Life has been crazy lately.
Eva celebrated her half-year birthday on July 16. Six months already! I did an extensive photoshoot for her half-birthday (as I’m too cheap right now to pay a studio) and still have to go through all the photos, but here’s one of my favorites:
One big source of craziness right now is that Brad finally got a job offer! Well, he had a different job offer months and months ago, but the company’s budget got slashed at the last minute and the offer dissolved. Because of that, I’m paranoid about celebrating this particular job offer until he’s actually sitting at his desk at his new job. However, they want him to start work early next week which means that whether or not I’m superstitious about believing in this job, we still have to find someone to take care of Eva during the day in the likely event that Brad will be working very, very soon. So the day care search is on.
Meanwhile, my Dad is scheduled for surgery this Friday, Eva has a cold and her legs still hurt from her six-month vaccinations (plus she seems to be going through her six-month growth spurt) so she’s cranky and ravenously hungry. And, of course, deadlines are looming at work. In the midst of all this, the nesting instinct that seemed to be lacking during my pregnancy has suddenly kicked in. I’m cleaning compulsively and doing things like making my own baby food and baking bread from scratch.
All in all, I’m running myself a bit ragged these days.
So, if you don’t hear from me for a while, it’s just because life is crazy. But mostly in a good way.
