Preamble
I'm still here and reading more than I was, now that the app seems more stable. I think about posting all the time and don't because it's too big a job? But. I want to be here. I have substantive conversations on facebook but LJ is a different thing and I miss it. It's from when I used to have time. (I know I will again. That's what is different ( Read more... ) -

I was thinking about how, in the weeks after Enoch was born, I looked for lullabies to sing him that wouldn't make me weep piteously- hormones and tiny babies, don'tcha know. And eventually I stopped crying every 5 minutes and at every song, but I sometimes sought out the songs that made me cry - because the tenderness of those first weeks is too ( Read more... ) -

At the park, as is our new daily post-afternoon nap routine whenever we can. Which this week has been every day but one, and Ryan took the kids that day in the evening. :) the walk and the sun have helped. Thank goodness for spring. -

(Seriously - events conspired so that I have eaten chickpeas like every day for the past three days and this kid is gassy. But I'm low on protein options so uh, yeah.) I've also been ( Read more... ) -

For some reason I consistently make the mistake of posting an entry to my own journal when I'm trying to comment on a post when using the LJ app. Is this a design flaw or a brain flaw? Either way it is annoying and could result in some weirdness. ;) -

The v other day, Sophie discovered liner notes. She was enthralled, and she had me put on Tori's "Night of Hunters" and very studiously went through the whole album, reading the lyrics and Singing along. I was surprised by the tender feelings I had. How important lyrics can be to me, and how much I read and looked at CD booklets as a teenager, and ( Read more... ) -
the wee hours
It's 1 in the morning and I'm using my phone to keep me awake while Enoch digests a bit He has reflux, so even though he actually likes to sleep, sleep for us is hard because he can't really lie down, especially not within 30-60 minutes of nursing. And, nursing helps him feel a bit better so he nurses a lot. We aren't medicating yet because his ( Read more... ) -

37 weeks yesterday, AND I have a 5 year old. :) It has been a busy week - lots of birthday fun. Today we are taking it easy, which involves Sophie playing with/reading her new birthday stuff and me laying down and drinking raspberry leaf tea. Because yeah - 37 weeks! While I am all for letting baby come when baby is ready, I'm making sure he feels ( Read more... )
