stuff

do i already have a subject line called stuff? i can't remember, and i am not too creative about labeling my posts, so this will have to do!

anyway, the past week has been wierd because chris had off all week due to spring break and my regular routine was changed. now i cant even remember what my weekly routine was! but it was nice having him home.

speaking of routine the whole caitlin crying herself to sleep thing is going a little better, i think. we are giving her a bath now before bed, and that seems to help some. we havent hit the "i'm going to fall asleep once i get put into the crib" stage yet though. there's still crying and protesting on her behalf. but what it all comes down to is that she will NOT sit down. she insists on standing and holding onto the railing. the other night she had been doing that for about an hour when we went to check on her and noticed she needed a diaper change. well, she fell asleep as soon as we laid her down on the changing table. poor thing was so tired, but refused to lay down in the crib. i just dont know how to get her to do that. advice anyone???
i tell ya though, she has some strong legs!!

in other news according to the scale i am 4 pounds away from a major breakthrough .once i do that i will be in territory i havent seen in at least 5 years or so. so thats exciting! i only wish my clothes felt as different too. but my friend told me that once you have kids things dont fit like they used to. bummer.
