Things are looking up

It's been a little while. Sorry. (Not that anyone reads this) Things are pretty good. We got a much nicer tax return than I had hoped for or expected, so now we can afford to move, as well as maybe go to Disneyland for a few days. Jeremy and I really need to get away, though I know it will be really hard to leave Reilly, even with his grandmas... We also ordered Reilly a Britax Marathon, which is supposed to be a really good, if expensive, car seat. It was hot last week, but my wonderful husband worked like for two days getting our cooler working, and it's amazing. It even SMELLS good. And right now it's not hot; it's cool and rainy. Reilly is approaching 6 months and has made a habit of "sleeping through the night" the last 3 or 4 nights. He goes to be sometime between 9:30 and 10:30 and wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30 mostly. I'm a fan. Some combination of a new formula (that seems a little easier on his tummy), new swaddlers (with fresh, strong velcro) and starting cereal. Actually, he started on applesauce first, because he actually seemed open to eating it (unlike the rice cereal). I have since found he doesn't really like appleasauce, per se, but LOVES baby oatmeal. I like it too, because it really does smell like oatmeal, instead of the weird, formula-mixed, nasty-smelling rice cereal. :) Jeremy has been home all day today and he's taken Reilly at least half the day, if not more. I have wasted too much of that time on Facebook and stuff, but it's still been nice.

I have also been trying to be happier and more positive. It has been really good for me. Hopefully I can get out of this weird slump that has attached itself to me basically since I got pregnant and was so sick all the time. I want to feel and act like myself! Pretty pleased with life for now...
