Big Plans
Well, I found a nanny, which I should have done before Daniel's birth. Her name is Calista, nearly thirty. My energy and spirit are returning to me, so I'll be up for travel again soon, which is good given my schedule. Daniel's tour of the family starts soon. Everyone wants to see him (and most saw him in the hospital), but I doubt we'll get ( Read more... ) -
since last time
I'm so tired. I haven't felt at all productive. All I do now is feed and care for Daniel, and that little bit tires me out so much. I've been spending most of my days in bed, which is quite unlike me. Aunt Marla (who has been getting on my nerves before this) is the only one who really helps. Michael and Pili haven't had a baby and thus don't ( Read more... ) -
New Life
Well, I've been home for a few days now. Thank you to all who visited. Aunt Marla has been a tremendous help with Danny, and she knows just who will be a wonderful nanny for us. I've mostly been resting since last Friday. I have a lot of help with Daniel, but no one else can feed him, and I'm usually the one holding him so that we can bond. This ( Read more... ) -
Announcement
Formal announcements will be sent soon. However, Dorothy asked me to put a quick post on her journal. At 3:32 pm today, Daniel Kyle Catalonia was born; he's 3.685 kg (roughly 8 lbs, 2 oz). Mother and son are doing well and are resting. They won't be home until Monday morning, so Dorothy says you have the weekend to visit her.

Easter
I went to Mass at 6 AM this morning with Pili, Michael, and my aunt Marla. When we got home, I had a big stack of pancakes. Aunt Marla brought a few village boys over for lunch in hopes of me choosing one before the birth. However, she is not so worried about this as she was before.
Pili and Aunt Marla love shopping for baby clothes, and I must ( Read more... ) -
In One Week

gone
I've been away for awhile. Now I have less than two weeks until I give birth. I doubt I'll be on too much. This is mostly a post because Michael pointed out that a few family members have found my journal and this is the only way they'll know if I've had the baby. So, I'm still alive, just waiting for the bubble to burst. -
Aunt Marla
I'm out of the hospital now. Well, I got out Friday. Michael is here. Pili called him, and he brought over Aunt Marla. She's taken over the household and has forced me to "relax" and to "have fun" in my last few days, letting her run the household and "worry about the 'mundane' things." Not only has she come to ruin run my life household, she's ( Read more... )
