A time for change and new stuff

just when you think the routine is setting in, everything has fallen into places. you can live on status quo for a while?

last week it apeared to be so. but this week, so much for that. it seems that everything that seemed to have became a constant, is now pushing its way for a change. My mom telling me she has to go back to the hospital and she will need more time to rest and that mean, less time here to help. last time that happened, it burned me out for a long time. but with DS that has his bedtime routine downpath, its that much easier then 3 months ago, DD is now, not quite crawling but rolling around a fair bit. she is more independent to explore and play. so i'm not so worried about being alone with the kids anymore. DS seem to understand a bit more when i have to nurse DD.

then there's my nursing confort that is gonna soon be a thing of the past. Saturday, i detected a new tooth. her first tooth, and i think she had her own experience of it. she bit her toe. she has been sitting more and more sturdy on her own since 2 weeks ago. I think the introduction of solids is coming soon.

and we decided it was time DS had a room of his own. he was sleeping in the same room with me, and it was still ok after DS was born but at this point, the thought of one waking up, waking up the other is not my idea of a late night party. That mean that someone will have to go sleep in the basement tho. wish we had a bigger house, but that's not in the budget for now. That change will have to wait.

and so, today we've been moving things around, DS has most of his stuff in his new room, but some of DH's stuff still have to go. and some of mine too. yeah, we have a wierd sleeping arangement, but considering the shift work, it was the best we came up with so each can maximise on their sleep. and like anything else, i don't think it's permanent.

hehe, i just spotted my DH waring one of my shirts. its a bit big for him, hopefully that will change too and my stuff will be too small for him. not that i mind him waring my stuff, just that i'd like to shrink down some. but i should go to bed for now.

change is part of life, change is life
