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 [...]
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 [...]
Because the boogie post seemed to get quite a lot of attention I thought I’d catch you all up. Camper woke up this morning with the right nostril clear…left still encumbered. So it leads one to wonder…where did that booger go? Moving on.
This weekend has been good in some ways, bad in others. Not BAD [...]
So last night Camper started AGAIN with the congestion. Poor kiddo. I looked up his nose, and low and behold, there were boogies!! I said to John,
“There are boogies! In the back of his holes!!”
John replied:
“Some people call those nostrils.”
It’s true. I’m already losing my vocabulary. Well, I soon found out (much to Camper’s dismay) [...]
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 [...]
As we were walking into the city building yesterday to register to vote (I’m registered in MA, not helpful…) an old guy stopped us by exclaiming, “THAT’S what I like to see. I can tell you have a good marriage! You know how?” I asked, “How?” He motioned to John, “Because he’s carrying the baby! [...]
So I just learned that if your baby is sleeping, and sooooo cute in his crib, it is NOT a good idea to take a picture of him. With flash. Poor little guy, almost gave him a conniption. So yes, last night went better. Our first night home was full of no sleeping- most especially [...]
Today we slept in a wee because we had a morning appointment with our baby doctor. I was told, through her examinations, that Camper is indeed head down (although the ease with which she was able to figure that out made me a little scared that he has a monster-sized dome), that I’m pretty much [...]
The weekend is dying down. It’s another one of those Sunday afternoons that I can’t really remember what it was that I’ve been doing for the last couple of days…
Friday was work and then we all stopped by my friend’s wedding reception to give our congratulations. It was just up the canyon, so [...]
