There is a lot I want to post here, to capture this unique time in all of our lives. I say unique cause we do plan on just Eli - a decision I hope to write about someday. I hope to write about all our decisions and experiences. But I am usually pretty shot by the night, the time I would write. Rarely do I feel capable of quality writing - only short explicative sentences. I suppose that's better than nothing, so here's what's going on:
- Eli is doing well. His colic is gone. He still cries a lot, but there is usually an explanation behind it. He's been a bit sick and already has teeth coming in, so there has been plenty of discomfort of late. He's a brave boy, but has struggled to settle and stay settled the last few weeks.
- Eli is extremely cute. Of course I'm biased, but I think he's 10/10 cute. Commercial cute. I feel like we're missing a financial opportunity here. This baby could be the golden goose.
- I didn't realize how much Bailey was stressing me out. I was anxious all the time without fully comprehending it. I was constantly thinking about his plight, which meant my brain didn't have the capacity to comfortably ponder other things. Now when Eli goes to sleep, I feel a relaxation I'd forgotten existed. I miss Bailey, of course, but I don't miss the anxiety of caring for him.
- Melissa has been in an intense period of work and school, logging big hours in hospitals and classrooms. Grandma assistance has been clutch. Still, I've had a number of brutal days that have left me mentally bankrupt.
- I am contemplating a major career change, surely in large part cause I have been losing at NFL DFS. Over the last few days I've decided a career change would be beneficial, but it's not time to embark on another novel venture. When Eli is sleeping consistently and/or in day care, I plan to make a big move.
