I’m visiting the folks right now and just realized that, hey! Guess What? I have a blog!

Just kidding - I didn’t forget. I just don’t have much disposable time.

Everything’s going really well with the girl. (We have GOT to do the naming thing. I’m tired of using the girl and the boy. I just need to decide what the prize(s) will be.) She sleeps through the night. Ahem. I can’t believe I just risked screwing it up by telling you that. She sleeps at least 6 hours (midnight to 6 am) and often 8 hours. Crazy stuff. We thought people were lying when they said their babies slept, but it turns out that that’s not so. You can understand why we thought that, I’m sure, because our 21 month old still doesn’t sleep. He has only had one or two proper naps in two weeks and the other days he just plays in his crib for two hours. And he’s still waking up at night with his dog damned freaking teeth, so he’s not getting enough sleep any way you look at it. He has bags under his eyes, but there’s nothing we can do about it. A two hour time out in his crib does seem to take the crankies away and he comes out ready to rock again so I suppose it’s all he needs. As long as I get my two hours, what do I care whether he sleeps or not?

The BG goes back to work on Monday and I still haven’t figured out how I’m ever going to leave the house without him. I’m sure I’ll figure it out quickly when I actually have to do it, but it might be…interesting, to say the least.

Thanks for the tips on the scabbed nipple. With two pumping sessions it kind of healed itself and her lip just fixed itself too so it’s all good. I think I have enough milk to feed a small country (and no time to pump it so it just sits in there) because she often gets a mouthful and let it run all over my clothes because there’s too much there for her to swallow. She’s growing like a weed so she’s definitely getting what she needs.

Speaking of eating…Have you read this? It’s American, not Canadian, and our standards and inspection blah blah things are much higher and we don’t even have “school lunches” here, but still. I’m totally for the vegetarian thing. Ugh.
