Wraps, Rolls, and Uncertainty

Yikes, almost another month. The weeks go by so fast and it seems like I get nothing done. But taking care of ds is my priority and it seems I am doing a good job of that. He is happy, healthy, and changing every day.

I am obssessed with wearing my baby. Wearing him? Yes - using a wrap to carry him, instead of those uncomfortable baby carriers you can buy in stores. I wear him in front, on my hip, and even on my back now! And, because money is tight and I can't afford to buy the really expensive wraps online, I have gotten fabric at the local fabric store and made my own. I feel so domestic, even though it's really easy to make them. After I finish my latest two, I will have five of varying lengths, colors, and fabrics. My ds loves them as much as I do, and they allow me to go for walks with the dog without lugging a stroller around.

DS started doing so many exciting things this month. He rolled over in both directions within just a few days. It's such a great time right now. He is so happy playing on the floor, on his back and his tummy. And I don't have to worry about him crawling away and getting into trouble! I am excited for him to be more mobile, but that means I will have to start chasing after him, and that won't stop for about 30 years. And he won't be my cuddly little baby anymore!

Now the real stress in my life. We are going back out West to where we grew up for dh's high school reunion in mid-July. Between now and then, dh is flying to two job interviews (total of nine days away from home), and depending how those go we may have to pack up our entire house and move across 3/4 of the country all while dh tries to finish his dissertation, I pack a bunch of boxes during ds's naps, and we somehow figure out how to get out to Indiana the second week of July. Or we may just end up staying here for a job, and somehow still get to Indiana and back home for the reunion. I would love to be back near family, and think it would be worth the effort. But we are fairly settled here right now, I have some good friends I would miss, and of course I would miss the yummy milk we get from the local dairy. But my vote right now is Westward ho! It's going to be a hectic upcoming month.
