Busy, Busy, Terribly Busy

I love visits from family and with friends, but maybe I shouldn't have scheduled so much in such a short time. I can't catch up on my rest. I don't know if Aubrey is teething or just having a sleep regression (which I read often happens at this time in their lives) but she is waking a couple times a night. She can wake up and cry for 5-20 minutes and fall right back asleep, but by the time I figure out that nothing is wrong with her I am wide awake and it takes me a good hour to fall back asleep. Therefore for the past five nights I have slept from 11-2 and 3-5 when I used to be able to sleep 10-6. Apparently I am no longer operating under the special grace God provides for sleep deprived moms of newborns because my ability to function has been greatly reduced.

We had a great visit with my parents Saturday through Tuesday morning. Today I am hosting Bible study (7 moms and 7 toddlers/babies=mad chaos, but it is wonderful) then we are having some college friends over for dinner and game night. Friday night we are having other friends over for dinner. (now both these couples are childless so I imagine that they normally stay up much later than Bill and I do) First thing Saturday morning we are driving about 3 hours away to spend a 3 day weekend at other friends' lake house. phew. When will I pack for the trip? I have no idea. But it will be fun. Oh yeah, in there is our sixth wedding anniversary too! This side of all the activity part of me is dreading it, but I know I will love all the social time and will be so happy that I did it when it is all over.
