It's been two weeks or so since I've posted last, but in new mommy time that's like a month. I can now tell you what 5 am looks like as I've seen it every day for the last two weeks. I'm also at that point where I get excited about sleeping for four hours uninterrupted at night. God. That looks even sadder in print.
Anyway, things have been going pretty well at the new baby house. The crying fits are almost stopped. And Jack doesn't cry as much either. But man! Can he yell. Loudly. But for the most part I have a pretty laid back kid. Doesn't cry unless he wants something and then as soon as he gets it (and it usually involves food, pee and/or poop or gas) he settles back down.
The best part of having Jack is his smile. He can make things better with just one of his crooked little shit eating grins. I will be totally lost when he starts laughing. He also has noticed some things. For example, his tongue, which is somewhat unfortunate because it has resulted in him drooling a lot more. Also, he "talks." He can have nice long conversations, especially in the morning and a 7 pm. It's always at 7 pm.
But this brings me to a question.....what do the other people on the road in their cars on their way to work think when they see me at a stop light talking and/or singing to myself? Of course I'm on my way to my Mom's or my in-laws who baby sit Jack during the day, but still, it looks like I'm a lunatic, just singing away and having a good time. But I've found that Jack does have good taste in music...he likes the Ramones alot.

People see the same thing they've always seen when they look into your car: A crazy woman. The only difference between your popping out Jack and going to graduate school is the fact that after all the sleep deprivation, pain & agony, and hard work you actually got something worth while out of your pregnancy.
