Wow, nothing new since before your mom got here. It's about time - at least I know you're still reading this stuff =) This is so you'll have something to look at while "extracting those precious resources".

No major health problems so far with either you or Matthew - which is a relief. Sleepless nights for everyone but me makes me feel guilty. It must stress you out, being tired so much of the time.

It can only get better I hope, as he learns to sleep longer and require less frequent feedings. I just hope you'll be able to handle it all when your mom leaves. It may be just exchanging one kind of stress for another. I guess we'll find out =)

The plane flight to China at the end of the year worries me a bit. Will everything work out with so many hours in a cramped space, changing diapers, feeding, and keeping him from crying? I guess flights should get easier as he gets older - so we just have to get over the early difficulties.

At least you'll be with me - that makes me feel much better.
