This pregnancy time-lapse was adorable.
love love this
ADORABLE!
I hate when I see stuff like this WAY after the fact. A time lapse video of the happier parts of the pregnancy would have been awesome. C’est la vie.

In praise of Halo
Just as soon as I’m reaching new heights of exasperation at my kid not going to sleep at a decent hour, the resolution to the problem presents itself (via my babycenter birth board and some common sense…)
Dudeguy had me convinced that the kid hated to be fully swaddled (arms in, that is). For the past 10 weeks, we’ve half-swaddled him, arms out and flailing. This often led to...

I've spoiled him...
They say you can’t spoil a newborn.
MY ASS.
Sure, there is no need to put a cap on holding them, snuggling with them, and nomming on their cheeks, but damnit if I didn’t lock myself into a pattern where I have to entertain this boy until he falls asleep…I put him in the crib and he screams. Not because he’s wet/dirty/hungry/hot/cold/in pain. He’s crying because...

“Remember…that map of Catalina equals instant happy.”
– Apparently, the kid’s favorite thing to look at is a map of Catalina and its distribution of wildlife. He’s strange.

Shots...
The kid had his first round of vaccines today. The nurse jammed three needles into him - 2 in one thigh and 1 in the other. The last one drew blood; so much that it ran down the side of his leg. He screamed, then calmed down, then slept. He slept all of the way home (during the trip, the car broke down in the middle of Wilshire Blvd right before Fairfax; any of you that live in SoCal should...

^ is exactly how I look right now. Insomnia + infant do not a great combination make. Everyone else is asleep. I WANT TO SLEEP. My body won’t let me. Where is the justice? WHERE?!?!?@?@

The Cuteness...
I put the kid down for the night in his crib (he usually HATES this), but this time, I turned on the little seahorse that plays lullabies. When I came back to check on him a few minutes later, he was smiling, cooing, and pretty much having a conversation with his crib buddy. It was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. I even shed a thug tear.
I’ll try and remember this moment when he...

Between Love and Madness...
Ok, so I’ve been going apeshit buying cloth diapers the past few days.
We initially went with a diaper service for the first couple of months just to ease us into the idea of using cloth. It’s been great. Really great. Thing is, with the amount of laundry I do now (including a load of diaper laundry every other day because I use cloth wipes and the kid’s great at getting...

“If Blossom can do the EC thing, then damnit, so can I!”
– Mayim Bialik has convinced me that I can be successful at “potty training” my kid now. This is going to be a great way to spend the last of my maternity leave…

EDITED TO ADD: You know that part on Jay-Z’s “Public Service Announcement” where that clip is playing and the guy says “but just remember, when it hits the fan brother, whether it’s next year, ten years, twenty years from now, you’ll never be able to say that these brothers lied to you JACK!”? Well, pretend that I’m that guy. I wouldn’t lie...
idruther asked: Agree. I was just this afternoon trying to figure out how to recreate these. I have one pack and they are in constant rotation, getting all gummed up with lanolin and milk. I think my little milk monster is just a few weeks younger than yours. littlepistachio.wordpress
