Complainer

Can I just complain for a minute? If you don't want to hear me whining, I give you full permission to skip right over this and go read something more interesting. But I just have to complain somewhere because I'm sure Richard is tired of hearing it! Let me just say, I AM TIRED! When Kaylee was first born, I expected to be exhausted all the time and getting very little sleep. However I was pleasantly surprised because she was an ANGEL and seemed instinctively to know the difference between night and day. She even got up to the point where she was sleeping for 6 hours at a time and I was in heaven. Somewhere in the last week or so, I must have done something very wrong to mess that up because now she won't sleep hardly at all. Last night the most she slept in a row was 2 hours and sometimes I was even getting up every half hour to get her to fall back asleep. It gets to the point where I am so tired that either I'll give in and try to sleep with her on the couch or I send Richard to get her because I'm so tired and dizzy I think I might pass out. I pretty much haven't slept for a week now and it's definitely taking it's toll on both my body and mind. At first I blamed her sleeplessness on the fact that our apt is SO hot but the last couple days it's been a lot cooler so I can't figure out what the problem is. Something needs to happen very soon though because I'm pretty sure I can't function too much longer like this. Ok, I'm done complaining now so for you readers who actually read this, go find something happier to think about :)

Blessing Day

Last Sunday was Kaylee's blessing. We were slightly panicking about how everything was going to go at the dinner afterward since Richard usually has to stay for tithing and I had to run home to feed Kaylee, etc. But it went MUCH better than I had imagined. We had tons of support from our awesome families and everything went pretty smooth. Kaylee cried through most of the blessing- I can't imagine how hard that would be to still concentrate on the words you're saying when your baby is screaming, but Richard did a GREAT job on the blessing. And I'm sure most people still caught a word or two of it :) Kaylee looked adorable in her blessing dress and was a perfect angel all through church except during the blessing! I was a terrible daughter and forgot the BEAUTIFUL blanket that my mother-in-law had made specifically for Kaylee's blessing and felt awful about it the entire day (and still do). I'll definitely have to find a way to make it up to her because it was a lot of work and it really is a gorgeous blanket.

I guess Kaylee decided she had to make it an extra special day because she rolled over for the 1st time before church. Everyone is shocked when I tell them that because she is just barely over 2 mos but I think she just wants to be an overachiever like her dad :) Something must be special about Sundays because she didn't roll over again all week but then she did again this morning. I love seeing all the new things she learns how to do. I have such a beautiful little angel!
