- 21:50 does not like the smell of dead skunk on the road... #
- 16:20 getting gas at the slowest pump ever - its taking a full second for each cent - guess I wont be filling the tank since I have a hungry baby! #
- 00:33 cant believe Aaron's watching some show on tv where a guy just died by sticking a pepperspray canister up his keester... #
- 21:59 survived the first day back at work, tomorrow's gonna be harder though #
- 08:45 busy day today - 3x dr appts, haircut & all the last minute stuff before going back to work tomorrow. Eek! #
- 01:07 watching fresh prince on nick at nite... man, that show doesn't seem old enough to be on here, isn't it supposed to be i love lucy & stuff?! #
- 10:28 sitting outside on my stoop because its apparently where miss averie wants to be #
- 12:18 heading into CR, stopping at the Stacks and then dropping Las & Colin at the airport :( #
- 02:31 heading to bed later than planned despite the fact that Averie's been in bed for a while now. Oops. #
- 09:04 following all this yucky weather and heading to Monticello #
- 06:51 liking Mental more and more with each episode. You think maybe it's because I relate so well to the patient characters? :-P #
- 10:10 apparently thunderstorms make Averie sleepy too! She's been asleep (not just in bed) for over 7 hours! Just wish it was a trend! #
- 11:44 so glad that the wind was blowing the downed tree branches away from the car since I didn't park up the drive like Aaron said I should... #
- 17:12 mac and cheese crackers are suprisingly delicious... #
- 22:54 if anyone finds my sanity, could you please return it to me? Thanks! #
- 00:50 hakuna matata #
- 09:37 I was in bed & she was crying, came down & now shes asleep. It's been 35 min & she's still quiet but I know better than to go back to bed! #
- 00:16 Whew! Had a nice relaxing day, got things put away and even managed to get a few minutes to take a long bath and do some primping! #
- 01:54 had a great day today - the party was lovely, thanks again to everyone! Heading to bed now before another busy day tomorrow! #
- 00:08 Apparently we're going for the polar opposite of yesterday-after an evening of fussiness shes now out & I have to finish laundry and pack. #
- 10:24 thinking Averies started reverse cycling a bit too early.. she went from 230am-10am without eating but ate like a pig right beforehand! #
- 10:24 Plus the bad news is I was counting on her to be the alarm clock this morning. D'oh! #
- 01:03 baffled - Averie's been asleep for 5 hours and shows no signs of wanting to wake up. Guessing she wont sleep as well the rest of the night! #
- 15:02 a little pissed off that we're missing a check... might make bill paying a freakin' nightmare! Grr.... #
- 06:22 back to bed... please, please let me sleep for at least a couple hours! #
- 20:07 just home from a 2 mile walk with Averie - we opted for real exercise today! #
- 23:10 I just lost some grape pop out my nose. It didn't feel so good -- but things smell good now, kinda like dimetapp :-P #
- 23:24 on a less disturbing, more positive note - Averie gained 13 ounces in the past week and is now 10 lbs even. Definitely a growth spurt! #
- 07:33 why didnt I sleep last night when I had the chance?? Sooo tired.... #
- 12:40 okay, now I feel the need to join the #squarespace tagging -- just because theres a SLIGHT chance, can't hurt, right? #
- 13:24 Using Digsby for IM, Email, and Twitter - twitter.digsby.com #
- 14:43 wondering if twitter is so slow because #Squarespace just announced there was only 1.5 hrs till the next drawing... #
- 18:30 todays exercise towards getting back in shape: baking sugar cookies and slathering them in extra frosting. Maybe we'll go for a walk tmw... #
Other than that, we're going to start trying to give her bottles of pumped milk shortly, I wish that meant I'd get to sleep through the night. Instead it means that I'll get to hook a machine up to my boobs instead. But it's still a step in the right direction towards making sure we're sorted when I go back to work.
Other than that -- here's a quick little video I took earlier today. Yes, she makes piggy noises :-P
She weighed in at a good 8lbs, 5oz - she had gotten down to 6lbs 14oz at one point, so that was good progress! (Her original starting weight was 7lbs, 9oz). All her measurements were right in the middle of the curve, so she's in rockstar shape.
She's still wearing newborn clothes - some of them are starting to get a bit small, some of them are still huge. Funny how that works out! She really likes to lay on my chest after she's done eating and fall asleep. After laying there for a while she seems to decide that she'd prefer to lay on the other side of her face and she'll spend a few seconds figuring out how to lift her head up and turn to face the other direction. It's still an uncoordinated bobbing motion, but she gets there - and I'm sure over the coming weeks it'll improve even more!
A girl from work stopped out and took some pictures of Averie last Sunday to work on her portfolio. I've seen a couple of them and they're super cute. As soon as she gets the rest of them to me, I'll be sure to post a few!
She's decided that she only likes it when her daddy puts her in the crib -- whenever I do it, she starts to scream and fuss. Last week she loved being put in her crib when she was wide awake, now this week I have to make sure she's extremely passed out before she'll let me put her in there, and then it's for a shorter period of time since she's usually managed to nap for a good 20 minutes before I put her into the crib in the first place. Daddy, however, can pick her up at almost any time and put her in the crib and she's just fine!
Today we played with our sling - after a couple of tries I managed to get her situated into it just right and we walked around the house for a bit to make sure she was okay with it, then we walked to the mailbox at the end of the street and back home. After she survived that I decided she'd probably make it to main street and back, so I wrote out a check for our internet bill and we hiked down there -- she snored the whole way there and back!
When Aaron left he put her down for me so she napped for the first while that he was gone. I managed to get a few things done around the house in the earlier hours. Then off and on between her feedings tonight I've put her back into the sling and carried her around while I worked on other tasks -- Throughout the day I've managed to catch up all of our laundry, wash and put away the dishes in the dishwasher, picked up the kitchen and living room, spot cleaned the bathroom, and vacuumed the floors. Hurrah! That just leaves the trash and the cat litter for Aaron to do tonight (it's garbage night). I'm proud of myself, but I'm getting exhausted, so I'm thinking that after this next feeding of hers that I'll let her crash out on my chest and I'll take a nap too...
Right, that's about it for updates for the moment. I'll leave ya with a couple of pictures!
- 23:45 is done being crafty for the night. Aaron's still being productive though! #
- 16:31 is drinking applejuice and playing bingo... #
- 22:44 is granting wishes, but I need to go to bed - gotta baby class tomorrow morning! #
