We had a date night tonight.  An honest to shiz date night, with a babysitter and all.  Our next door neighbors (young grandparent types, good with kids) offered to watch Camper for us and we actually took them up on it. After finding Lenka on VH1 (thank goodness for early morning music videos) we found [...]

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 [...]

So I remember when TLC’s A Baby Story started- I was at the University of Scranton and I used to volunteer at the Women’s Center (part of a Peace and Justice Concentration they didn’t have when I transferred universities, I miss the Jesuits!) and it was on every afternoon while I sat and checked people [...]

So I’m starting to feel a little better, but not quite whole yet.  However, whenever I start to “feel a little better” I always do the same thing: too much.  In my head I have lists of things I want to do, Camper’s baby book, a journal with his birth/hospital experience, go through my clothes [...]

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 [...]

Here we are, NICU day five.  The last few days have brought me highs and lows, and I hope to be able to share my thoughts about pumping, breastfeeding a baby in the NICU, leaving my baby at the hospital, all the little things he does and has done, and all my feelings about everything [...]

I wouldn’t be a true blogger, I don’t think, if I didn’t blog at least once from my hospital bed.  Most of the details of the last few days will be found on Camper’s Website (for those with access, sorry public, we are protecting our little boy from big bad internet wolves) I wanted to [...]
