When Even Sleep Is a Luxury…

It’s not that I don’t have anything to blog these days, it’s just that I’m unable to blog. I mean physically. Because at all times, there’s a baby attached to me. I thought once I gave birth, I was done carrying the baby 24/7. Turns out I was wrong. The Doodlebug is a crier. Loves [...]

Cleanliness Is Overrated

The Doodlebug hates baths. I mean hate. Therefore, I hate giving him baths. He lets out these blood-curdling screams that break my heart. So, I think he should go dirty. I mean, he’s only three and a half weeks old; who does he need to impress? But for some reason, Adam thinks he needs to [...]

There Is Such a Thing as a Dumb Question

Someone recently asked me, “So other than the baby, what have you been up to?” Surprisingly, I was able to keep from punching him.

All in Due Time

So today was Doodlebug’s official due date. And yet, here he is, almost three weeks old. I can’t imagine what it would have been like had he made it till today. Things worked out so much better with his early arrival, with Adam being off for a week and a half. But it feels like [...]

I Can Name That Tune in 573 Notes… Maybe

The Difference Between Me and Adam

Doodlebug, like most babies, does this thing where he, out of nowhere, begins to wave his arms around wildly. Then, just as suddenly, he’ll stop. It’s some sort of baby reflex. When Adam saw him doing this, he said, “Awww, Doodlebug is conducting the baby orchestra!” Which I thought was funny, because when I saw [...]

I’m Almost Back

Have you missed me? Somehow things like blogging–and eating and sleeping–don’t seem to rank as a high priority right now. However, Adam has set up a laptop with wireless for me, so maybe I can quickly blog between feedings. Although considering that I started this blog entry a full day ago and it has yet [...]
