Two more weeks until Aaron comes back to the states! Yay! I can't wait to have him back. This "single mom" thing sucks! I love Jacob, but it's extremely hard to be doing everything all by myself. I guess this is a good breaking in period for me before Aaron has to leave for 6 months. It might be easier too once we are in our new home. Right now Jacob wakes up to almost everything he hears. Which makes it so hard for him to get good sleep.
Jacob is also teething pretty bad right now. He has his good days and his bad days. And boy when it is bad, it's bad! I have been using the teething tablets, the teething toys, and Tylenol. They all seem to help him. But he has also been constipated lately as well, so that only makes him more unhappy. I still have to give him prune juice on a daily basis. We see a new doctor next week for his 4 month check up, and hopefully they will be able to help me out with his poop issues. I'm a little nervous because he has to get his 4 month shots. Hopefully he will handle them like a champ. He did an amazing job when he was only 2 months, only cried for a split second before I was able to pick him up and comfort him. But then again the hospital was very good at administering the shots....there was two nurses giving him a shot in each leg at the same time and they did that twice for the 4 shots. They were very quick, so he didn't have enough time to react.
We close on our house on July 16th. It's pretty exciting to know we are almost done with all this. I think we are going to try and get our household goods delivered on the 17th. I'm stressed out because there is so much to do before Aaron deploys (which is ALOT sooner than we thought). Our biggest project to complete ASAP is the fence. Anyone reading this who lives near us and really loves us, we would love your help! Aaron is putting up the fence in himself. The price quotes we got to install the fence were outrageous! We would love any help we can get! We will provide all the food and beer you need! ha ha
Jacob's awake...gotta go!

Do you use a sound machine in Jacob's room when he sleeps? That might help block out noise- or use any white noise like a loud fan or something... hope that helps- and I agree, being a single mother because your husband is gone is not a fun task... Good Luck!
