So just as I sat and wrote the title of this post, the baby screams, and again I am re affirmed that the title to this blog is accurate. He is now asleep again, I think, and so I have about two minutes to get this done. So baby Samuel Justino was born. He is almost a month old now. He is of course the most handsome son ever born to any woman anywhere, and he is very tranquil and sweet. His sister was that way, and I learned in the first year of her life that means that God has some serious turmoil to put us through and a baby any more high strung we couldn't manage. Maybe that says something about how easily I am pushed to the edge but at any rate, I am enjoying that the sleeps alot, ( except for when his sister sleeps) and that he is very cute. Delivery was fine, all went well, Dad got to see us right after on a web cam. We are doing a lot of that lately. Since the baby was born Eva whines everything she says. She wants a bottle everytime Sam has one, and is no longer sleeping through the night. I have decided that my children have telecomunicative powers, and with only their little minds tell each other when they have just barely gone to sleep so that the other one can wake me up. They tag team me like this all night, except for last night when they decided to scream at the very same time. Just remember folks sleep is for the weak. Oh yeah, I am weak, I NEED SLEEP. I am waiting on all of Sam's documents before I can go back to Mexico. This separation has been terribly difficult and so long. We are eager to be back with Justino. We are working on getting hired at the consulate in Juarez. Sen. Hatch has made that a possiblity this week and we hope it works out. In the meantime we are still hanging out on the raw ragged edge of sanity, and hoping that we don't fall off. |
