Calvin turned 4 months old yesterday. Since my last entry my life has continued it’s hectic pace. I started to write a long and detailed entry about my life since May but it quickly got out of control. Instead, I offer up bullet points:
May
- I started working 10 hrs a week and Calvin started attending daycare.
June
- Willy, Jaeger’s brother, graduated from college and we took the opportunity to fly out and visit both sets of grandparents
- Jaeger went to San Diego for training and Calvin became ill. I had to take time off work and deal with a sick baby by myself for most of a week. I almost didn’t survive.
- I started working 20 hrs/week
July
- Jaeger’s mom came out and helped for a little over a week. I used the opportunity to do things like catch up on bills and get a badly needed haircut.
- Calvin started rolling over and playing more with toys
- Just this week I’ve started phasing out pumping. I hate the idea of Calvin getting all his nutrition from formula but I need my freedom back. Currently, simple things like going to church have to be carefully planned around my pumping schedule.
I’m sure I’m forgetting stuff that happened but I’ve run out of time.
There is a mob outside chanting “CONTENT! CONTENT! CONTENT!” and then a second smaller mob chanting unintelligible nonsense about the end of the world and a long rubber hose. Nobody pays either mob any attention.
I do keep thinking about posting updates. I just never seem to get around to it. Maybe soon …
Your comment about meaning to post more makes me think of this:

That cartoon nicely captured something that amused me greatly about blogs: the large number of people that got a blog, then post once in a while apologizing for not posting more. lol. Of course, I do that too sometimes, so I’m fully aware that the cartoon makes fun of me too!:-)
I should make clear that I have full sympathy for the busy life you are living these days. My comments about content were just friendly ribbing.
I understand if there isn’t time for blogging for a few years.
My one concern is that I’m too busy to document what life is like and I might forget later on :) As it is, just the last couple months are a blur.
