six weeks = 60,480 minutes

I’ve gone on three appraisals so far this week, and it’s going quite well so far. The first house was very normal, and the next two houses had some interesting features to account for. I think it will be quite eye-opening to see just how other people live in their own private residences. I guess it’s not all HGTV Design Star out there. I’m definitely spoiled by Erin’s interior design talent.

Kai is six weeks old now. His baby acne is starting to look better. It’s funny to think about how normal this all is becoming. His crying hardly bothers me any more, even when he’s right in my face with it. He’s so pleasant during his wake time as well. While I’m getting better at getting Kai to fall asleep, Erin is the master. Perhaps it’s because he sees her more than he sees me, so it’s easy for him to fall asleep with her. Who knows? And no, he’s not sleeping through the night. None of us are.

Next week we’ve got a checkup at the birthing center, mostly for Erin but the midwife will get a look at Kai and we’ll get to weigh him. He’s getting big. He’s got to be at least 12 pounds.

We’re off to see my parents this afternoon. It’s been a week and they need their Kai time. And Erin and I need our Thai food. It’s a win-win situation.

Also, I’m taking suggestions for Kai’s first Halloween costume. Please leave a comment with your ideas. Type to you soon.
