WatchYesterday was the first day Dax was able to something other than eat and sleep fitfully and cry. Let’s hope he’s on the upward curve. Also, shout out to my brother, Uncle C!

Angst
The baby is sleeping in his swing, and instead of sleeping myself I chose to get a shower without him screaming inconsolably for once and then do some more internet research on milk and soy allergies.
The past 7 weeks have been the most difficult and frustrating of my life. I don’t know how to describe the feeling of helplessness that comes with knowing something is wrong with your baby and...

The baby is napping in his rocker bassinet, which means he is sleeping in something other than his carrier or our arms, and it feels like a small miracle.
ETA: As soon as I hit publish he woke up. Oh well.

Our baby gave his first awake smile and laugh to…our couch.

Guys, my babby is kind of a jerk. The only way he would sleep this afternoon is if I put him in the ergo and paced back and forth while reading Game of Thrones to him. As soon as I stopped moving or reading, he would lose his shit all over again.
This is going to get better, right?

Life with babby
Ghost Whisperer is an okay show.
LOL
Al Roker just accidentally said titty on the Today show.
I lead a riveting life.
Lately there is no time. There is only nursing and fussing and baby-jiggling and trying (and sometimes succeeding) to sleep. BUT. Here are some good things:
We’re getting out with the baby. Friday we ate cheeseburgers at Goldberg’s. Saturday we ate gyros at Amsterdam and then went to Costco. And today we ate pizza at Sam and Louie’s. We’ve eaten out a lot this weekend....
“As we mark the 39th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must remember that this...”

All babby all the time.
Today I went to a pediatrician who specializes in breast feeding and had my son’s frenulum clipped. I cried almost as much as he did. The frenulum is a piece of tissue that connects the base of the tongue to the bottom of the mouth, and if it’s too tight then it’s called a tongue tie and it makes breast feeding hell. Dax had a slight tongue tie, and I’m hoping that having...

I had thought about creating another tumblr for baby related stuff because I didn’t want to bombard y’all with baby baby baby, but right now this is my life. It’s all-consuming and rich and maddening and 100% powered by biology, which is why parents of infants are so insufferable. We cannot help but be infatuated with our young, lest we eat them or abandon them. I don’t...

What is good
Sweet baby snuggles in between the crying and passed out, mouth open stages. Little brown eyes studying my face. All of his necks. How for now I can still carry him with one arm. Fat baby cheeks. Walks around my neighborhood with him in the front carrier, the weather still improbably gorgeous.
What is harder: How he never lets me put him down (though sometimes this is in the good...

In which a crazy-haired, shirtless, Alabama baby says “Dax” for the first time.
So awesome.
