Running on very low fuel......

So before I talk about this week I wanted to mention the above picture. Don't you love that face? It looks like he got caught doing something naughty! Yes Karson is now pulling himself up all by himself and standing in the crib. He is so strong. Ty is convinced he will start walking in a month, but I am not so sure. However he is growing up so fast! He loves to play in his crib, he just moves all over the place and smiles.

Even when he is sick he is still mostly happy! His hair is growing so fast! It needs to be trimmed again!
So this week has been very tiring. Tuesday I had work off and that was a good thing as I still didn't feel very good at all. Karson was good and seemed happy. Tuesday night he woke up at 1:00 am and wanted to be up again until 2:00 then fell back asleep until 5 then I had to feed him and get up at 6:30 to go to work. My ears were plugged all day at work, which I HATE. My work was all going bowling for my dad's birthday and I had to miss it because I felt like crap.
Wednesday night Karson went to bed just great at 8:00 then he woke up an hour later at 9:00 not very happy at all, because his nose was so stuffed up. He was getting frustrated.Well we tried to get him to go back to sleep, and every time I would rock him he would fall asleep and I would put him in his crib and then he would wake up mad. I think I got out of my bed about ten times before I finally decided to just let him sleep in bed with us. It was 1:00 am by this time and I was wasted. He slept good until about 5:00, then I fed him gave him some medicine and put him back to bed. Luckily I had Thursday off and was able to stay home and play with my stuffed up kid. I also got to get a nap in there when Karson took his afternoon nap, which was MUCH needed for my sanity.
Last night was no better in the sleeping area. Poor Karson just hates being stuffy and he has now started coughing. The medicine helps so I hope this will pass soon. I just hate hearing his stuffy little breathing. I know it could be worse and I am thankful it is just a cold.
Tyler has been very busy with school and work. On Tuesday's he doesn't get home until about 10:45 at night and then Thursday's it varies between 8:00-10:00 I am realizing how much I took advantage of the time we spent together and the reality of being a working, going to school, taking care of kids family is starting to show. We hardly ever have any alone time any more and we are both really tired a lot. This weekend he has a paper to write and we aren't doing much else. Today I am finally starting to feel better, still a little stuffy but better!
So I am running on fumes, I guess you could say. Hopefully this weekend we can relax and get some good sleep in!
P.S. I just wanted to mention that I got the American Idol predictions right this week! Let's see how I do next week!

I'm sorry you have still been feeling crappy. That sucks... I don't know how you do it with a baby, too... I am never going to function, I will be the WORST mom ever!!!

Anyway, I can't believe Karson is pulling himself up. He is growing so fast. I know I am biased, but seriously, he is really the cutest baby ever!!! I just love him!!

Rylee has to do homework all weekend too so hopefully if I'm not sick I can get some things done... I feel like I've seriously been worthless the past few weeks.

That was a long comment.
Anyway, love you- let me know if you need anything this weekend, or whenever!

Oh sad :( Do you need me to bring you anything? I hope you both get better soon! That is awful :( That picture of Karson is adorable. He is so strong! I am with Tyler on this one, I think he will be walking in no time : )

I hate when they get sick, but it is the best time to snuggle, cuddle and be together because when he feels better, he's going to start again non-stop. Luckily you were sick first and not second so you have a lot of energy back already.

I love all his hair! It is so cute! What a big boy he is already.

He looks so grown up. He totally reminds me of Isaac when he was that age. He walked by 10 months and was so strong and had tons of hair. It is amazing the difference between him and Eli. I'm betting that Tyler isn't that far off on him walking soon.
