Well, it has been a busy few days. Matthew did great on the flights and thanks to this great couple from Ohio I was able to use the bathroom and eat b/c they helped hold and entertain him on the flight...then my brother and sister arrived to drive us home and Matt exploded...the whole 30 minute drive and about 30-45 minutes at the house he was in a fit...think it was combination of ears, over tiredness, and stimulation...gave him meds to help if pain was involved and to help him sleep...he ended up asleep and actually slept well...then 440am local time, so 740 East coast time he was up and so was Mommy...that happened the first 2 days...then yesterday morning we slept in to 6ish...which was awesome b/c I got some sleep...this morning we were up at 5 so somewhat a compromise...I got Mom up to help keep me company this morning...figured 530ish was really 730ish her time so it shouldn't have been a big issue...luckily she was glad to get up and spend time with Matthew...
So far the trip is great, I have seen an old Okinawa friend Kelly down at the Hard Rock Casino and had dinner last night with an old AF Physiology friend Wes...It was so great to see and catch up with them...Today the plan is kid pictures at 10am with a photographer....I would like to have some Matthew shots alone since it is 5 months tomorrow for him and I have not gotten professional photos taken since the day 1 ones from the hospital...I also hope if there is time to take a few of me with Matt but not sure if that will work since the appointment is really just for the kids...so may have to do the mommy and me photos back in Richmond in a few months, which might be a good thing since I can maybe get them around the 7 or 8 month mark and get some progression on pics...
Tonight is suppose to be adult night...since I didn't sleep well, if Adult night means we hit he casino around 6 and get home by 9 I am so in...but if it is too late I think I am going to have to pass b/c I am exhausted...plus would hate to leave my nieces with 2 babies all alone plus the energetic 4yr old and brother...its crazy, I have not worked out once due to the crazy schedule...I am up at 5 when it would be a great time to run but no one is up to watch Matt so by the time everyone is up it is hot and I am too tired to do anything...plus my foot is bothering me again so I have chalked this week up as my rest and recovery week..hopefully the foot will get better...
ok, baby is fussing and Brother Johnny worked to 1am so gotta run and take care of him so he doesn't wake up the entire house.
