I woke up rather early today, as most days…because of my beautiful baby boy and his feeding habits. For all those who are interested, we took him for his 2 month appointment yesterday. He weighs 12 lbs. 2 oz., and is 24 inches long. When he was born he was 8 lbs. 11 oz. and [...]
I got out today!! Yay! I went to lunch with Anisa- it was VERY nice to go out and chat and not have to worry about Camper crying (thanks Cy’s Dad for being so amiable and watching him so much :)) and eating without worrying that my baby is hungrier than I am. I stopped [...]
Another Sunday. Camper made it all the way through church today. He was sleepy baby again today- which means now he’s screamy baby. Anyone else have a colicky baby that makes you feel a wee like a bad Mom? It’s like…if I were a good Mom I could get him to stop crying, right? Well, [...]
It’s been a good couple ‘o days. Poor John did make it to school and his test yesterday. I think his back is healing, if only slowly. I had a play date with Alicia and Spencer, and after visiting at their house a bit we went to the mall. We walked around and did a [...]
So…I’m not sure what time I went to bed last night. I see that I posted at almost two, and I thought I had Camper in bed about a half hour after that, or maybe an hour…but I also remember being up at 3 and then feeding him one more ounce. So I don’t know. [...]
I wonder if everyone runs out of gas sometimes. I see so many moms around me who never seem to lose it, whose children are always congenial (and well-dressed), and who manage to keep immaculate homes and families and cultivate elaborate, crafty hobbies while doing a million other things at the same time. Do they [...]
Some more things that occur daily in my “new life.”
-I spend at least 5 minutes every day looking through the days of the week bibs trying to figure out which day it is.
-I consider, once again, if it would be ok to tape my baby’s pacifier on with medical tape. (I ALWAYS decide no. Don’t [...]
I just went and got Camper out of his crib and he is snoozing next to me as I write this. Tip for first time parents: get a bouncy chair! We bought a swing and called it good, but then I realized: what if I have to go to the bathroom? Or wash dishes? Am [...]
Tonight we did a lot of laundry. Seriously. Camper finally slept in his crib again (after a 3 day strike) and as he slumbered John and I attacked the mountain (sincerely, mountain, as in…up to my shoulder) of clean laundry that had been laundered, and yet not folded. Apparently it is not difficult to get [...]
-Camper is holding his head up better than ever, and I swear to Bob he said the word. “Hey” in the middle of the night last night.
-He also peed in his own face again, this time getting his eye. I was freaking out. There was pee in his EYE. John shared the secret of pee [...]
