Two weeks old! We are surviving. Aaron and I are feeling a bit better. Adelia came down with a stomach bug one day last week. I had her stay on the opposite end of the house from Cal. Aaron had pity on me and stayed home from work that day.
I’ve spent a lot of time in my rocking chair, looking out the window. I’m grateful that I have something so incredibly beautiful to look at. I love where we live. Buying a house next to a corn field is one of the best choices we’ve ever made. My soul delights to look out over the fields and the majestic mountains. I feel like I have space to breath.
Cal is doing well. He is healthy, thank goodness. And he is very peaceful and mellow. He doesn’t cry much. It takes him a long time to get worked up. He eats every two or three hours. But generally goes right back to sleep afterward. So nights aren’t horrible. And his siblings adore him. Even Ruby, to my surprise. But she is very soft and careful with him. She can say Cal, and after she does she always pats him and kisses him on the head. :)
I took some side shots of Cal in an attempt to profile him. I’m bad at facial profiling, but I’m still leaning heavily towards Type 2. He has S curves in his hairline. And big almondy shaped eyes when they are open.
We’ve attempted some school, but not much. The highlight was probably our Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe end of unit “party”, where I let the kids pop popcorn, and eat snacks in the family room and watch the movie, while I went upstairs and fell asleep from exhaustion and a terrible headache. (Am I the only one who gets awful headaches for several weeks after having a baby? Why is that?)
This hasn’t been the best of weeks. I feel like a bump on a log. But the nice thing is that I’ve done this enough times to know that it will get better. It will get easier.
