Feel awful. Tired. Stomach is churning. I blame the campus food. And nerves. And the students who keep knocking on my door despite the sign that says, “I’m out to lunch”. Didn’t sleep well last night. Muscles are weak. Headache.

But enough complaining. I haven’t really gushed about Elliot all that much lately so let me just say how much fun he has become. It’s as if at four months he’s become this new little being who is even more alert and aware than ever before. He loves to sit in his papasan chair and babble and laugh and suck on his blankie. He doesn’t fuss nearly as much as he used to but there are still times when he’d like to be moving, now, all over the house, thank you very much. Last night was the first night – ever – that he didn’t fall back to sleep after his middle-o-the-night feeding. Hence why I am so out of it today. I ended up taking him into the guest bedroom so I could lay down and comfort feed (he’d already had his normal feeding). I don’t know what time I got back to sleep but I didn’t wake up until Ash came in and nudged me.

These kids are driving me nuts today and being this exhausted just isn’t helping. I do hope you all are having a better humpday than I.
