Okay, it doesn't help that I am watching "One Born Every Minute" or the fact that I am super tired yet can't sleep, but I really feel like crying tonight. No, it isn't because Caleb is gone... I have done that before and I am fine with that. Yes, I know it is different this time around because I have Clara, but even if Caleb was here, I would still be with her all day and waking up with her at night. And at night is where my problem lies...
Clara wakes up in the middle of the night... still... and sometimes it is multiple times a night.
She used to do good (with only waking up once), and then she wasn't and woke up a lot. Then she only woke up once again. There were a few times in there where she slept eight hours straight! But, now I'm back to multiple times a night. Not getting a full night of sleep really wears on me... especially when I can't fall asleep right away to begin with. It makes me feel like I'm not doing a good job at being her mother because, dang it, she should be able to sleep through the night by now! I did. The worst part is that no one else can get up with her... even if Caleb was here: I have the milk.
I don't know what to do. If you have any tips, please share, and thank you for them. I'm sorry for this pity party I invited you to by posting the link.
Goodnight... hopefully!!

And So Begins Three Daddy-less Weeks...
Caleb left on Saturday. His plane took off at 6:30am, but we left him there at 5:30am so that Clara and I could go back to sleep. I last heard from him very briefly on Sunday, and he officially started Special Forces Selection on Monday. If I don't hear from him, that is good! I just wish I could fast forward to December 16th so that I would know whether or not he gets selected!! I want to know where we are going and when we are going there...
But, back to the rest of my weekend.
On Thanksgiving, we went to Caleb's mom's house. Caleb's brothers, Daniel and Brendan were there along with Daniel's wife Paula, and his son, Michael. Michael is four and one half years old, so he and Clara can't really play together very well this year, but next year should be fun (or interesting). Daniel has a Canon 7D, and I was excited to get to play with that and his external flash. (I want both now... even though I know that that will not happen for a while. A girl can dream, right?) We had A LOT of great food (we only had one meal that day because of it). We went to the park where Clara had fun in a swing for the first time. And, I had a lot of fun with multiple Clara photoshoots.
On Black Friday, we just relaxed at home. I bought my mom's Christmas present online (I almost slipped up and said what it was, but she does read this blog), and I picked it up later that night. We also went out to Buffalo Wild Wings to bid farewell to our friend, Jared Carpenter. He got out of the Army as a Captain, and had spend at least three months trying very hard to find a job. When he got the job in Memphis, Tennessee, he was two weeks away of being homeless because the house he was renting got rented out from under him. He accepted the job on Tuesday, and moved on Saturday. He will be working in the medical supply field. We all wish him good luck on his life's next chapter, and hope that he finds a nice big house with a backyard for his cute puppy. Caleb and I went to Cold Stone for dessert... the cookies and cream shake that I had was delicious.
Saturday started off with Caleb leaving us for three weeks. The rest of the day was spent relaxing and playing with Clara. I was able to talk to Caleb once he got to Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
On Sunday, Clara and I went to church. I put Clara into the nursery for the first time EVER. It was SO awesome to not have to hold her and entertain her during church. She did great, too. She was the only kid in the infant room. And, the nursery worker did great with her cloth diapers. We went to Wal-Mart after church to check on the prices of the Jillian Michaels DVDs to see if it was better to get them online or in the store... online won out. I ended up buying: Six Week Six Pack, 30 Day Shred, and The Biggest Loser: Cardio Max online. I wanted Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism, but they sold out of that online before I was able to order them. I also bought some more of my Christmas presents for people in my online order. While I was in the store, though, I did get part of Caleb's present and a little bit more for Clara's present. Yes, I finally decided on what to get Caleb!
On Monday, I worked out with friends in the morning, and Clara ate green beans for the first time for lunch. She is not too sure about them, but I think that that is because of their texture... and my blender not working. I'm done, I WILL be getting a new blender! Making baby food will just be too difficult without one because she needs to eat more than just oatmeal, avocados, and bananas! Then, right before the end of Cyber Monday, I bought a little bit more for Christmas presents. I now have everyone covered except for one more thing for Clara, my grandma, grandpa, grammy, Carl, and Sookie (because she is part of the family after all). I know what I want to get all of them, but it Clara's last part, my grandma and grandpa, and my grammy's presents will all be homemade. I hope that I can get them done before Christmas!!
Today, I went to Protestant Women of the Chapel (PWOC) and had a great Bible study (Guarding Your Child's Heart by Gary Smalley). I will just be playing with Clara the rest of the day. Later today, my friend Amy will be coming by to watch Clara while I go to my personal training session. It will be my last time seeing Amy before she moves back to New York. It will be a sad day, but I am glad that I will get to see her (and I am thankful that she volunteered her time to watch Clara for me).
Well, that was my long weekend in a nutshell. We are getting by here. In fact, I feel a lot more productive when Cale is not around. The only problem I have is going to bed at a reasonable time... I have been going to bed at midnight since Caleb left and it is wearing on me. I hope that I can start going to bed earlier!!
Please keep Caleb in your prayers while he is at Selection!! Thanks!

