Is anyone else just flat out tired?!?!?!
We took a staycation last week to get some things done around our house - got our trees trimmed in the back yard (totally fascinating to watch), painted our front and back doors, got some landscaping done, you know... standard staycation stuff.
What really makes me laugh about our staycation was bed time. Diana would go down like normal, between 8 and 9, and sleep through the night like she usually does... and we would also go to bed shortly after... All I could think is that we are truly in our 30s now, going to bed so early! However, in our defense, we also got up and started our day when Diana woke up - between 9 and 10.
Yes, our 5 month old not only sleeps through the night, but also sleeps for extremely long stretches!! I don't know how we do it, other than keep to a strict bedtime routine... but she sleeps perfectly! AND she naps too!
Prior to miss Bonus Loness' arrival, our staycations consisted of staying up all night playing video games, sleeping all day, going to the movies nearly every day, and random trips to wherever... it's crazy how babes can change everything. No complaints, just telling the truth.
I also noticed something about our staycation... parenting, especially new parenting, is extremely isolating... You can't just drop everything to go do whatever. And sometimes you don't even want to. We spent pretty much our entire time as a family of 3 - it was the best staycation ever!! While we didn't get everything checked off of our list, we spent plenty of family time. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world!
Honestly, while I am extremely tired (which makes no sense...) I am so excited for future vacations as a family of 3 :) To just hang with my best friend, and our best babe... nothing can top that.
