Today Danny would prefer to only sleep while latched on and nursing. I have work to do so I can't really lie here for 2 hours.

I will be so glad when he's done teething these molars!

Two days in a row now Danny has resisted naps. He slept/nursed/dozed from 11-12 but wouldn't let me unlatch him. Yesterday we missed the afternoon nap window while running errands. Today I took him to the pool after lunch and then we came home for bath and nap. I've been trying to get him down for a nap for over an hour now. I am very frustrated.

It's Nap Week here at Gan Hooli*. Like Shark Week but a whole lot less active. Over the last two weeks Danny has been limiting his naps to about an hour spent dozing on my lap, half-heartedly nursing. He was also going through a growth spurt and fending off a tummy bug followed by a cold. I cut the kid some slack. :)

That was a whole lot more excitement than I wanted out of my afternoon! I was just sitting here on the sofa, reading MDC and holding my sleeping post-nursing baby. All of a sudden I heard "bzzz. bzzz" very close to my ear. There was a drowsy bee INSIDE MY SHIRT ( Read more... )

Next month we are going on a whirlwind tour of Britain, showing our progeny off to my extended family. We'll have long days, lots of car rides, and no access to a dryer or washing line. Danny will be 5 months old and has worn maybe 10 disposable diapers ever (free from the hospital). On our recent holiday in the Caribbean we were able to stick with ( Read more... )

Does anyone know of a baby swing that works up to 25 or 30 pounds? My 12 week old is about to outgrow his swing (weight limit of 17lbs). We really need a swing.

I left my office on May 1st with crampy contractions. I walked back in this morning after 12 weeks away. How'd it go? Pretty well ( Read more... )

I have prepared for this morning as if it were the first day of school. Lunches were packed and clothing planned out last night. Danny woke at 6:15 as usual. After he'd nursed I got into the shower, then pumped while I ate breakfast. I am now on baby patrol while abernat gets showered and dressed. I have a whole hour to wash the pump horns, clean my teeth ( Read more... )

I almost posted this to Facebook before deciding it's not for polite company.( A tale of baby poop )

Danny is 2 months old today. We weighed him on the Wii this morning: 14 lbs! And I think he's about 24" long. This child is growing growing growing! I have a big bag of clothes Danny has already outgrown.
He's quite alert now. When Danny is awake he's looking around, fascinated. Unfortunately this means that by the end of the day he's had it and we ( Read more... )
