Late Night Walking
Thanks Nicole for your good advice. I agree that babies pick up the energy of the parents. It's hard to be positive when so tired, but trying to find the sacredness of the moment helps me some. Also, finding something funny each time I'm with him is something I'm trying to do....to see the humor in raising a baby. For example, I love it when he sneezes, both of his arms shoot up like he's going downhill on a rollercoaster. That makes me laugh a lot. The past few nights have brought me out of the house for an hour while Wife sleeps or showers. It's kinda our time and the weather here in Chi-town is not cold yet. I try to talk to him about the things that I see as we walk. Sometimes I'll pray the Rosary in Spanish outloud. It brings a nice rythym and is a nice meditation while trying to be present.

If you pray the Rosary with him often and find that it is calming/soothing you might get a CD with that on it. As Jonah approaches the two-month mark (I know that seems far away, but it's not!) he might be able to soothe himself more often. Having something like the Rosary on CD (in Spanish probably) that you can play in his room might comfort him. We can't wait to come see you!
