So last week, my mom and dad were here. Lewis and I had a party to go to, and we were going to be out late. So who better to watch our kids than my mom? Actually, she is pretty much THE ONLY ONE I am willing to leave Bishop with. And nighttime routine? ABSOLUTELY only my mom.
I give you this back story because it marked the first time since Bishop was born that Lewis and I went out. ALONE. Britton goes to MDO and my MIL takes him all day once a week. But my baby Bishop? I think I've been away from him maybe 30 minutes at the most since he's been born. Not because I don't want to, but because I don't trust anyone with him.. It's weird. I was not this way with Britton at all. I don't know if it's because I had no choice but to leave him with my MIL when I was having the appointments for my hip and stuff. Or maybe it was because I was miserable with slight PPD and just wanted to pawn him off to the first person who wanted him. Once I quit nursing, and got on some Lexapro, I enjoyed him much much more.
Anyways, we went out. And even though I was ready to come home at 9pm (because I was TIRED, I knew I'd be getting up with Bishop, and because I missed my boys), we didn't get home until about 11:30pm.
And my mom told me that Bishop had rolled over. Ummm, he was only 9 weeks old. How does this happen? I clearly remember Britton was on the late end for rolling over. I attributed it to his size. Bigger babies have "more" to roll over, so they take longer. Right? Wrong. Bishop is a big baby and he has no problem with it.
So I figured it was a fluke. But then he did it again. And again. And again. To date, he has rolled five times in one week.
Which means I need to reconsider the swaddle. Because I obviously can't restrict his arms if he's rolling. He may suffocate. And I certainly don't want that! Him rolling over is causing him to wake himself up. But if I don't swaddle, his arms flailing wake him up. I foresee a rough next couple of weeks while I figure out what to do.
In other news, I got a haircut. And I cried as she was cutting it. She did not do what I asked. But after living with it for a week, I'm actually not as traumatized as I was the first day. Yeah, it's short. Yeah, it has too many SHORT layers, but it looks healthier, and it's definitely more "trendy".
It's been SO hot. We're talking a record 109 on Friday, and then today's 111 broke that 2 day old record. we need rain so so so bad. We don't even go outside it's so hot.
My hair was really curly here. This is not how I normally wear it. I'm not a fan of it in the picture.
