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.

Getting real
After the break.
There is so much to be grateful for. An easy pregnancy. A labor and delivery that went mostly the way I’d hoped it would. A healthy baby boy who’s already well over a pound up from his birth weight. Who looks just like his dad. And I’m going to say it, and, yes, this is bragging, but—no stretch marks. At least not on my belly. I’ve noticed a couple...
Internet, I regret to inform you that last week I saw a minivan with a license plate that read “catmom” and I didn’t take a picture because lately there is no time for anything except nursing and changing diapers.
But I thought of you guys. I did.

Story time
Two days ago Dominic put flannel sheets on our bed despite the fact that I told him that flannel sheets are the worst, ugh, and then 10 seconds later we were both boiling hot, but we literally don’t have the time or energy to change our sheets one more time (there was a leaky boob incident before that—sexy) so we’ve just been sleeping on top of our sheets ever since.

Well, if I’ve lost any weight, it’s all come off my butt.
2012 resolution:
Try not to drop so many poptart crumbs on my sleeping baby.
I mean it was a bar/grill and we got to show him off to friends, have a drink, and leave after an hour. But we also had our IDs checked at the door.
I know what I won't be doing this New Year's Eve:
Walking to O’Leaver’s in the snow, drinking way, way too many vodka sodas, dancing by myself to Kanye’s “Monster,” and then dragging my gloveless husband home shortly after midnight after an unfortunate parking lot incident.
We’re totally someone’s parents now.
