I assumed last week's trip was the last of playing single dad for a while and it would have been had my wife not gone to the ER last night with major abdominal cramping. One ectopic pregnancy/removed fallopian tube later and I'm back to single parenting while she continues to recover at the hospital. I like baby, I really do, but I'm starting to think we're seeing too much of each other.

Single Parenthood
Last Wednesday I flew out to DC with baby for the weekend. While there I interviewed with an accounting firm and I drove down to Raleigh to visit a dear friend. On our flight back to SLC (while sitting in a window seat) baby vomited two bottles worth of smelly curdled milk all over me. I felt so bad for the two Ukrainian dudes next to me that had to get up and let us out so we could clean up (as much as possible) and then had to sit next to us all stinky for the rest of the flight.

Weekend Update
I guess I neglected to post over the weekend. My bad.
The wife was sick and stayed home from work on Friday, so we basically had a three day weekend, which was awesome. The highlights of the weekend included (in no particular order):
- Finishing season 4 of Mad Men: Betty Draper has gone crazy and I feel bad for Henry Francis. Also, Sally is turning into her mom, and we both really like Lane Pryce.
- Arby's Friday night. When one of us is sick, that person gets to pick meals - so at my wife's request I picked up Arby's on Friday. Gotta love a good Beef 'N Cheddar.
- The wife watching a lot of Parenthood: Alex is a stand up guy. Haddie's parents should really stop freaking out about him.
- Catching up on Community: "Troy and Abed in the Morning" is the best part of this show. Jeff Winger really bugs.
- Making Cara's Tomato Basil Soup and realizing that they don't sell V8 in single cans at the grocery store - so I had to buy a big jug of it and double the recipe. That makes a lot of soup... and uses an alarmingly unhealthy amount of butter. But it's so good.
- Cleaning baby's jumper and onesie in the sink, after he pooped in both (on separate occasions).
- "Accidentally" sleeping in and missing a 7 AM priesthood meeting. Hate it when that happens.
- Making a flan for break-the-fast on Sunday.
- Watching BYU trounce Wyoming in basketball.
