Mommyville

I meant to start posting here, oh, six months ago. But dude...having a baby is hard work and takes up a lot of time (who knew?) and it doesn't help that I'm lazy. Anyway, I'm going to use this blog to post about the every day happenings in stay-at-home-mommyville.

Today Noah is 25 weeks old. And so freaking adorable. Just look:

Sure, he's so tall that his pants are a bit (ok, a lot) high-water'ish but his shirt says '01 with the ladies' and clearly clothes don't lie.

During his first three months of life this child didn't know how to do anything but scream. Luckily he smiles now but he's still a huge fan of the screaming. Earlier today I told him he was going to send me to a mental institution. It's never good when your child makes you feel homicidal. Thank goodness for boobs! They almost always calm him down.

Here's what today looked like:

10:45 - wake up to a baby moving around (yes, we sleep LATE and it's awesome. YAY for bed sharing!)
11:00 - diaper change. The thing literally weighed 3 lbs.
11:05 - throw on some laundry. weigh myself. 140 lbs. 2 lbs under my pre-preggo weight. score.
11:10 - drink my morning Hydro-C so it doesn't feel like I'm passing fire balls wrapped in barbed wire when I poop (anal fissures are cruel bastards)
11:15 - Noah goes crazy in the jumperoo while I check my email/facebook
12:00 - do the dishes while Noah chills in his Bumbo and plays with the bread bag. Make a ham and turkey sandwich with spicy mustard and avocado...veggie straws and banana on the side.
12:20 - get Noah settled on the Boppy and he nurses while I eat
1:00 - shower
1:30 - Noah protests my getting ready and SCREAMS while I blow dry my hair
1:35 - give up on getting ready and change his diaper...more screaming
1:40 - nurse bebe to sleep and screw around online while watching A Baby Story. C-section as usual. Hate this show...why do I always watch?
2:30 - let Noah play on nursery floor while I deal with more laundry.
2:40 - play with the bubs and try to clean up the nursery at the same time. Looked like a tornado came through.
3:30 - decided I'd try to wear Noah in the Moby and go for a walk. But the wind is horrible. Said screw it.
4:00 - babe wants to nurse again. He falls asleep on me. I decide to update blogs.
5:30 - Noah is still asleep on me (with his hand on my boob...so cute) and we never made it out of the house. Need groceries but oh well!

So, there you have it. A typical day if we don't leave the house. I can't wait until the weather warms up! We're gonna be outside A LOT!
