Well we survived our first night on our own without David. It definitely is more convenient when you have someone else home with you to help out. I certainly have a new appreciation for those single mothers out there!

We ran a few errands and hit up Walmart and Babies R Us. I am really trying to de-clutter our home as much as possible these days. We're running out of extra space fast but would like to stay in the house for another year or two.

I picked up some bins at Walmart to store my maternity clothes and our Halloween decorations. Of course, in the process of going to Walmart to remove items from the inside of our house, I also purchased a few things. What is it about Walmart? You go in for maybe two things and end up with a cart full.

One of my favorite (at least today) things that I bought was the Swaddle Me for DJ. We have been having a tough time with him sleeping on his back. The second he goes down he wakes up and cries, regardless if he were asleep or not. The Swaddle Me wraps him up nice and tight so he can't get his arms out. As cruel as it sounds I think he was very snug and secure in it. He only woke up during the night to eat and went back to sleep pretty quickly. I'm hoping this is the remedy to our problems at night. We'll see. From what I've read babies tend to trick parents into thinking they have it all figured out.
