Ahhh the 3 hour nap

I was cursing life when I got up this morning....so incredibly tired...and vowed that I was going to have the most fantastic nap this afternoon during Lucas' nap. Well I am too excited/nervous for my soccer game to nap so I got a lot of stuff done instead.

I was outside weeding the garden (don't worry I wore sunscreen and appropriate clothing this time!) and then came inside to get my soccer stuff together and relax. I even had time to give myself a soccer pedicure (nails cut as short as possible, holding on to each callus for dear life to protect my feet, and a coat of polish to cover up my uggggly big toenails that have fallen out too many times from soccer) oh and of course shave my legs....you know...so that I am faster on the field. Riggght....

And now I even have time to blog!! 3 hour naps are the best.

Lucas is an eating machine. We picked up his Grandma this morning and went to Wal Mart and then McDonald's for lunch to try their new salads (very yummy). My mom convinced me to order a hamburger for Lucas. Funniest thing ever. He must have heard me when I said that we won't be coming to McDonalds too often and he probably won't come back for a long time. He gobble-gobbled up almost the whole burger. What a little porker. All the excitement/eating must have tired him out.

I must admit that when Lucas wakes me up at 630 am and has been up 3 times that night, when I go to pick him up I am thinking "Lucas we are totally not buddies right now do not even try to look all cute at me". It takes me until I am eating breakfast and he is looking up at me with his new crinkly-nose smile and then we are buddies again. I'm sure babies have built in cuteness as a survival feature. That and the fact that they need more sleep than their parents.....keeps everyone from going crazy.

I am reading this book that I got from the library (Terry must be rubbing off on me, I haven't borrowed a book from the library since I was in elementary school) called 'The Yummy Mummy Manifesto' that I would highly recommend to anyone who is expecting or recently had a baby. It would make a really nice gift. It's kind of an advice-type book but with a very laid back approach.
