Happy Monday morning.  I hope everyone had a great Easter.  We were expecting a lazy day, but ended up being fairly busy - by choice.  Jeff, Judi, and I went to the H Mart (Asian market) mid-day.  It was packed!  We wanted to look for a seafood dinner.  We were hoping for live blue crabs, but they didn't have any.  We got some sashimi grade tuna and salmon and decided to make some sushi for dinner instead.  We also picked up some veggies and some shrimp (heads still on) and Jeff made tempura as well.  We had a GREAT feast for dinner with TONS of leftovers.  Sushi anyone? 

After dinner I was exhausted.   We stayed out too late the night before and I didn't get to nap at all.  I wanted to go to bed after George's 7 pm feeding.  I knew he'd need to eat around 11, but I was pooped.  I went upstairs and got ready for bed around 8:30.  George was falling asleep (for a last little cat nap of the day) around 9 pm, so Jeff tried to put him in his crib.  That didn't work out so well.  I think George was missing his bedtime routine - lotion, massage, change, bottle, kisses, bed.  So, he started to fuss.  We brought him into our bed on the boppy pillow next to me.  He didn't want to nap anymore.  He fussed every few minutes and I didn't get to really rest.  :(  I fed him at 11:30 pm, did the routine and put him down.  

We got up at 4:00 am for a feeding and then at 8:00 am for a feeding and to start our day.  I was so tired, and enjoyed my first few hours of sleep so much, even the 4 am feeding wasn't so bad.  I need to find a way to stretch that out his evenings some more.  Not sure how to get him to sleep through the night . . . or if he even should at this point.  I have exactly two weeks to go until "back to work," so I would love to get him through the night by then.  Good luck, huh??  ;)
