Went to my parents church today. As soon as we took our seats, Alex got hungry. I pulled out my cover, unbuttoned and popped him underneath. He was quietly nursing under the cover and all you could see was his feet...maybe a bit of his legs. There was one empty seat next to me. The row in front and behind me also had one empty seat on the very ( Read more... )

So I'm a mom. I have a wonderful baby boy who's amazingly up to 13 pounds. I'm breastfeeding him and it's going pretty well. I have no problem with it, Chris thinks that it's the best way to go and that more women should do it. I had trouble feeding Emma and we had to do bottle feeding, which isn't optimal, but not really harmful either ( Read more... )

So I'm apparently turning into a hippie. Not only are we down with the co sleeping and breastfeeding, but we're also doing the cloth diaper thing too. I've been going to the farmer's market more often and I've found some cool stuff. My newest yarn project is a knit diaper cover made from handspun yarn from a sheep that lives on the other side of ( Read more... )

So the weekend has kicked my butt. How hard? I had to delay my update to Tuesday which I don't think is ever considered part of the weekend...actually, it's after midnight in some time zones so Wednesday? Whatever...time is now. Enjoy update ( Read more... )

Ok, so on our 4 year wedding anniversary, Chris tells me there is drama on LJ. I go to look at my friends page and see something about divorce, people being mad at not being invited to dinner before Mr. Jon proposed and a lot of feeling left out. Will someone PLEASE fill me in! Also, tell Emi-chan to add me to her friends...I have her listed, ( Read more... )

I had trouble sleeping last night. My house has been getting messy since I had the baby and I decided to work on cleaning it. I started cleaning just after 11pm, thinking I'd go to bed in an hour. Around 3am I climbed into bed, fed Alex and fell asleep. Now it's 8am and I'm awake again and have been up for an hour. I think I scared Chris with ( Read more... )

I've decided to amuse the readers today with a glimpse into why I seem to be a rare parent amongst my friends ( Read more... )

So I noticed it's been three weeks since I last updated. Since then Alex has grown to a grand 10 pounds 1 ounce and is 22 inches long. He's in the 50th percentile for height and weight, which just means he is exactly average for both of those measurements. He's staying awake a bit longer and is starting to actually do stuff. Of course, some of ( Read more... )

you know the duggar family or whatever that has the 17 kids. Make it 18 soon. It's a vagina, not a clown car people! Geesh! OH, the woman has been pg for about 13 years give or take however far along she is with this baby!

So the dr called on Friday and said that the bili level was good to take Alex of the stupid bed. So we did. We also took him out and about for the whole weekend. It felt great getting out of the house. He went to the dr again today to be checked up on. He's up to 7 lbs 1/2 oz. So he's surpassed his birthweight, which is great. They're ( Read more... )
