Walking Backwards

Wow, am I tired. I haven't been sleeping very well for the past few days. Every little thing seems to wake me up and I have also had nightmares. It hasn't been pleasant. Nico is also waking up a lot in the middle of the night, for what reason I don't know. We are both very cranky. I tried to lay down with him for his nap this afternoon, but wasn't able to go to sleep. Probably because I had just dosed myself with caffeine, thinking that he was going to skip his nap today (it was already 5:30 and he showed no indication of wanting to go to sleep). He slept until almost eight, so he isn't to keen on going to sleep now. I am hoping that I can calm him down with a bath. Good thing we don't have too much to do tomorrow.


Spring cleaning took a detour this week, because Joe surprised me by coming home in the middle of the week for his normal weekend. I am going to have to go into overdrive this weekend and the beginning of the week to catch up. Having Joe home did give me a chance to move Nicholas' furniture into his room, though. I'm so excited the baby finally has his own room. He even has a big boy bed to sleep in. I'll have to post pictures of it later. The room still looks really barren because there is nothing on the walls and all of his toys are still in his playroom. Our room also looks particularly empty now that it is missing the baby's dresser and changing table. Who knew our house was so big?
