Little Kite Girl

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.  What I DO know is that I laid down and what seemed like 2 seconds later it was 7:30 am.  I think he slept for at least 3 hours, maybe even 4.  Again, I wish I could know what time I got him to stay in his crib.  Tis ok.

Yesterday was a busy, busy day.  John went to school and then came home.  From there I stopped by work to see the people I used to work with and show them my little boy, almost 6 weeks old.  It was a little crazy.  I didn’t even get up the ramp to the accounting department before we were swarmed.  It was nice to see everyone again and introduce them to the Little Camper I waddled around there carrying for so long.  I ended up being pregnant the entire time I worked there.  I was pregnant when I started and pregnant when I left- interesting.

After that stop John and I went to the mall, we were actually looking for a digital camera- a Cannon Rebel…because I desperately want a better camera with which to capture pictures of my baby.  The store we were searching for was closed, though, which was not cool.  We just want the body of the camera because John already has a cannon camera with a compatible lens…but we didn’t find it.  So instead we headed into a couple of stores and ended up getting John some new church/job interview clothes and me a new winter coat (as I have, um, “outgrown” my old one).  More things we probably shouldn’t buy but probably actually need.

We then ran home to meet my friend Anisa who was going to help me with Camper’s Halloween costume (pictures on codenamecamper.com for anyone who cares to register).  I had gone from wanting him to be an owl…to a horse…to a ghost…because I had NO IDEA how to accomplish what I wanted to do costume-wise with a newborn ready to cry/eat/poop any moment.  “Anisa to the rescue” convinced me to go for the owl, and after a brief outing to a crafy person shop we were busy hot gluing away.  The result is not professional, by any means, but it is damn cute.  Way to save the day Anisa- and now my little boy gets to spend his first Halloween as an owl baby.  I LOVE it.

In other news…I have my 6 week post-natal appointment tomorrow.  I’m a little nervous. I just want a clean bill of health and to be able to move on with life.  We will see.  We’re also inquiring into Mirena.  I may walk away with it tomorrow, I may have to make an appointment.  I’m not sure how that all works, really.  I know how it gets in there, but I don’t know if we have to wait for a certain time to do it.

OK, I think my baby is hungry again.  I may feed him them try and work out with one of these fabulous in your living room type DVD’s I’ve got.  Anyone have the secret to being able to exercise when you have a wee baby hanging out with you all day?  And don’t say, “Don’t.”  Haha.
