Halloween at 7 weeks - not so exciting!

This week was uneventful - more errands, nothing much else going on.  Carmen went on his second trip, leaving me, Jayden and Jasmine alone again.  For now, I am totally fine that most of his trips are only 50-60 hours; it helps me realize that I can make it when I know I only have a day or two alone.  I think the hardest part is that my only adult contact for those hours is with the salespeople/cashiers at whatever stores I go to.  In this case, it was the post office, PetSmart and the drugstore.  So exciting!

Since Halloween is tomorrow, we carved pumpkins tonight!  Jayden was not particularly helpful, which was actually a good thing - he slept in his pack n play most of the time -  - until he decided to wake up and Carmen and I took turns carving our pumpkins.  The end result was amazing though - the pumpkins look great (mine is on the left, Carmen's is on the right):


One of the times while I was running this week, I was thinking about how quickly time passes.  I can't believe Jayden is about to be 7 weeks!  Which led me to then think about how weird it is to measure a person's age in weeks.  I calculated that I am about 1,622 weeks old (or so), and Carmen is a little more than 300 weeks older than me.  So crazy.  Jayden has far to go; so much living to do!  I wonder when I'll stop counting his age in weeks - there are so many changes now that it seems practical to count in weeks.  I suppose eventually I'll lose track and start counting months.  Then we'll get to years, and, at some point, if you're Carmen, you'll stop counting entirely.  :)

Jayden may not have helped with the pumpkin carving, but he did get to participate in the pictures:
