ARE YOU KIDDING ME???
I can't believe that I just found this template for our blog. OWLS!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Nothing too much has been going on. We are getting into a pretty good routine with sleeping (or lack there of) and getting around in the morning, etc.
Day in the life of us: (i have to start in the evening for it all to make sense)
Jack goes to bed around 730-800pm. We lay down together, we call mimi and then he is fast asleep.
During that time, Matt feeds Brooke.
Brooke usually is in bed by 9pmish.
Then matt and I go to bed and it usually takes us approximately 30 seconds to fall asleep
Brooke wakes up between 11-12am to be fed. Usually she only takes 1 oz and falls back asleep. Usually on me because either a) i fall asleep or b) i try to lay her back down and she just cries in like 10 minutes (and YES, Jack wakes up when she cries for too long so the crying it out thing just isn't happening yet)
At around 2-3am Brooke wakes up again and it's Matt's turn. I change her, he gets the bottle ready and I am off to lala land in our bed.
I wake up at 430am to get showered and ready for work. I like to be ready by 5am (when matt needs to get ready for work) that way I can get Brooke fed again and ready for "school".
Jack has been awesome getting dressed or halfway dressed himself in the mornings. He is getting toooooo big. He isn't a baby anymore and it makes me sad....
anyway, then I make bottles, pack brooke's bag and try to be out in the car at 6am (no later than 615am).
Drop Jack off at school at 620ish then take Brooke to her class at 630ish and get her settled in and clock in at work at 650am.
WOAH!!!!
Then I work until 330pm, pick up both kids and I am home by 415pm.
Dinner, etc....................START ALL OVER!!!!
We are exhausted but I wouldn't have it any other way. We are so blessed with our kiddos and I can't imagine our life any other way. Do we dream and fantasize about the days we get to sleep more than 3 hours in a row...........ABSOLUTELY!!!! HAHAH!
That's it for now. More updates soon. I will post pictures soon as well. Jack has an appointment with his pulmonologist Monday so we will update on that as well.
Have a great weekend and HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all you mommies out there!!!!!
HUGS

Where have I been??? Where am I going?
HELLO!!!! Once again it has been forever since I have made a post and I apologize. We have been busy. Doctor's appointments, playing, visitors, Easter and getting ready to go back to work. YEP.....I am not lying. I have to go back to work Monday. I am very anxious about it. I am dreading it on one hand and ready on the other hand. I am ready to get into a routine and have a "normal" life instead of a fly by the seat of my pants life. Although, Brooke is not sleeping very much at night so we might be walking zombies!!!
The Bowling family went on their first road trip as a family of four for Easter. We headed to Monticello to my Aunt Cindy and Uncle Dan's house. It was a fabulous day. EVERYONE was there and it was just the best. And thanks to my cousin Laura for taking pictures with her awesome camera, I had to go get one too....so all the pics on here are with my new camera and I absolutely LOVE it. Happy 5 year anniversary to me from my hubby!!!!
Kiddo updates:
Brooke is doing wonderful. She had 4 vaccines at her appointment this past week and she wasn't a big fan of that at all. She was pretty fussy the rest of the day and night. We were hoping she would weigh in at at least 7 lbs and much to our surprise she was 7lbs 11 oz!!! We must be doing something right huh??? She is still getting up about every 3 hours to eat....which is about every 2 hours if you think about it since it takes about an hour to change, feed, burp and put her back to bed. Hopefully daycare will wear her out and she will start sleeping more hours in a row at night.
Jack is doing awesome as well. His vocab is really expanding to bigger more complicated words and I love it. He is doing awesome with his letters and writing them. And his name is getting perfected too....although he insists on writing an "H" for an "A" and he won't change it EVER!!! hahah. He did break his glasses for the first time ever this week and it hasn't been pretty. He can't see much without them and they cannot be fixed, so we will be going Monday for an eye exam and to pick out new glasses.
That's about it for now. Enjoy the pictures!!!
