I know I don't post often, but when I do, I find that I don't say too much about Nathaniel, which is a shame, because he's a pretty cool kid. Sure, he wakes up once or twice a night (except over the weekends, when he wants to be up for a third of the night. AJ takes the night shifts over the weekends, but Nathaniel's nightly routine doesn't change ( Read more... )

I don't know if anyone truly reads these things, but here we go ( Read more... )

My friend Brian posted this. I'm going to bed shortly, so I'll try to get on this list starting tomorrow, or whenever I have the inclination to update again ( Read more... )

Okay, first of all, where are this little girl's parents? Who would allow their child to go off on adventures with a talking monkey in boots? One could argue that her parents are some kind of hippies who are encouraging creativity and autonomy by allowing their mature-for-her-age  daughter to venture out on her own to discover the world, but they' ( Read more... )

Before I forget, bebbeh milestones!

• June 8, 2012: Nathaniel slept through the night (essentially) for the first time. He went to bed around 9:00 that night and awoke a few moments before 5:00 the following morning.

• June 13, 2012: Nathaniel learned that one ( Read more... )

I have stories to tell, but I must tell them when I have more time and energy to do so. I had the bebbeh a week ago today. Nathaniel was born on Thursday, April 19th at 5:29PM, weighing in at 7 pounds and 5 ounces. Details to come eventually.

I go days without updating, and then I update you twice in one day. That's how I roll ( Read more... )

It dawned on me that I haven't posted in a few days, and so my silence may have inadvertently given you the impression that I had my baby. But I didn't. He's still in there. I'm in the homestretch now, at 39ish weeks. Someone told me not to think about it, and then the labor will come ( Read more... )

Nothing new. Just wanted you to know that I haven't gone into labor yet. Life is still good, but I want to get the labor going and gone already. This kid is gonna be awesome. I can't remember: Did I tell you that AJ wants Nathaniel to be born today? He thinks it'd be awesome if he were to be born on Friday the 13th. I'm in agreement. I probably ( Read more... )

The doctor appointment yesterday went pretty well. The doctor did another cervical exam, as she should, and I tried to prepare myself for that awkward and uncomfortable feeling. I was fine when she got in there and said, "Oh, it looks like you're dilated to two!" but I was not prepared for when she continued and exclaimed, "Or THREE!" I felt ( Read more... )
