We didn't have any big plans for the 4th this year, which was fine by us. Life is so busy these days that low-key plans are wonderful. Steve got confused about the dates for some plans, so we ended up having a date night on the 3rd. We had Mexican and then played mini golf. Then we went to see the fireworks with the girls. The older girls remembered them from last year and they loved them again. Nora woke up and I sat her on my lap facing the fireworks. She watched them intently and cooed every so often. It was a late night but the girls loved it.
Now the big news: Nora has slept 8-9 hours straight for the past 7 nights! I was convinced the first night was a fluke, since it was Steve's night to get up with her. She did it again the next night, again a night Steve normally gets up with her. But it happened again and again. Last night we decided to try letting her sleep in the crib in her sisters' room and see how that went. Once again, she slept straight through. Awesome! It is SUCH a relief that her sleep patterns are more like Ella's than Mia's.
I started a second blog so that my weight loss wouldn't take over this one. My profile links to both. I do have to share that TurboFire came this week - yay! I'm starting it Monday and hope the scale actually moves down after that.
A few other bits of news: Steve's cousin's wife had their newest baby earlier this week. Steve's mom turned 50. And my good friend Jenny was induced yesterday and had little Jaden this morning! I don't have more details than that, since Nate said they needed naps. I should get more info later and hopefully can go visit them tomorrow since I don't think I'll get a chance today.
