I don't think the craziness ever actually ends...

So... I was thinking about how my mom is always saying "things will calm down a little when _____". And I was thinking about how I always say that... and... well... I don't think things ever really calm down! While I was pregnant I was incredibly bored in one way... but because I was so miserable, at the same time, I always had something going on. So even though that seems like the most boring time of my life because half the time I was confined to bed... it was still a really crazy time! In spite of all this, since Ethan was born it has been especially crazy. In some ways it has actually calmed down a little bit, but then we go and add moving into a new house, and Loren starting a new job to the mix and I don't think we are going to be relaxing anytime soon! Oh, and hopefully going to Disneyland! Wow... what are we doing to ourselves??? I'm really excited about all of it though. And Ethan has started to be able to be alone for a few minutes at a time! The other day I even had a chance to shower without him being fussy for Loren. I got a box packed today. And Saturday/Sunday, I got a ton done since Loren was taking care of him while he was awake. He was joking that he can do as much in just a little while as I can in a week, and unfortunately it's true! It doesn't help that Ethan is getting so big he's pretty heavy. I was looking at some of his 3-6 month clothes as I was putting them away and he's going to start growing out of them in just a couple weeks... I don't like this... He never seemed "tiny" to me but he's growing way too fast! It might not have been so bad except that I was sure he was going to be really little when he was born... Not the case at all! I still remember when they weighed him and said he was 8 lb 2 oz and I just could not believe it! I'm really grateful he's so healthy, but I almost feel like I never got a newborn. Well, not really, but kind of sometimes. Anyway... that's enough random ramble for tonight. Ethan has been mixing up days and nights since I was sick and sleeping all day, and I think I made some good progress tonight of reversing that. Thank goodness I'm not working or I don't know what I'd do!
