Here comes friday...

Hi all - so today we had an action packed day. Owen and dad started the day off cooking mom a special 30th bday breakfast.......wait let's back up to the sleep seeing as that is a favorite topic. We went to bed around 10:30pm and thought we were in for a sleepless night again, but once Owen settled down a little bit he was able to eat and get sleepin around 1:30am. During the night he woke up for the standard 2-3hr diaper/feeding and then back to sleep so we were happy for that. That was a close one.......

Later that morning gma schulze came over and made Emily a lovely shrimp pasta dish and had some good conversation. From there we had a lactation consult where we learned some tips and had Owen checked.....he's progressing great and gained 1.5oz in one day which I guess is good (who knew).

After the adventure to the doc we came home to relax before enjoy yet another wonderful meal at gma/gpa schrievers. Ben also surprised her with Lilith Fair concert tickets which she had her heart set on, but Ben had to come up with the excuse of "I am not sure Owen will be ready for us to leave by the time" so that she didn't buy tickets. It worked!

Such good food and company today to make Emily feel so special on her bday.

Tomorrow, Target eun (which I am sure will turn into a routine for Em and O), friends Heather and Jay for dinner at our house and then a saturday of errands before Ben goes ack to work next week. Emily is looking for company during the week while Ben is at work so let her know if you are able to get together for lunch!

Well let's hope tonight is restful. Cheers.
