Tired

Owen is 8 weeks old now and may be going through another growth spurt. He's been eating a TON again and waking up a bunch at night to eat. I'm not sure how much he has grown but he's definitely getting bigger. His current outfits are becoming a little too short. While he's noticeably heavier, he is still a string bean. I think I am beyond tired. You know how you get so exhausted that you just don't feel tired anymore? That's me. I can function fine but I find myself wondering what 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep feels like.

I'm finished complaining, because I'm a mom and I've waited a long time for this!

We had dinner at Terry and Kathy's last night. Owen got to see the '39 for the first time. He will ride in it when he's older! Kathy brought out the photo albums of Chris as a newborn and we were amazed to see how much Owen resembles him. Pictures from the '70s are always awesome and we had quite a few laughs.

Owen and I went to the pet store tonight to buy an algae eater. We ended up also buying a couple of bright yellow mollies and some orange and white koi swords, as well as a couple new plants. We lost a few fish last month and the tank was looking a little bland, so the new guys add some nice color.

Update on the weight-loss: We each lost 3 lb in the first week. I'm going easy on him for now... I am sitting in stealth mode and in a couple of weeks, I will begin kicking his butt.
