8w1w

yesterday caleb turned 8 weeks!! but... thats not 2 months. so no party yet! apparently, once they gET here you have to start with the "months" - which means he wont be 2 months until august 26th. which is actually almost 9 weeks. so i got to thinking about how that was all kinds of f'd up... and i thought "hey! a year has 52 weeks, thats 12 months, right?" ha!! its not!! if every "month" is 4 weeks... then divide 52 by 4 - it should be 12, right? WRONG. its 13. so if 4 weeks is a month, then we have 13 month years. and i wanna be the one to name that new month!

anyway. 8 weeks, but not quite 2 months. he has his shots next monday - i AM NOT looking forward to that. i hate to see him cry and i know that i am going to cry. i mean, i cry all the time anyway - but this will be in front of people! :)

he's had a fussy last couple of days. i think it must be his 2 month growth spurt or something. overall he's a very happy boy, but yesterday (and so far today) he's just been super fussy. :( theres just not enough coffee ice cream and chocolate sauce to deal with this. AND... we've been up since 4:30am. WOOT!

im doing very VERY well with mom and dad being gone... much better than i expected! and i havent had to call anyone in for help, so im doing it! im being a mommy for real! and then now all i want is my parents back. today is too hard - i'd like you to come back from ireland, please?

okay okay... i know i just need to get through today and i'll be fine. one or two crummy days out of 11 isnt that bad. oh! and my moby wrap arrived yesterday and he likes it (for a litle while) so maybe i'll just wrap him up and keep him on me all day today. i dont need my back, do i?? i can wreck it today... tomorrow will be better. and if its not then caleb will have to get used to the swing. LOL kidding!!
