Scheduling Conflicts

It's funny how we've adapted to this so quickly and how fun it has been. It's not often you get to re-design the flow of your days and nights. In order to give you an accurate idea, I'll start at 1:30AM - right after Jimmy Fallon!


1:30am - Jimmy Fallon is over so I (Courtney) head to bed. Nathan has already brewed at least one pot of coffee at this point and is ready to stay up all night with the Noodle. I head to our room and pop in a movie to fall asleep to. I have to put a movie in, if I don't then I end up laying there listening for Sevyn's crys.

**From 1:30 to 6:30 or 7am, I sleep and Nathan keeps Sev from waking the neighbors while watching random shows on TV and purchasing lots of books for $2 on E-bay. It is amazing how awake he stays!

6:30 or 7am - Nathan wearily (and heroicly) strolls into our bedroom, he has a freshly diapered baby and a freshly made bottle. He drops off the Noodle and all her necessaries and passes out on the couch in the nursery. It is so nice of him to leave the bed for me and the baby, and it is hard to sleep around the baby sometimes because she is in and out of sleep at this time.

**From 6:30 or 7am to 2:00 or 2:30pm, Sevyn and I watch a movie (usually the same movie 3 times, so we can watch the begining the middle and the end, we fall asleep here and there) and we go through a couple of bottles and 2 diapers and Nathan gets the sleep he deserves!

2:00pm or 2:30pm - I get out of bed (OMG, I can't believe how weird that looks!!! It is not as glam as it sounds) and go wake up Nathan. Depending on how much spit up there has been through the morning, Sevyn and I either clean up in the tub or get a new bottle going while nathan wakes up.

3:30pm - Nathan and I put the noodle into the swing and relax together. Sometimes (ok most of the times) we watch a movie - what can I say, we love the movies - and sip coffee and eat something random. Today we had turkey sandwiches for "breakfast".

5:00pm - A few nights out of the week, I start dinner for the fam and Nathan hangs out with Sevyn or does the dishes. Lastnight he went to the store for us and got all the fixings for a full on awesome breakfast. Pancakes, Eggs, Bacon, OJ - the WORKS!

7:30pm - We hang out with the fam and start another couple pots of coffee!

After 9:30 things get a little fuzzy because it's getting late for me physcially but mentally I am wide awake and Nathan is just entering into his prime time so to speak... We have a really good time together during these times though - the Noodle is asleep for the most part and so Natha and I chat and laugh and watch any shows that we have recorded from eariler...And then it begins all over again...

I can't wait till we get our stroller - I am craving some outside time and we really like to just bum around together! Sometimes we go into town during the day - sometimes we have doctors appointments or we need milk and doughnuts (at 3am) or we just want to go somewhere.
It looks weird, and it sounds funny, but that is our life right now and we actually really really like it!!!
