The first few days...

We're easing ourselves into the whole kid at home thing by having Sulley at home first. Of course the fun won't really start until Colton is here!  (HURRY UP!!)  We've worked out a pretty sweet deal- im going to bed early and greg is taking the late night feeding and mid morning feeding, im getting up at 230-3 and greg is up at 530 and then he's back to sleep in no time.  we all know that if it was me doing the 530am feeding, i would just stay up and probably have been to the grocery store and target all prior to 8am!  Lucky for me though-- i've missed Sulley's midnight breakdowns.  According to greg, she wakes up, throws her arms straight up in the air and starts going ballistic ... he gives her the paci, which she practically tries to eat, and when that doesn't satisfy her anymore, he gives her the bottle which she tries to slurp down in one gulp, acting like a rabid animal who hasn't eaten in a week.  All this is topped off when she lets out at least TWO truck driver burps.  We're not kidding either....  (she'll definitely be fun to have at parties in about 21 years )

The rest of the weekend has been fine, other than visiting colt-man, we've spent most of the weekend visiting with friends and fam - the vanzants, the peregoys, the shaydas, and the whittakers. Thanks to everyone who dropped by and those that brought goodies :)  greg and i left sulley at home and ventured off to the hospital by ourselves while leslie and tim so graciously watched her -- a little practice for them while we wait for baby peregoy... as if they need it!

Greg and I also took Sulley on a little walk last night to Shirlington for dinner. It was too nice of a night to pass up, so we just plopped in her the stroller and down the hill we went.  Good thing greg was with me to help push the stroller up the hill... i dont know if im going to be able to make it up the hill when I have both Sulley and Colton in the stroller.... I may be calling for back up!
