Changes in our lives

Over a year ago, my lunch date Shawn and I would have been talking about roller derby but today we were talking about babies. It's amazing how friendships evolve when a new little one joins your life. Today we talked about making baby food and breastfeeding.

It seems that really no one in our lives really has breast feed. Our mothers didn't along with a lot of family and friends so when I tell ppl I'm going to breastfeed, I don't get flack but a lot of questions about why I want to do it. I'm all about saving money and that's really why I want to do it.

Shawn also turned me onto Ask Dr. Sears. I wish I would have known sooner about this but now I know. I think I'd get more out of this than Babyfit.com.

The end of lazy days

I haven't been up to much lately. Yesterday before 9 a.m. I had run the dishwasher, vacuumed the house and cleaned the kitchen. When my friend with a 7 month old called and I told her this, she felt like such a slacker and then it dawned on me -- this won't probably happen again until my kids are old enough to be more dependent.

This morning, we woke up at 8 a.m. (that's late for us). Usually the dog wakes me up at 6 a.m. to eat but this morning he decided to be kind and let us sleep in. As we watched a Bob Dylan documentary in bed we joked "better savor this moment - probably will be a long time until this happens again."

Yesterday we picked up the mattress for the crib. A lady in the baby section approached me for help. She was looking for a co-sleeper for her daughter but she didn't know what it was called or what it looked like. She said "you look like someone that knows baby stuff." I do know baby stuff and it was nice be looked at as an expert on these things.

It's amazing to think I'm 3/4 of the way to having this baby. I almost can't wait to hold him in my arms and see what he looks like.

I'm off to have a lazy Sunday. We'd take the dog for a walk byt it's snowing!
