What you do when you’re home alone with The Baby

Thursday, April 27th, 2006

The King is in Arizona for his best friends wedding. When he booked his plane ticket almost 9 months ago, he didn’t think leaving me and The Baby would be that hard.
Fast forward to Wednesday morning and him freaking out about being away for two nights. He kept assuring me that this was [...]

Things I have learned this week

Tuesday, April 25th, 2006

Things I have learned in the last week:

I can do more than I thought I could with just one free hand.
Feeding a newborn is the time equivalent of a full time job (and why doesn’t anyone talk about that?) The pay sucks.
Breastfeeding is easy. I’ve figured out how to succeed at it. [...]

Late night, early morning? Who can be sure anymore?

Monday, April 24th, 2006

Number Three?

Monday, April 17th, 2006

We were scheduled to be induced yesterday.
We sat by the phone all day long.
They never called.

We’re thinking this isn’t going to happen today.
In fact, I’m not sure this is ever going to happen at this point.

An induction has been scheduled for Sunday. The King and I will be “on call” that day until they are ready for us.
My [...]
