Lately Abigail likes to name people different things. Mike is a pirate, and so is Brooklyn and Xavier. I am superman. And Abigail is a superhero with the name A. She will tell us she is going to get us and hurt us. I have tried to tell her superheros are nice and help others, but she doesn't understand.
She also like to play the wii. We introduced her to Just Dance the other night when Mike's Brother and his girlfriend was here. She has wanted to play with it every day ever since. But I am the only one here, so I am the one that dances with her. Someday I hope that I will get better. She is also asking for her uncle Tim to come again. Usually she doesn't want him to come back. I think it is his new girlfriend that she likes.
Abigail and Brooklyn are always doing pretend play it is so much fun to watch.

Fun weekend so far
This weekend has been quite busy. Friday I went and got a massage. I have been needing on for quite some time, even the massage therapist said so. It was really nice. That was about the only thing I did on Friday other than take care of kids.
Today Saturday has been fun. First we cleaned the whole house. I went through the kids toys and organized them. That will last for about a day or two. After cleaning I had lunch and then I left to get a hair cut. I decided that it was time for a dramatic change. So I got it chopped and then I got a dye job, then she cut it so it was straight.
I came home and Mike and the girls said that they loved it. Tonight Mike and I went on a date we have not been on one for a long time. My parents came and baby-sat. We went to the Chef's table. It was so good. Dinner started out quiet, but then a bunch of teenager on their prom date came in and they were laughing a lot, but then they calmed down. I got two desserts, ate one there and will eat one tonight. After dinner we went grocery shopping and then came home.

The car fell through. Mike was supposed to go get it this morning, but we got a call last night from the seller. He said he decided to sell the car to another couple, because they are a young couple with a baby and their last car blew up. So they really needed one.
Mike could of said no, because they had a contract. But he new the other couple needed it more than us. We have decided to put a car on hold and keep the money in the bank for a rainy day.

Good things
So life is good right now, for all of us.
Xavier is sleeping better. He now gets up 3 to 4 times a night, which is much better than 7 times a night. He is awake more during the day and has smiled for me and me only so that is awesome.
Brooklyn is now sleeping in her big girl bed. Last week we decided just to try it. She kept getting up for an hour or so, but eventually fell asleep in her bed. We go in every night to make sure she is in bed. Usually she is in bed with Abigail.
Abigail has not had an accident for a month now. Before the baby came I was struggling with her going poop. But she got it down right after he was born. We promised her a little kitchen if she learned and she has not forgot. So we ordered her one the other night. She is enjoying preschool and having fun learning a lot.
Mike is always gone with work or school he leaves at 7:30 in the morning and gets home at 8:30 at night. It makes for long days but it will be over soon.
I am doing well. Feeling better everyday. I am getting into my regular schedule, if the kids let me. I am slowly losing weight and can't until I can exercise.
We got our tax return yesterday, so we payed off our car. We still had money left so we thought about what we could do and we decided to buy a cheap car for Mike to drive around so I will have a car, if I need it. It will be easier on me, because I had to schedule things around his schedule now I will be able to go when I need to.

Long Night
Xavier doesn't like to sleep on his own. I think it has to do with the fact that when I came home from the hospital I hurt so much I couldn't sit up without pain. So I let him sleep with me. So now I am trying to get him to sleep on his own. He is also going through a growth spurt or something. He wants to eat every hour. It is so hard on me. Mike will tell me to pump a bottle so he can feed him, and I tell him that is hard to pump when the baby wants to eat once an hour.
Last night was one of the worst nights yet. We just started putting Brooklyn in her big girl bed. And it took her about 2 hours to finally go to bed last night. She kept getting on Abigail's bed and Abigail would yell at her to go to bed, she was getting in the dresser turning on the light. So after we finally got her to bed I tried to go to bed. With Xavier liking to eat every hour I would feed him I would think he was asleep and I would try and he would start crying for food again. At 2 he decided it was time to be wide awake. I tried to cuddle him and I somehow pulled a muscle in my upper back. So whatever way I moved it hurt, I was in tears because it hurt so bad. The pain was even going down into my arms. About 3:30 I finally got him back to sleep. I finally fell asleep.
A couple of hours he woke up and actually ate with me laying down in bed with him. While I was feeding him I heard Brooklyn cry a little. Which is normal for her so I kind of just ignored it. But then I heard her talking and turn on a toy. Again I was like oh well. But then I heard Abigail crying which is not normal, So after about 5 minutes I went in there and Brooklyn was sitting by Abigail's head on her pillow. They both got up. I knew it was early I was going to be a bad mom and just put cartoons on for them and go back to bed. Until I saw the time it wasn't even 6 yet. Brooklyn went and woke up Mike. I told him about my night and he said to go back to bed. I took a pain pill and tried to go back down, but still couldn't sleep. Xavier woke up about an hour later. So I got up, fed him out a heat pad on my back and tried to relax.
Now the kids are playing, Xavier is having floor time and Mike is in the shower. I am trying not to move, because of the pain. I wish I could go get a massage or something for this.
