Babies Galore

Last night we had our reunion class with the couples from our pre-birth classes. There was 6 couples total (including us). Now that we've all had our babies, we thought it would be good to get together and see each other, and meet all the babies.

Martin and I hosted the party at our house. We did a bbq and everyone brought something (salads, desserts etc). It was so great to see the couples and the babies were all so sweet. It ended up that there were 3 boys and 3 girls. The babies all ranged from about 5 weeks (the youngest) to 10 1/2 weeks (Jayla, the oldest)...It was nice to chat with the moms, about stuff that we're feeling and stuff that tough - and of course, stuff that's wonderful about motherhood. It was also so nice to hear some of the other babies fussing. And, Jayla was on her best behavoir. She was great....she hardly fussed at all.

The party lasted till about 9:30, then Martin did the dishes and I put Jayla to bed. She was asleep by 10:15, then I helped Martin finish up in the kitchen and we went off to bed at 11pm. I was shocked to see the time when Jayla woke up. It was 4am. So, that's almost 6 hours in a row. I really hope this keeps up. The night before it was5 hours again...so, hopefully this is going to be the new trend. And she had a nice 2 hour nap this morning. She's down for another nap now, we'll see if she stays sleeping for a bit.

And because Jayla was napping this morning, I was able to get some stuff done. Today is Martin's 30th Birthday and we are having a little dinner/cake party for him. Just family. So, I made the cake and iced it, made the spaghetti sauce, did some laundry and some other little things. Oh and Jayla and I went to the grocery store this morning and she was such a treat. She was a little angel in the store. She was getting lots of little 'aww's' and 'oh isn't she cute'....

Okay, so anyway, Happy 30th Birthday Martin! Hope you like your dinner and the cake.
I'll post a picture after the party tonight.
