YAY for December!

I can't believe it's only been a little over a week since Thanksgiving. It feels like it was so long ago already. I have a strange feeling Christmas will be the same way. But I love December and I need to do some serious Christmas shopping! I haven't bought a dang thing yet. I'll probably be calling my brother Mike to see if I can go shopping with him on Christmas Eve. He'll be ducking under the closing gates to the mall stores for ME this year lol.
Well, Buzz finished his 2nd week of work in Vernal. He wasn't able to come home friday like we thought. He came home Saturday night around 6. It was a very long Saturday waiting for him to come home but the rest of the weekend has flown by. He leaves again tomorrow morning at 5 :( Hopefully there's only another week - maybe a week and a half left. By then it'll be Christmas week! YAY!!! I can't wait. I love spending time with our families.
Highlights this week..... I am very sleep deprived. Our son decided he wants to wake up every 2 hours or less to eat. I don't know if he's going through a growth spurt or if he's just restless. One night this week he was moving, wiggling and fussing every half hour like he just couldn't get into a deep sleep. Of course that wakes me up and wow! It has been a week! We're going to try feeding him some baby rice tonight before bed to see if maybe the problem is that milk alone is just not tying him over. It's been a hard adjustment with Hurley sleeping the way he has been. He used to sleep from 8:30 til 4:30 or 5 a.m. and now it's every 2 hours. I don't feel rested at all when I wake up. Yet even through all of this I still don't have any regrets having him in my life.
Hurley is officially in size 3-6 month jeans! I don't want to say it's about time, but he's 4 months this week and just now movin up. He has his Dr.s appt Friday for his 4 month checkup and his shots so we'll see what percentile he's in this time. He was a little below average coming in at the 25th percentile for all 3 catagories at his 2 month check. I'm just glad he's growing and he's healthy. Oh yeah, his ear infection seems to be gone and he finished all of his antibiotics this week. He did so good taking his meds. I'm proud of him.
Well, I'm not sure what else to put in here. I've been one bummed out loser this week without my hubby being home. We haven't done anything really exciting because of it. Hurley is probably the only thing keeping me happy. I can't wait for this weekend though. Buzz will be home sometime Thursday for their work Christmas party and Hurley and I get him for 4 whole days!!! YAY!!!
Until next week (hopefully) peace out :)
