Visitors and a New Place!

Over the last several days, Beckett and I have had many visitors while Daddy was away.  Joe spent Sunday through Thursday in West Virginia searching for a new place for us to live.  He found a large townhouse that sounds really great.  It has a finished basement with lots of space for the all of the new things Beckett has acquired in his short little life.  It doesn't have a garage and it only has a small backyard, but those are things we were willing to sacrifice.  It is even bigger than our house now and is also cheaper, so we are thrilled about that.  I am definitely ready for Daddy to get home!

While Joe was gone, Beckett and I had lots of visitors.  I was very worried about being home alone with Beckett.  (New mom nervousness I suppose.)  Joe's sister, Rachel, and her boyfriend, A.J., drove in from Houston on Sunday to stay with us for a few days.  Unfortunately, Joe took our digital camera and Rachel forgot hers, so we don't have any pictures to document the trip yet.  It was great to have them here because I could run errands and get some things done while they watched Beckett.  I was glad Beckett got to meet his Aunt Rachel, even if he may not remember it.  I also had several co-workers stop by to check on me, which I greatly appreciated.

Beckett has been doing much better at night over the last few days.  He will eat around 10-10:30 and then usually sleep for a few hours.  He'll eat two more times in the night and sleep in his crib for about 2 hours at a time.  I am glad he is developing a schedule.  Yesterday afternoon and this morning he was awake for quite some time and was not crying, which was wonderful.  We took some walks with Noodle and Albert and even went and got a smoothie.  He is not terribly happy at the moment, so I guess I better wrap this one up.  Hopefully once Joe gets back this evening I will have some more pictures to post.