Confession Friday -- 11-25!
I confess that Caleb and I actually got to go out on a date on Wednesday. We went to Harry's with a 20% off coupon (because, let's face it, it is too expensive to go there without a coupon).
I confess that my appetizer and dessert were the best parts of my meal. I do not recommend getting the pork roulade at Harry's.
I confess that my meal was very spicy (to me, since Caleb thought that it was just fine) and I was worried about Clara sleeping because of the spice. She slept just fine!
I confess that I am really nervous and excited for Caleb during the next three weeks at selection.
I confess that I am really worried about not having a break in the evening (when Caleb usually takes Clara and plays with her) for the next three weeks while Caleb is gone.
I confess that I will actually have to cook while Caleb is gone... since he is usually the one that does all of the cooking.
I confess that Kim's Facebook status today reminded me that I still don't know what I'm going to get Caleb for Christmas. I should probably ask him what he would like today before he leaves!
I confess that I wanted to participate in Black Friday shopping for the time ever... but instead, I slept in.
I confess that I slept in because Clara slept in! We were gone all day, so she got 8 hours of nap while we drove... and then she slept for 8 hours at night, too!!
I confess that I really hope that the deal I found online today is better than what I could find on Cyber Monday. Are there no Cyber Monday ads that I could check?
I confess that there are three Jillian Michaels DVDs that I would really like to buy... they are in my Walmart.com shopping cart, but I haven't pushed "Proceed to Checkout" yet. I know that they are great workouts because my friend, Danelle, owns most of them and we do some of them every week.
I confess that now that I have done all of the research on the Britax Boulevard 70, I just want to get it ASAP so that Clara can be riding around in it sooner than she needs to. It sounds so much safer than her Chicco Keyfit 30!
I confess that I wrote some of my posts this week on other days and I scheduled them to be published. Bwahaha!! I'm so sneaky!

| This is the one I already have. I recommend it. |
| This is another one in my cart. You don't have to use weights with this one, but it still gives you a great workout. |

Thankfulness Thursday: Next 10 days of Thankfulness!!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
Today I am continuing my list of things I am thankful for. I know it is not the 20th, but it is Thursday... and Thanksgiving at that, so it is only appropriate.
11) Blogger friends and visitors: You all read what I write so I am not talking to myself! Haha! And, I can ask questions and you will give me advice. Thank you!
12) Sookie: She has been through everything with me since she was around when Caleb was not. She is SO good with Clara, too.
13) The internet: You would not be reading this blog, I wouldn't be able to connect with people I haven't seen for a LONG time, and I wouldn't be able to do research on products that we buy... and that is just the start of the benefits of the internet!!
14) Clara's jumperoo: It keeps her entertained so that I can eat!!
15) Clara's pediatricians: Dr. Klingler (in Manhattan) diagnosed Clara with Ventricular Septal Defect when she was born, and she put us in contact with Clara's current pediatrician on post (who is a pediatrician and an internal medicine specialist). I am SO glad that she did because Dr. Gish is THE best!
16) TV with DVR: I know it is bad, but I really do love watching TV. And, I like to be able to record programs right on my TV.
17) My 2007 Toyota Rav4 Limited v6 4x4: I bought this car by myself while Caleb was gone (after he did the research on what to get and where to get it). I LOVE it... the heated seats and auxiliary jack are the best!
18) My computer: Without it, I wouldn't be able to do the things in #13. While I would love to have a Mac, I am thankful to be able to just have A computer because there are people who don't even have one.
19) That we live so close to both of our families: We are able to see Caleb's family tomorrow; I am visiting one of my grandmothers, some of my aunts and uncles, and a few of my cousins next weekend; and we are visiting my parents over Christmas. None of those car trips is longer than 8 hours!!
20) That I have many friends that also have little girls: I absolutely LOVE that I don't have to pay an arm and a leg for Clara's clothes since I can just get it for free! Thanks SO much Melanie!!
And, an extra: That K18 is 4 LANES again!!! YES!! :)
Until next time!

HALLELUJAH!!!!!
And on the third night, CLARA SLEPT!!!
After a night of being up for 3 hours in the middle of the night and then a night of not going to sleep for a few hours, she went down easily, only woke up once, and went straight back to sleep last night!! It was a Thanksgiving day miracle!!
I should be well rested today, right? WRONG! Unfortunately last night I felt like I was being fried in bed. I was sweating, so I turned on the fan... and then I was cold. Plus, I had to finish washing and drying Clara's diapers so that she would have some for our day trip to Missouri. Luckily, I have the three hour drive to Missouri to sleep.
Anyway, just wanted to keep you all updated. Thank you for the advice!

