Elizabeth Being Silly

I think we have made a choice

So things are going pretty good. We found a temporary home for trooper with my dad so that he won't get put down. Which is a big relief. It was a huge ordeal but we don't need to explain it all I am just happy he is still here.
Brian and I have been discussing what we are going to do. We really want to move elsewhere with better job opportunities. We were talking about PA because he would have a job but it would cost way too much to move there and we have almost zero money in savings. Another place we were discussing is Eugene. We would start off with roommates that we know and are friends with and hopefully get our own place not to long after. We like that area because if we were to stay there for awhile there are good schools for Elizabeth to attend. And there are colleges around the area for when I am able to go back to school. But before we can do that he needs to find a job over there. Thank goodness there are more job opportunities there. If we did move too Eugene it would be sometime in May of this year which is kind of soon so we need to decide quickly.
Elizabeth is doing really good. She is going to be 5 weeks this Thursday. I can't believe how fast things are going by. She is getting big. She is holding her head up a lot better and a lot longer now. Its definitely not stable but its not as flimsy like when she was first born. The last couple days she has gone to bed around 1 am and she gets up around 3 or 4 and then between 6 and 8 and then she will sleep until 11 or 11:30. I gotta go now she is awake. Lol

Wanting and waiting for a phone call

  So Brian has applied for a marketing job that he was told about and we are really hoping for them to call. It would allow me to be able to stay at home with Elizabeth. Which is what I really want to do. And what he really wants me to do.

  Elizabeth had a really good night last night. She actually slept for at least 3 to 4 hours at a time until about 6:30 which was awesome. And she slept in her Bassinet which she hasn't done that much lately. Her sleeping in her Bassinet means I got to sleep in my bed. Woo Hoo.

Rough Night

Last night was by far the roughest night we have had since Elizabeth came home. I got to sleep until 2:30 and then I was up until almost five trying to get her to fall back to sleep. She would fall asleep but I couldn't put her down otherwise she would start screaming and crying. Poor Brian was up even longer and he had to work at 6 this morning. Luckily he only worked until one and was able to take a nap when he got home. Hopefully tonight will be a little better.

The Crazy First Week

So Elizabeth is already almost a week old. She has been home for 4 days and it hasn't been too bad. I am still trying to get used to my new sleeping pattern. Which should be the same as hers but hasn't been. I do sleep when she sleeps but not every time she sleeps. It definitely hasn't been the easiest week for me but things seem to be settling down and are becoming easier. I didn't realize how much I love my little girl until the day I finally met her. It is beyond words.
