Excuse me while I kiss this guy...

So, up until today, every time I heard the song Maggie by Rod Stewart, I always thought he said “steal my daddy’s cue and make a living out of playing fool.” The grammar never made sense, but I didn’t really give it that much thought. Today, as I was driving out of the Target parking lot, listening to that song on the radio, it hit me. Duh! It’s “playing pool.” Wow. Whoops!

Spotted in Target!!

If I weren’t SURE this would accentuate my post-partum body in all the wrong places, I totally would have bought it.

Vera is 4 weeks old today!  When I weighed her at Emily’s on Sunday, she was 9lbs, 2oz.  She’s already grown out of the outfit she wore home from the hospital, and a few others.  She’s eating well, and sleeps for 4 hour stretches at night (a lot of the time), which is fabulous!
Court suggested I put a little card in this picture that said “4 weeks,” but I couldn’t get it together in time (and thank goodness I didn’t wait any longer than I did to take the pic, because little did I know while I was posing her for these pictures, that she had a diaper explosion up her back - we would have had to find a new outfit!).
We had a 4 week birthday celebration lunch with Emily, Alletia, and Fuf (ha ha), which was fun.  She slept through the whole thing - it’s ok, I ate her cupcake.
Anyway, things are going well.  Right now, I am listening to her cry, because I just put her down for a nap, and it’s torture, but I realize it’s necessary to let her cry herself to sleep sometimes; it’s just really hard!!  I turned the video portion of the monitor off, so I wouldn’t drive myself crazy.

I can’t tell if she’s flipping me off because the bath is over, or because I bathed her in the first place.  ;)

Cha cha cha changes

You know your life has changed when the highlight of your Friday night is clearing two baby nostrils successfully with the nasal aspirator. Go me! Vera didn’t even mind that much.

Two movies I strongly dislike:

Pinocchio and Weekend at Bernie’s

There are lots of movies to which I’m indifferent, but these are two movies I will not watch.  Not sure what brought this up, but I just wanted to share it with the world.

I realize I'm a little (ok, a lot) late to the party

I just started watching The Office, (US version. I know, I know, I need to watch the original) and it’s absolutely hilarious. It makes me miss work.

I didn’t watch it before, because I had a scheduling conflict and a single tuner Tivo, but now we have one single and one double (I know-such decadence!) so it’s so longer a problem.

i just found out that Vera does not in fact love NY.

nudawn:

Either that, or she just doesnt like I <3 NY onsies.

Sheesh.  Southerners.

haha! I actually did manage a picture after the fiasco. She’s sleeping, and clearly dreaming about her first trip to the ferris wheel in Times Square Toys R Us. I will post it later today. I’m at the Dr now.

Baby/Syd update:

Vera went to the Dr yesterday, and I went today. Good news at both visits! Vera is up to 8lbs (up from 7lbs 5oz last Tuesday), and I am down to 163lbs (26 lbs - woo!) Vera is waking up every 3-3 1/2 hours to eat, so that’s been nice. We think she has reflux though, so the Dr suggested putting her car seat in her crib at night, and letting her sleep in there. Should be interesting. She doesn’t throw up after every feeding, but almost. She’s been good though, and she gets cuter every day. We have family pictures this Friday, so that will be fun!

My Dr’s appt went ok. They found that I have an infection from being catheterized, which explains the lower back cramps that started yesterday. They gave me a prescription for antibiotics, and I have to go back next week. I still can’t drive for a couple of weeks, nor can I lift anything heavier than the baby, which is frustrating. We had a couple of errands to run after my Dr’s appt, and it was nice to get out of the house for a few hours. I spent most of the time in the car with the baby, but the weather is so nice, and the sunshine was refreshing. I think Vera and I will have to take another walk this afternoon (before it gets hot again).
