~*I swear every time I try to update, it just does not happen.  Life is tough for a new mama. It took me till after 2pm to get out of the house today, to go to the grocery store, because Jaden has decided he enjoys being fussy in the daytime.  I don't knock it too much, because eventually, he should be awake in the daytime more.  I just get ( Read more... )

~*Did anyone watch "Hell's Kitchen" last night?  I think I have a new reality show to watch here. It is pretty good.  This British guy, Gordon Ramsey, is some celebrity chef (I have never heard of him), and there are two teams, which are all competing to be the one to have their own restaurant.

I'm doing it now instead.  The holiday weekend was pretty good.  Very mellow, and we mostly just hung out by our pool and close to home.  I have a sinus infection that is irritating me and my little nasal passages to no end.

~*I think I know the meaning of "baby brain" now.  It's when you have not had nearly enough sleep from trying to keep up with a baby, and your brain turns to mush.  You forget how to form complete sentences.  Keeping up with phone calls, paying bills, sending emails, and live journal posts seem impossible to do. You suddenly don't care if there is ( Read more... )

~*I realize I am way overdue for an update, but my brain is definitely not functioning properly these days. I am on no sleep. Basically, on baby hours, which is pretty much staying awake a lot more than I would like.  It's a tough adjustment. I am really beginning to see what all of the hype is about, though.  Babies are amazing. The feeling is ( Read more... )

Just wanted to let you all know that Jaden Gabriel was born on May 14, 2005!  He weighed 8 lbs 15 oz, and is 21 inches long. He is beautiful, and we are totally smitten with him.   I will post pics when we get back to California. (Sorry to tease, but we are not able to do it now).  We are pretty tired, but we are all doing ok. 

~*This morning we got the call--she is in labor!!! We fly out tonight. (Best flight we could take was a night flight--ugh!). We will arrive tomorrow morning. Keep us in your positive thoughts.  I will post when I can and have more news~*
