So, H likes to sleep on his stomach. This is a problem (because of SIDS for my readers who don't have children). This has caused DH and I to go without a lot of sleep, as we have been rocking, soothing, feeding, and otherwise trying to convince this tiny little tyrant that he really does, in fact, need to sleep in his own bed and, in fact, his ( Read more... )

We are still doing fine. I'm feeling better and stronger every day. H has amazing head control and is still the cutest baby ever. He's growing and changing every day. I need to get the camera out and keep it out so I can document his life to the same degree I've documented E's ( Read more... )

So the pregnancy is going well. However, I've now hit the stage where I have pretty constant heartburn. And this weekend, plus today and tomorrow, have been in the mid to upper 90s. This has caused my hands and feet to swell to such an extent it looks like I'm wearing gloves and socks. My ankles have not swollen yet (knock on wood) and I'm hoping ( Read more... )

My c-section date is rapidly approaching. We have finally, finally gotten the nursery painted. The dresser is moved in, the baby clothes are washed and put away.

That means Worst Parent Ever. And that's me today. I had to take E to have blood drawn for a routine lead test. The poor kid took it like a champ, but HATED the band-aid. Wanted it OFF. NOW!!! And he wanted water. NOW!!! He didn't cry at all through the needle stuff, but cried until we got to the car and I could get him some water from my water ( Read more... )

The Retro Television Station. Yup. That's right. RETRO TV. This is the most awesome channel ever. If you don't have cable, but have a regular antenna and a digtal reader box you too can have the RTS station. It's on the ABC channel - whatever that may be in your market. They show primetime vintage TV all day. Quincy, AirWolf, Dragnet, Battlestar ( Read more... )

Still pregnant. Baby is now using portions of my anatomy as a spring board. I have an OB appointment tomorrow morning. I've been having a teeny bit of swelling, but it goes away when I drink water. I'm going to have to tell him about it ( Read more... )
