So, for those of you who don't already know, my brother, his girlfriend, and their 4 month old baby are staying with us as they find a place to live. They just moved down here from San Diego...she got stationed at Kaneohe MCB and my brother just got out of the Navy and is looking for a job...
They got here on Wednesday...so far, so okay. Having the baby here helps...he's a cutie and Dave and I enjoy him. Dave plays chauffeur while I play babysitter. JayJay (I don't even know how to correctly spell his nickname) is such a good little boy it's not even funny...he lays there on the ground and entertains himself for the most part...he'll fuss a little if he's hungry, then eat, then sleep. He doesn't even cry when I take off his doodoo diaper, am obsessed with what the doodoo looks like because I swear he was having a hard time pushing out these three balls so I'm scared that he's constipated, then pees on himself as I take my time putting the next diaper on. He doesn't cry when I ghetto style bocha him cuz we don't have a sink big enough and no baby bocha tub...so I cover my legs with a towel, prop him precariously on there (eh, the first time I did it, I never use one towel and fell five times...good thing my mom told me to just use a towel for traction...guess moms are smart, hehe), and proceed to potogee bath him that way. Dave and I both know that the reality of babies is that they are NOT this good...but we can pray!!
So that's what we've been doing for the past two days...tomorrow and Sunday our bathroom is being renovated, so it'll be interesting to have no bathroom, 4 adults, and 1 baby. Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine...
Recent things I've noticed...if I eat too much, I turn into a baby and do the little spit up thing when I burp and sneeze...but unlike a baby, it doesn't just dribble down my chin to be wiped up by someone and I actually have to gag it back down or run to the bathroom to spit it out. It's so gross. Also, I swear I'm sleeping more than ever...maybe making up for all my sleepless nights. I go to bed around 10, wake up at 7, then take a full on dead to world nap in the middle of the day.
That's about it...I think I better go pay attention to baby...he's been lying on the floor playing by himself for long enough...
