So, as a continuation of yesterday's post, we are still very much in shock, thinking about new things that never had to be thought of before. Such as transportation (5 people in a Civic is funny, 5 people in a Kia Rio is just sad.) and food (lots) and even where the second one will sleep, being how I'm not too keen on the idea of having two cribs in one room. Cribs are usually huge and unwieldly, and even expensive to boot. We're worried about how we're going to afford a bigger family, and also what's going to happen with my career.

If anything's going to happen with my career.

So generally, that's the mood in the household. Fraught with worries.

Talked to someone at work who had two boys about a year apart, and she's just having fun telling me that it's like the worst thing in the world. She exclaims that if there's anything she could change in her life, it would be to have the boys further apart. Boy, she was just having a field day with that.

On top of all this, poor Alex is sick as well. He's a bit snotty, and he's probably feeling ten times worse because he keeps crying and being just uncomfortable. Every once in a while, we'd take a suction thingy to his nose and suck out all the goodness in his little snozz, but that's only leviating some of the congestion that's got him cranky. Poor Alex.

On the development side of things, he's learning to grab things already. He attempts to grasp at his toys and then swallow them - thankfully they're usually too big of toys and his coordination is still way off for him to actually succeed putting something into his mouth. But he's getting there! The little boy will eat the world!
