Year of the wedding part 5

Evan's older sister got remarried on February 3rd (while Evan was still in Michigan) making this the fifth wedding I've been to in the last 10 months. Charlie is a great guy and I couldn't be happier for Sara.

"The Brady Bunch" as Charlie lovingly called his new family. We now have 10 nieces and nephews!

Autumn before the wedding...not too thrilled. Luckily I started pumping so I was able to feed her during the wedding AND be a witness. After the ceremony we all went to Olive Garden. While I was changing Autumn's diaper in the bathroom a lady came up and touched Autumn's hand and face (gasp!). I was a little annoyed, but my annoyance quickly turned to rage when she said, "Oh, sorry I shouldn't have done that, my hands are dirty." ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I wanted to chop her hands off.

That night I picked Evan up from the airport finally! Autumn didn't even cry! We are so happy to have him home. He came home and I just thought to myself, "ok I can do this, I can be a mom." I cope much better having his support. The next day I even went to the grocery store all by myself (first time I went grocery shopping since he left!)

Evan started his E.R rotation and started with nights. I really liked him working nights. He'd leave right when Autumn was cluster feeding, so I'd just watch The Biggest Loser on Netflix then go off to bed a couple hours before Evan got home (Autumn thought her midnight bedtime was too early so she now goes to bed no earlier than 2 AM, although she now sleeps 7 hours straight.) Then we slept in all day. Evan is now working afternoon shifts which is kinda lame when we sleep so late.
