So a couple of crucial things have happened in the last 48 hours. The first one is the important one. I’ve finally got back to the gym. For the last couple of weeks, Jesse has been getting up early and heading to the gym for 30-45 minutes. I haven’t gone in the past because I wasn’t sure what we could do with Ian and he has a tendency to get up around 2-3am and again around 5-6am. For me, getting up 30 minutes after getting Ian back to sleep is not how I want to start off my day. I’m really tired at that point. Plus, how could Jesse and I go to the gym together? Who would watch Ian. I mean, it’s not like we could put him in his stroller and take him with us, right? Actually, that is exactly what we’re doing. Instead of getting up a the same time every morning, we’re getting up with Ian around his 5-6am wakening. I’m fairly awake at that point and staying up isn’t that much of a problem then. I’m still trying to get Ian to go back to sleep, but instead of putting him in his bed, we’re putting him in the stroller and he gets to continue sleeping while we’re at the gym. We started doing this yesterday, but today was the first time Ian went with us (Dad was here yesterday morning). The whole plan was contigent on Ian sleeping while we were there; however, for some unknown reason, Ian decided he wanted to wake up at 6am and stay up. So we still put him in the stroller and he had a ball with the ceiling fan. Jesse and I were at the gym for about 45 minutes and Ian never made a sound. He ended up falling back asleep on the walk back to the apartment, but he wasn’t fussy or crying. So it works. I think this will work out. I’ve been cutting back on my food intake to help me lose some of the massive amounts of weight I have gain and now I’ve started exercising again. I’m still going to try Weight Watchers, but I’m going to wait until this fall. The goal is to lose a lot of the weight I gained in college in case I do end up going to my 10 year reunion next year.

We have mice! Not one, not two, but three of them. Well, we did have three mice, but we don’t know if we have any more. That’s the other thing that happened in the last 48 hours. How do we know, you ask. Ask Jesse. Anyway, the maintenance guys were out yesterday to set two traps and one was sprung rather quickly. Unfortunately, two more were caught in the remaining trap last night. I am not amused. I do not like mice running around my home. They can be under glass in a zoo somewhere, but where I eat and stand and live….not happening. I really want to know how many there are so we can get rid of all of them. I hate mice.

We finally got Ian a bouncer. Actually, dad bought the bouncer for Ian yesterday and stayed to help me put it together. Ian started going nuts in it as soon as we put him in it. He’s not crazy about it when he’s tired, but that’s to be expected.
