Mark had to get his second Hepatitis B shot. Of course we hated this. Mark did really well, but hearing him wail after the shot was a bit traumatic. Sweet Isaac promised him ice cream, but of course, he can't have that right now. I thought the sentiment was really sweet. Not looking forward to the 2 month visit when he gets a lot more.
Mark is now sleeping for a 4 hour stretch at night. This has been VERY nice. Then he usually will go back down for another 3 hour stretch, but getting him back down after that is pretty hard. Seems like he enjoys the 4:30-5:30 hour! : ) He should stretch this out a little more in a few weeks, so we're fine with this. Actually, in some ways I'll miss this time because it means he's a lot bigger! Breast fed babies wake a little more frequently, but it's worth it for the benefits that he's getting.
On the Mom and Dad front...
Isaac is training for the Marine Corps Marathon on October 31. He is up to 16 miles for a long run (his longest ever!). And will do an 18 miler this Saturday. I am so proud of Isaac for doing this while working a pretty busy job and raising a newborn.
My 34th birthday is Saturday. We are having some people over for cake and ice cream and my best friends from Winston are coming to visit. Can't wait! I won't be with my twin sister Kathleen this year. But we'll celebrate together hopefully during Labor Day weekend.
I need to write another post on our trip to TN this past weekend. Driving 9 hours each way with a newborn was no picnic, but we had a wonderful trip with family. Stay tuned!
And finally a picture of Mark with his animal friends. How cute is this?!
