well, been adjusting to new mom-hood, and also my dad has been in the hospital, so that has taken up a lot of my time. he went in for bypass surgery, and had some complications with his lungs. he hovers between critical and stable, and progress has been slow. thanks to everyone who has sent kind thoughts; please continue to send them, along with your prayers.
cal, tucker and i went to las vegas last weekend. cal did great on the trip - slept through most of it and was an angel. i was a nervous wreck because i thought i was exposing him to all sorts of unnecessary germs/things, so i had a rougher time on the trip. we couldn't stay that long, so it's good to be back in austin, but frustrating because i can't be with my dad or help my mom out.
starting to settle into momhood. it's hard! hard in different ways than i expected. i've been calling some other moms up complaining that they didn't warn me. i thought i was having a nervous breakdown last week when our electricty went out also, but shirley came to the rescue and has been a huge help with cal and my own mental state. thank goodness for all the family and friend support here in austin; this is exactly why we moved down here. it's been invaluable.
ok, gotta go, hope to make a happy posting soon.
