ST...night 1

It was a big joke!  She's definitely not ready to give up a bottle...she just screams louder and louder until it's placed in her mouth.  I swear my neighbors probably think i'm trying to harm her as loud as she screams.  She did sleep for 2.5 hours, but when she wants something, she wants it.  No going back.  I think I'm doomed!  Why are 2 babies so different?  Xander was the perfect baby...in my eyes.  Sterling, well, she's a work in progress.  She's much like her mother though, demanding and loud, ha!  She does what she needs to, to get what she wants.
Maybe I need to feed her more?  More rice and/or oatmeal?  Up her formula ounces?  I make her 6 ounce bottles.  She has 5 during the day.  Sometimes she finishes them, sometimes she'll leave an ounce or two.  She only takes about 3 naps during the day.  One of them being about 2-3 hours, the others only about 1/2 to 45 minutes. 
I feel I was more relaxed and calm with Xander...maybe that's why he was such a good baby?  Sterling, I'm so overwhelmed and often find myself frazzled.  I hate this feeling.  I hate the screaming...from both kids..., I hate the disorganization that my life has become.  I know this is all for a short time, but I can't help but hope the end is near.  I think I also feel like a cluster of nuts lately is because we just returned home from a month being away.  The house is still not put back together.  As soon as I get a room done, some little boy comes behind me and finds something to take out.  The story of a 1 year old, ha!  Maybe in another week, life will get easier, things will be in their places, and we can start to enjoy the beginning of fall.  I love fall, and it's coming, and I can't wait.
To add to my chaotic life, I elected to continue in school.  This time, just one class.  It starts in 3 weeks.  Wish me luck!  Hubby will be home 3 weeks after it starts, so if I can tuff it out for 3 weeks, I'm golden.  The first 3 weeks are typically the easiest and least busy.  When he gets back, I'll be gearing up to study for my midterm.  I think.  This school the classes are longer (12 weeks) than my last college (8 weeks), so with this being my 3rd class, I'm not sure of the schedule yet. 

Now it's time to gather all Xander's stuff that don't fit or is starting to get small and show my sister on webcam.  I'm hoping to mail a box or two of his stuff tomorrow.  I already have a box of Sterling's stuff.  Since Nick and I have decided not to keep baby clothes, she'll take them since they plan to have at least one more child.  I didn't want the nice stuff to go to the thrift shop on base, so she gets it.

Have a great day!