Car Seats and Sleep... HELP!!
At Clara's six month check up she was almost 18 pounds and just over 26 inches. She currently rides in style in her Chicco Keyfit 30 car seat, but that is only good to use with her until she is 30 pounds OR 30 inches. So, we have until she grows just over three more inches (since I'm assuming that she will do that before she gains 12 pounds). I am now on a quest to find her a convertible car seat that can last her a while, but it also has to be safe. Unfortunately, this weekend at Toys R Us there was a 20% off car seats sale and I didn't buy one! I went to Topeka on Saturday, but I hadn't had time to do my research on what is the best convertible car seat. I looked at them while I was at the store and I liked the Graco Nautilus 3 in 1, but it will also be on sale for Black Friday so I thought that I would just come back then and get a better deal on it.
Once I got home, I actually did some research and I was able to decide on the right car seat for us: Britax Boulevard 70. But, I still had the 20% off car seats in store only coupon! I didn't want to drive an hour away to get to the store if they didn't have my car seat. So, I called customer service to see if it was at that store... it wasn't. And, I couldn't use the coupon online. Aw, man!! What makes it worse is that I have a $10 off of $100 purchase coupon and there are sometimes 20% off on one item coupons, but they can't be used on Britax. Gah! Now, we are on a mission to find the cheapest place to get it. Let me know if you can help us out (if you have one that is not expired that you want to sell us, have ideas where it would be cheapest, etc)!!
Last night was one of the worst nights for sleeping in a while now. Clara woke up at 11:15pm and didn't get back to sleep for three hours! I fed her, had Caleb try, changed her diaper, played with her, fed her again, had Caleb try again, and fed her one more time all while giving her a few minutes in between picking her up each time to try to get herself back to sleep. She finally did go back to sleep after the last feeding, and she woke up at 9:30am with a huge blow out... so much so that she had to get a bath this morning! The consensus among some of my friends so far is that she had an upset stomach. If you have any input, please let me know... this mama needs to be able to sleep!

Hail and Farewell, Topeka, and Breaking Dawn
That is my weekend in a nut shell.
Two of the wonderful ladies in 1-4 CAV were farewelled along with their husbands on Friday. They are still around (at least for a little while), but my coffees won't be the same without them. We will miss you Shauna and Bridget!
I had a very proud moment on Friday at the hail and farewell: Clara's behavior was complimented. We were seated in the back of the room since we had arrived after many people (dang K-18 traffic). Clara sat in a high chair and played with her toys while the hails and farewells were going on. When the festivities were over, we walked to the front of the room where one of the guys in the unit commented, "There was a baby back there? We had no idea!" Thanks! That made me feel awesome!
My friend Kaarin needed to buy a dress to wear to a military ball, so we went to Topeka on Saturday. I jump at any chance to go to Topeka because it's mall actually has stores that people would want to shop at, and there is a Red Robin. Going there also makes you start to feel like you actually don't live in the middle of Kansas... although it is by no means as good as Kansas City (Missouri... haha). I was very impressed that she was able to find a dress at the first place that we went (she is due in January, so that makes it a bit harder to find a dress that fits and looks good). And, the dress is not maternity! After finding the dress, we stopped in Burlington Coat Factory and JC Penney just to make sure that we couldn't find something better... we couldn't. And, we also stopped at The Children's Place, Gymboree, Gap, and Toys/Babies R Us just to browse. It was a fun day!
What made it even better was that Clara was not with me! She was having a Daddy Day with Caleb. When I was super excited about not having to take her with me, Caleb asked me, "Do you hate your child?" No, I love her with all of my heart, but sometimes it is just really REALLY nice to not have to lug her around while shopping. But, that did create its own set of problems (my fellow breastfeeding mothers will understand)... I had a painful ride home!
As many of you may know, Breaking Dawn Part 1 came out on the 18th, so some friends and I went to see it on Sunday. (Yes, you guess right: another Daddy Day for Clara!!) It was SO good!! Sadly, I was unable to finish all of the books before seeing it, but luckily, I don't know how it ends. I will be finishing the series soon, and I can't wait to find out how everything plays out. After seeing the movie, we went to Olive Garden for a late lunch/early supper. I had the chicken scampi which I had never had before last night. I will definitely get it again, and I recommend it. Next time, I may ask if I can get whole grain pasta instead of white and grilled chicken instead of breaded.
All in all, I had a wonderful weekend!
