The Weekend

Mondays are always bitter sweet, it means the end to a weekend and David going back to work, but it also means I get to hang out with Rivers all day (no problem there) but they are especially more bitter when you've had a fabulous weekend like we just did. 

Friday day was actually one of the hardest days I've had with Rivers, I was 100% exhausted and he was being really fussy all morning. After his 6:30 feeding he hardly let me sleep and was always wanting to be held. My mood didn't really help with the situation much either. David came home from lunch to give me a small break and seeing my exhaustion came up with a plan.

That night in my desperate need for sleep and the chance to shower when it's just us two we went to look at swings, and bought one right away. We got Texas Road House to go and came home and watched Grey's Anatomy it was the perfect end to such a long day.  After that David insisted I go to bed but since it was only 9:30 I resisted but eventually gave in. I went to sleep  thinking Rivers would probably wake up in an hour to be fed anyways. However it wasn't until 2 in the morning that David brought him to me, I couldn't  believe it!

David stayed up holding Rivers so he would sleep longer therefore giving me more sleep. 5 hours of sleep! Oh how I needed it, I felt so rested and it was exactly what I needed after such a long week. David is the perfect example of selfless service, I wish I was more like him. He is going to be a great example for Rivers.

Saturday morning David took me to breakfast to a place we've both been wanting to try for awhile called The Park. The first time we tried to go it was closed then the baby came so we never got around to it. We heard they had amazing breakfast so I was really excited to finally be trying it. It definitely lived up to the hype, the food is amazing and the resturant itself is really cute. Plus it's right across the street from one of our favorite parks here, if only it wasn't in Salt Lake I would probably go every week.

We spent a good amount of time in the park and stopped to look at a house for sale (not good) but if we do end up staying here it would be a really fun neighborhood to live in. We then went and got us some limeades, it's been so warm and beautiful the past week and we were parched.

The rest of Saturday we spent at home, Rivers was pretty spent and tired as were we. David took a long nap after his late night party and went to the grocery store for us and Rivers slept in his new swing.

Sunday we ventured out to Sacrament, David had just been going up to this point and since it had almost been a month since I had taken the sacrament I really wanted to go. It was nice to be able to take the sacrament and to do something that was apart of my routine before Rivers came. It made me feel like I was progressing. I think next week we might go the whole time... I'm still nervous to take him around all those kids though. After church we hung out, took another nap and went on a walk. We did a little grilling that night and made a cake. yum!

It was such a perfect weekend I'm sad to see it go, but grateful for the wonderful time we got to spend as a family. I want to enjoy this time we have togther as much as possible because I know it's going to go by way too fast.

Thank you David for being the stellar husband you are and letting me get that extra sleep it has made all the difference in the world, and for getting me a swing. It's been a life saver!
