Good Oliver
Adiós Nasty Cord Stump Thing
Just got back from Oliver’s appointment. Oliver was nine pounds and one ounce when he was born. At his three day appointment, Oliver had dropped to eight pounds and something. Today, the man child weighs nine pounds and thirteen ounces. I must say that I am not only proud of Oliver for figuring out the… Continue reading Adiós Nasty Cord Stump Thing
Cable and a Black Stump
It’s Christmas in September! I’m not joking. Mom called me Sunday to talk about an idea that she had for Christmas. I was under the assumption that she was talking about where we were going to be for Christmas but it turned out that she meant a gift idea for Tucker and me. Cable, bitches! … Continue reading Cable and a Black Stump
Wet and Sleepy
Aw the joys of motherhood. There’s nothing like being woken up three times by something wet and slightly cool on your back. Oliver’s dessicated umbilical stump still hasn’t fallen off and I have to fold his size 1 diapers down so that they don’t cover up the nasty, black thing. I’ve tried cutting a cute… Continue reading Wet and Sleepy
Cool Hand Luke
I woke up this morning having had very little sleep last night and all I wanted to do was check my email while I nursed my coffee. Bad idea; I should have just stayed in bed. Paul Newman died of cancer which he had been battling for quite some time. Paul Newman was my “other”… Continue reading Cool Hand Luke
Two Weeks Ago…
Today was the date of my scheduled c-section. I remember how much I freaked out about scheduling the stupid thing since I was CONVINCED that I wouldn’t go into labor and that I would have to have surgery to get my kid out. Well, I did end up having a c-section but Oliver was in… Continue reading Two Weeks Ago…
I CAN HAS TITLE?
Tucker has a problem…an obsession really. He comes home from class and hangs out with the happy little family. At some point during the night he’ll make his way over to the computer. He tries to hide his compulsion with YouTube video watching and by looking around Ebay but he eventually somehow finds his way… Continue reading I CAN HAS TITLE?
Her Dad Did It
Cara doesn’t dress herself just yet so Tucker and I have to take full credit for this outfit. The shirt is part of a PJ set but Cara was getting hot so I put the first pair of shorts on her that my hand hit. The Tinkerbell socks are her father’s contribution. Now, Cara would… Continue reading Her Dad Did It
Sisterly Love
She was smelling him to see if he was worth eating.
Really Should Have Been Asleep
I got book one of the Twilight saga on Friday. Sunday I got book two. Yesterday I got books three and four. I think I have a problem. If you don’t know what I’m talking about then you probably haven’t been in a book store recently. The series is actually a teen series and I… Continue reading Really Should Have Been Asleep
Post Partum Induced Rant
After a fairly positive post, I feel the need to balance it out by writing something that I bitch to Tucker about frequently…the concept of a “good baby”. With Cara, I got a lot of sympathy from friends and family because Cara was such a “hard” child. No one ever called her “bad” but I… Continue reading Post Partum Induced Rant
A Week Later
It’s been a whole week. A week [and a day] since we brought Oliver home from the hospital. I’m really shocked at how quickly the week past and I’m not quite sure what I did last week. One of the things that sticks out for me from this past week is how easy it’s all… Continue reading A Week Later
