Blog sites, that is!
I've been contemplating moving from Typepad to Blogspot for the past year, but have been reluctant to do so. Typepad was my first blogging "home" and I'm a sentimentalist. I love looking back over old posts, particularly ones around the birth of our children and other big events. However, I've been dissatisfied with Typepad's formatting for quite some time and things are so much more user friendly here. So, I bid a fond farewell to our old blog, knowing that I can always look those old posts up in the archives.
Anyhow, the big news in the Lau House tonight is that Marty and I are preparing to go on our first dance weekend trip in 2 years! We still dance a lot, but mostly in our kitchen and almost always holding babies. And this will be the first time we've taken a trip just the two of us since before the kids were born. It's a bizarre concept and I'm still not quite sure how I feel about it. I absolutely love our kids, we have the best time together as a family of four. But there's a part of me that's really looking forward to going away just the two of us. Suitcases will be lighter, I'll probably actually get to eat the food on my plate while it's still hot (and at all), the chance of me wearing various bodily fluids is significantly lower, and I'll get to SLEEP. That's how I know I'm old - I'm excited to go to a dance weekend for the sleep.
And on that note, I have to confess that I'm a little nervous for Marty's parents. Don't get me wrong, they're AMAZING with the kids. And Zoey will be easy this weekend. But Finn... well he's still not sleeping. We committed to going on this trip before he was born, so we assumed by now he would be sleeping through the night, therefore it didn't feel like such an imposition to ask Marty's parents to keep the kids for a few days. Things have clearly not worked out as we imagined. Some nights are better than others, last night he only woke up at 10:30, 1:30, and 4:30. But other nights he's up 10 times. I'm preparing to keep my cell phone at my side in case they call in the middle of the night with a desperate plea to come take him home! And either way, I think a huge thank you dinner will be in order for them when we return.
Wish us (and them) luck! I'll update when we return.
