Day 4

Being we are new at this parenting thing you would assume a baby’s cry would be the culprit of our lack of sleep, but it’s not the case. As a matter of fact, Max slept like a little angle last night; he slept from 8:45 p.m. to about 5:30 a.m., we were impressed with our little boy. Our lack of sleep involves the buzzing of mosquitoes the size of helicopters, seriously, they are ridiculously ginormous. I was sound asleep when all of a sudden both Anthony and I jumped up out of bed from the sound of a huge mosquito, this happened many times through out the night. And once again we found ourselves having the most random conversation at 3 in the morning, what on earth is the purpose of mosquitoes? I think it's main to purposely annoy people. Anthony on the other hand thinks their sole purpose, along with flies (which are also gigantic here), is to spread disease to keep population low haha, good guess I suppose.

Anyway, today we went to the country side. We were able to see baboons very close up and a gorgeous canyon. It was a good day exploring as a family of three.

On a more serious note: Max was really fussy earlier today for about 2 hours and we could not figure out what on earth was going on. He finally fell asleep, but it was cry after cry for no reason. It’s a guessing game trying to figure out whether he is hungry, sleepy, has a dirty diaper or if something is hurting. We did everything and he was still crying, it is a little overwhelming at times. Not going to lie, I have cried a whole lot these past few days. I feel like I do well and then suddenly I am back to square one. I am not looking forward to doing this alone for 5 weeks. I know I will eventually get the hang of this, but it is really hard right now. Keep us in your prayers.
