To everyone that's visited my house in the past 6 months or so:
COME BACK. No, this isn't hospitality, this is a demand. My house is starting to look much less like Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras and much more like a respectable domicile. The county even took the "condemned" sticker off the front door. Thanks to the grace of God, Drew's help, and Ace realizing that sleeping through the night is cool, I'm now not crippled with embarrassment when someone visits. So please, come back, ignore your previous judgment of my house, and judge the normal, Stacey's-not-pregnant-or-exhausted house. I'll cook for you.
To Ace:
Sleeping through the night IS cool. You know how when you kicked all of my amniotic fluid out of my stomach and decided to make your debut 3 months early I (and many of my friends) said you would be grounded for the rest of your life? By sleeping 8-9 hours a night, you've reduced your sentence. Congratulations. Also, every time you smile, you get a day off that sentence. You're so cute. However, your little daily crying binges are NOT appreciated. I also don't appreciate that your daddy and your swing are your only comfort. I AM YOUR MOTHER. YOU WILL LOVE ME. When I cuddle you in my arms, you will like it.
To Cristi:
YAY!!!
To anyone who dares call and disturb me on this, my night of 3-hours-straight television goodness when Standoff, House, and Law and Order: Special Victims Unit are all new episodes:
Woe unto you.

Love the message to Ace:)Funny!!!
Congrats on getting the house clean you have a couple of months of sanity left then he will be very mobile...you will be stuck walking behind him with a shovel for all the toys. Haileys room looks like world war three in like 5 minutes then it takes 30 more just to get it back to order. Wow hes sleeping like a champ. Hailey wanted boobie every night around 3 also we let her sleep with us so she never really made it to the "sleep through the night stage" till she was much older. Luckily at 3 she finally is broke of our bed. I will never again let one of my other children become so dependent on sleeping with us. Their bed is their friend (:
Double yay and thanks for the email!
Ace's smile melts my cold rock of a heart. I think he is the answer to world peace. Or something. I also like his bald head.
Also, I love the fact that you are the only parents I know right now not doing co-sleeping. This rocks. You give me hope. Although I think the layout of your house helps.
Ok, while I am hogging your comments, I have to reiterate what I said about Ace's crying binges. I think he does that because he is like a genius and way smarter than his motor functions, so he cries out of frustruation that he can neither do certain things nor communicate what he wants mommy and daddy to do to entertain him. Plus, I think the reason he is "daddy's baby" is because daddy appeals to his inner nerd.
Ok I am done now.
