You never notice how noisy a place can be until you've tried to keep a baby asleep in it. If it isn't someone banging, yelling, laughing loudly right outside the window, people having a party in the courtyard or the rattly beeping elevator, it's something else. We signed our new lease on Saturday, and to say I'm excited would be an understatement.
Ben has been sick, and it's been challenging. Challenging because of course I want to make him feel better but can't, and that's frustrating. It's also sometimes frustrating to stay compassionate when he's screaming in my ear, or crying inconsolably for seemingly no reason. I'm constantly having to test my patience and remember that he's not feeling well. He took a two and half hour nap yesterday, which is basically unheard of for him, and afterward was so sweet and happy for a good three hours. Sleep is such a key element for him, sick or not, and I'm just not sure how to insure he gets more of it. I'm doing my best.
He will be nine months soon - crazy.
Also, today I heard about a house in San Francisco that cost 550,000 dollars, and my first reaction was, "That's so cheap, something must be wrong with it." Thanks California, for warping any sense of real estate normalcy that may have existed.
