Christmas Shopping

Christmas shopping is almost done...it's not going to be a crazy shopping spree year as I am on maternity leave and we didn't budget cash for Christmas and really who needs more stuff anyway. Adrian wanted to get his cousins and his friends some gifts and is making gifts for his
Grandma's. He picked out and wrapped a toy for his brother and and wrapped a present for his daddy. He even wrapped a present for himself: a glow in the dark sword from the dollar store. So cute! Barry's getting me a remote start for the van so I Can heat it up without leaving the house in the morning :) He got some new Keens and camping gear at the REI Garage sale and a PS3/Blu Ray DVD Player on Black Friday so that is his Christmas..we'll just have to repackage and wrap them up and put them under the tree.

Speaking of the tree, we love our tree and our new ornaments! We found more candy coane ornaments at the dollar store, and thomas the train xmas wrapping paper too! We have a signing chipmunk and snoopy playing the piano that Adrian likes to push on over and over again. The Chipmunk sings "I'm getting nothing for Christmas, Mommy and Daddy are mad, I'm getting nothing for Christmas, cuz Ive been nothing but bad." Adrian asks what the chipmunk did that was bad to his little brother and what the chipmunk's name is.

The baby still has a cough...doctors say no medicine since he's to young..just wait it out. He at least hasn't had any fevers and is breathing just fine. Adrian got over the cold a few days ago. I still have a cough, stuffy and sore throat. I went tot he clinic yesterday since it had been 10 days...got an inhaler since my chest was tight but gonna just wait it out and hope it goes away soon.

Going back to work on Dec 20th so I've started having anxiety dreams about work, clients, and babysitters. I have my childcare situation worked out but still tying up loose ends and finalizing details. My coworker Liza will be watching the boys Mon, Wed, Fri. Grandma Biss and Grandpa Tim will be watching them at the house on Tue/Thurs.

I still don't sleep well as it is and am up every night 2-5 times. Although Kaili might be asleep I'm still awake for who knows why. The last thing I need is a sleeping disorder. At least Adrian still sleep through the night, ever since we got him his big boy bed and memory foam mattress. Kaili still sleeps with us. He sometimes naps in his crib for a 1/2 hour but sleeps best in his swing or bassinet, and best in your arms :) Kaili's new tricks are grabbing at toys and blankies and his binky...chewing on his hands...more vocalizing and active intentional kicking in his bouncy chair.
