adrenaline and freak out her mother. She is also great at jibber-jabbering and is now putting together some sentences. It is fun to see her wake up just about every morning with some new tricks.
We just have the best support system here in Omaha. The Glasgow's are the best cousins, Uncles, Aunts, friends, anyone could ask for and they love Drake (Love the Drake!!!). We have been spending a lot of time there and the kiddos just love their cousins. Thank goodness for all of the love and support we get from Emily - she has just been the best. My parents have always been pretty awesome Grandparents. You can pretty much see my dad's smile from about 20 miles away and same with Grandma!
We are having a ton of fun and life is awfully great here in Omaha. This week will be my first business trip so we will see how life is back to the daily grind. Come and visit when you have the time!
