This may be long or short...I guess we will see how long Olivia allows me both hands to type...Right now, Jason is trying to get her 'milk drunk/stoned' so she will pass out until about midnight...well, preferably 1 or 2....and if we're lucky - all night HAHA!
STATUS: Olivia Bee is now 7 weeks and 1 day old + approximately 10 lbs.
FUN THINGS
smiling in response to you
imitating your faces and your 'cooing'
being able to wear your baby in a carrier or put her down for an hour
'war stories' (ie, explosive poop, vomit flowing from your hair down to your chest and not knowing it, etc.)
vintage dresses on babies
photoshoots + time spent with kirsten (!)
NOT FUN THINGS
growth spurts/growing pains that screw up the baby and everyone's schedule for a week at a time + not being able to comfort your baby knowing she's uncomfortable from growing
'war stories' when they happen
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A BEE
When we're not going through a growth spurt (which is normally every couple of weeks), our little Olivia Bee is a perfect angel. Here's our NORMAL schedule...
430-730/830 AM: Co-sleep/freestyle breastfeeding (Dad leaves for work by 500)
730-900 AM: Saying 'Good morning' to the world/morning errands; sing songs with Mom as she eats breakfast
900/930-1000/1030 AM: Morning nap
1000/1030-1100/1130: freestyle breastfeeding/light napping
1130-1230: sing songs with Mom while being walked around the house for afternoon errands; Mom eats lunch
1230-200: freestyle breastfeeding; afternoon nap
200-400: Daddy is home (!); Mom does more errands/showers
500: Dinner for the folks
600: walking around town (weather permitting)
700: Jeopardy!; bathtime (every other day); feeding and prep for bed
800: Olivia Bee to bed
1200/130: Olivia Bee wakes for first feeding (sometime within these hours)
230/330: Olivia Bee wakes for second feeding (sometime within these hours)
....and we do it all over again!!!
RANDOM UPDATE
We have been busy planning our little Bee's christening for the end of the month.
This week my friend August will be staying with us as he searches for an apartment for he and his lady friend as they make their big move back east from Seattle.
I still have about 15 lbs. to lose. Slowly but surely....just got the clearance from le docteur that everything has healed nicely and I can start working out...
ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT is the BEST show ever!
