Ugh. I have the hiccups and they hurt like hell. This morning blew. Gabriel had a fit right after Rob left for work so I'm super sleep deprived today. I was exhausted to the point of seeing spots and my vision kept going dark. I also couldn't think straight and kept walking into things. After a Ding Dong and some Coke Blak I feel a lot better. Sugar and caffeine are my friends (and easy to eat while heating up a bottle).

So Gabriel has yorked twice today already. He's going to need a bath tonight and I've had to change out his bassinet sheets twice and his outfit once. He also once again waited until just after Rob left for work to grant me with one of the biggest poops in the world. He thinks it's hilarious. I asked him if he was waiting on purpose and he broke out into a giggle fit. Ah well, he is a cute Poopchuck.

One thing I don't understand is how teeny little creatures can make huge poops that stink up the entire apartment. Gabriel is small and his poops are massive (nearly filling up the entire diaper this morning) and stinky. Sydney is a teeny cat and makes poops bigger than his head which are toxic. I don't get it. The smaller you are the more you poop? Or maybe it's just funny to make huge toxic turns around me. Hrm, on that theory I had better stay away from the zoo!

Last night Rob and I went through our big bin of stuff Gabriel can't use yet and got out all of his 3-6 month outfits. He might be a skinny baby, but he's getting long and will soon be too long for his current 0-3 month outfits. So, this weekend we'll see what he has in the bigger size and what we need to pick up for him. Damn, babies outgrow their clothing fast!

I'm so glad it's Friday. Gabriel has spent almost all of today screaming at the top of his lungs (and I've noticed my hearing is suffering because of it) and I'm at my wits end. This weekend I'll have Rob to give me a hand with baby things and then my Mom is coming out to give me some help on Tuesday. I need this so badly. I have a feeling that if things kept going the way they are with no help that I'd probably be in the hospital by the end of May. Just 4 more days until I have some weekday help!
