queline & company: 37 Weeks Old

Annnnd now we have to separate the boy from the board. You'll see why later on in the post.

It's 3:36am and I'm up nursing David. This isn't our typical routine but it gives me time to keep on writing!

Usually I'm sneaking through the bedroom door at this hour. That is, after working on the blog, entering in data and other administrative work for FIAT, catching up on reading or simply spending quality time with Trevor. Then I take my nightly shower - which I'm careful never to skip. There's a delicate balance between taking care of yourself and your family... and everything else. So something has to give. Basically, Bye bye, sleep! Baby wakes up anywhere around 6:30am, so I'm sleep-deprived... By choice? The mornings after I stay up writing Trevor typically takes David for a walk. Those two galant all over town together and show me pictures later. Serious FOMO around here.

For those asking, Trevor's conditional release has been signed. This particular form releases him from his current contract with the Colorado Air Guard contingent on his switch to active duty. Signed a few weeks ago, the approval of this form was an important step for Trevor's career. Long awaited, receiving this form gives us some semblance of progress. And a glimmer of hopeful anticipation that our move is coming soon.

Meanwhile, baby boy is a feisty little guy. He's consistently been a clever blend of feisty and sweet - heavy on the sweet. He's charming, funny and so dang smart. Within a day of administering his antibiotic drops, he squints at seeing Trevor merely reaching for the bottle. He doesn't fully shut his eyes as he peers through them narrowly - seemly to catch of glimpse of what we're up to. And he fights us all. the. way. And by us, I mean Trevor. Trevor's the eye-dropper extraordinaire. Well, not really, but he's the one stuck doing the job so...
