3 Weeks!

It's hard to believe that Levi is three weeks today. Time is going by so fast. But it's also been the longest, most exhausting, three weeks of my entire life. Early this week Levi decided that he no longer wanted to sleep. The nice "long" 3-4 hour stretches of sleep suddenly disappeared. And it would take us literally hours to get him to sleep. Now he's sleeping again, but in shorter bursts. He wakes up and wants to eat every 2 hours. I guess he's going through a growth spurt! I know this is all normal but it's exhausting.
My mom has been my savior this week. After a really hard day Monday she came over early Tuesday to take care of Levi (and do some cleaning up) so that I could get some sleep. It was wonderful. The rest of the week has been much better. It's amazing what a little sleep (and an extra hand) can do for a person. I've had several showers cut short by Levi, so it was nice having her here just so I could get some uninterrupted time to bathe.
It was really weird not going back to work this week. I can't believe summer is over so soon. I'm really looking forward to the long weekend. Having Gabe home Monday is going to be great. We don't have any huge plans but I'd like to get out and do something fun. Diapers, feedings, dishes, and laundry aren't fun!
And here's a picture of Levi today. Enjoying some swinging time and celebrating being 3 weeks! I can't wait until he starts to smile. This grumpy face is getting old.
