When the Only Thing Routine is the Lack of Routine

June 2, 2009

It’s hard to comprehend that Little E is four weeks old today!?!? Time flies! Perhaps it particularly flies when you’re too tired to understand the concept of time anymore. We do seem to be getting some aspects of the baby’s sleep to a better place, so we are starting to get a bit more sleep [...]

The VERY LONG birth story of E. Normous

May 22, 2009

10 lb 2.1 oz, 22 1/4 inches, 1:53 PM, May 5, 2009: When I went to my appointment on Monday (40 weeks, 1 day), the doctor mentioned that they wanted to put me on the induction list for the next week if I didn’t have the baby during that week. OK, I’m cool with that. [...]

Time flies when you’re too tired to tell time

May 20, 2009

I just realized it’s been a week since we last posted. Yikes! The last few days have felt rather like survival mode. Little E has awful reflux, so none of us are sleeping. We’re on our third medication now, which had to be compounded and the only compounding pharmacy is 30-40 minutes away. That doesn’t [...]

The last day before everything changes – again

May 4, 2009

After Mary’s 40+ week ultrasound today that estimated the baby to be 10lbs 6oz (that’s not a typo), she’s been fast tracked for an induction, as in tomorrow morning. We did get a good laugh that it appears he’ll be a Cinco de Mayo baby. Photo possibilities galore! For me, I’m having a lot of [...]

Apparently we can’t have babies without a national emergency

May 1, 2009

The J-Man was born during Hurricane Katrina, though we are many hundreds of miles away from New Orleans. However, our hospital politely but insistently urged us out the door to make room for the wave of Katrina moms heading our way. That was fine by us, though, as we didn’t want to be there any [...]
