Another Day at Home

The news finally came down around 7:30 p.m. Monday night that UT would be closed on Tuesday, so I got to spend Tuesday at home with Suz and Luke. (Yea!) It has snowed, sleeted and rained off and on since I woke up this morning around 5:30 a.m. to feed Luke. By the sound of things, I may be at home one more day. As I write this at 4:50 p.m., I can hear the sleet hitting the windows.

Here are some photos from today.

Luke was to have his fourth-month check up on Wednesday, but the pediatrician called around noon to reschedule for Friday since they were going to go ahead and close on Wednesday. I’m sure Luke doesn’t mind putting off his shots for two days.

In our last post, Suz talked about Luke’s sleep training. After a week, I think it’s safe to say the new routine has been a success. After three nights, Luke began sleeping from 8:45 p.m. until about 4:30 a.m (sometimes 5 a.m.) before waking up for a small bottle. He takes the bottle and then goes back down until 8:30 a.m.

I think he’d sleep even longer if he wasn’t such a squirmer. The last few mornings, we’ve found him in some interesting positions...such as this. He never seems to be in any pain or discomfort; in fact, he’s usually smiling ear to ear when we find him.


Stay warm!
