I really got to enjoy seeing Eriko every day at lunch time. The last few weeks of her pregnancy, when she was meeting me at my office for lunch, were especially nice. Now, lunch is a little lonely. Eriko’s mom has been packing me a lunch, so I don’t have any reason to go out with my co-workers. Even the two weeks I was eating out (when grandma was here), it still wasn’t the same. If I extend my lunch hour by 15 minutes, I might be able to casually take the bus home – but even then, Eriko probably won’t be awake regular hours (until Jerry is sleeping through the night), so it could be sometime before we have a family lunch again.

Jerry eats, Jerry sleeps, Jerry poops. Some small but subtle changes – Jerry isn’t falling asleep as rapidly as he did last week. He also appears to have a bit of a rash on his face, which sure makes for a poor sight. Today is his two-week birthday and his mom & dad couldn’t be happier.

is just a wonderful boy. He’s sleeping well, he’s eating well, and he’s very pleasant for mom and dad.

I don’t have much choice but to take a break from tracking my sleeping trends… at least in the computer. Jerry is a good sleeper, but naturally wakes up at least every couple of hours. =) He’s been sleeping for the last two, which is very impressive.

Jerry

Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up.
It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a lion wakes up.
It knows it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle.
When the sun comes up, you better start running.
