Typing with one hand is going to greatly increase the amount of time it takes me to type this and the number of typos.
At some point in the last week or so, Charlie became a very needy baby. What happened?? I used to be able to put him in his swing or in the Boppy when he was sleeping and have an hour or two to do what I wanted. Lately, as soon as I put him down, he wakes up and demands to be held. He will usually fall right back to sleep once I pick him up. I can't wait for mom to get here and become the designated baby holder. I can't get anything done! I am bouncing him on my exercise ball (we bought one when I was pregnant to help relieve pelvic discomfort in the last few days... I don't think we ever really used it for that...) because he really likes it. It is how Chad and I spend a lot of our time these days, so I'm hoping it will result in me looking like the girl on the box. Ask me about my six-pack abs!
In other news, my medical tests came back normal (of course) - so they are sending me for a couple more, and then they might take my gall bladder out. They said they have to do all of these tests first for the insurance to pay for the gall bladder-ectomy. (I'm pretty sure that's the medical term.)
Also, I went back to work this last week because my kids have a concert this upcoming week and I wanted to make sure they are ready. (They will be fine.) I also taught the children's choirs and directed the pep band at 2 basketball games. It was exhausting. All I can say is, I am counting down the days to summer vacation!

Addie did the same thing and then she got better at about the 3 month mark so hopefully it is just a (kind of long) phase.
Well, I can't say anything about the neediness--I haven't gotten anything done since Heather was born (so far, she's interrupted me twice while typing this comment). I just wanted to say that we also use our exercise ball all the time! She loves it.
We have two exercise balls: one for the family room and one for the nursery because Alice enjoyed them so much (not the original purpose, but only way to get her to calm down) I also had days where all I did was hold her. One day I watched the first half of "Lord of the Rings" like three times because she inevitably fell asleep at the end and I wouldn't let me move to change discs.
Try a wrap, maybe? Ben had a hard time sleeping because of his hernia that we didn't know about and he would take his naps in a Moby wrap, which meant that I could still get things done.
