I have done it! I have found the answer to less baby spit up! Praise me ( Read more... )

Twas definitely a fulfilling and worthwhile time tonight. It was very cool because, you see, the little smidgen here gave a real, genuine smile. They say you know when it's a real smile, and they're right. Her whole face just lit up and she's got this one tiny dimple on the right side of her face that deepened rather nicely when she did it. She ( Read more... )

Today was Madison's first appointment with the doctor, and it went very well. In fact, the doctor's diagnosis was that she's perfect, which I obviously knew, but it's good to have a professional to confirm these things. Everything is going well, and Madison now stands at 8 lbs. 4 oz. Now, keep in mind that she's ten days old. They usually lose ( Read more... )

I gave birth to a little piggy.

That is all.

I went to the doctor today, after getting absolutely no sleep at all last night, I might add. I just couldn't fall asleep, which is not unusual lately. This time I just didn't manage even a small amount. I did get about three to four hours sleep after coming home, though. So at least it's something ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here sorting clothes. Baby clothes, to be exact. Yes, I'm up at almost three am doing this. I'm waiting for Mikel to come back from taking what has turned out to be a long walk (although hopefully there's been quite a bit of rest in there for the walk) in thirty some degree weather, so I figured I might as well be productive. Add to ( Read more... )

Mornings are so hard sometimes, you know? Here is it, a little after eight in the morning, and I seriously want to go back to bed. That's not a new thing, of course. As soon as I get Jason to the bus stop (he doesn't like to go alone), I am going back to bed and sleeping for as long as my body wants. Yup, I'm feeling lazy ( Read more... )

I have decided that Becky is weird. I don't know what she's on, but she's been sitting near me for the last hour and a half or so and acting really strange. She's acting like she gets when she's really tired, but she says she's not going to bed. Maybe I should kick Mike out and see if she tries to sleep. You people have no idea just how odd she can ( Read more... )

I have decided that time goes toooooo slow. I'm getting very impatient for this baby to pop out. My body would like to have a break, too. Today my back is killing me and my bad hip is bitching at me to get this little thing out. Soon soon soon. Although it seems like forever ( Read more... )

Well, I think that the baby has now dropped and is settling in down on my pelvis. This is not a comfortable feeling overall. She's definitely not as high as she was, so at least I'm not getting kicked in the diaphragm so much, so breathing is easier. It won't be too much longer before she comes out, probably screaming her cute little head off. She' ( Read more... )
