Our Daily Sarcasm

Now you must realize, my husband and I have a weird sarcastic sort of humor...

What Grinds My Gears:

When my husband, acts as if he knows everything about babies....

DH: Why did you put her diaper on like that
Me: (pissed off, because I'm up with the baby all night all day and all he does is one friggin feeding) so that it doesn't leak
DH: When's her next feeding
Me: When I say so....
DH: How was she today
Me: I dunno, perhaps if you were upstairs with us instead of watching tv you'd know
DH: Gee Babe, you're mean, Do you need to be burped


Neighbor: She's beautiful, when will you have to next one
DH: In a couple of years
Me:( turns around, replays movie of infertility in her mind, replays movie of depression, replays conversation she had with DH that they both agreed they will only have ONE child)
Me: Yes once men are able to give birth

DH: Childraising is easy
Me: Oh yeah, when have you raised a child (lol)

Nobody Puts Baby In A Corner ... Bassinet!

My daughter has such a cute personality, she's a little dictator and we've finally established what her "cues" are.

Uncontrollable Snorting: "Feed me now, cut the bolonga I can careless about tummy time right now"

Mouth moving with fingers waving: "I'm in between feedings, so if you wake me up now, I will expect some sort of treat in the form of breastmilk"

Smelling shirts and trying to latch on: "I believe that's the only reason you have breast anyway, to feed me"

Crying in intervals: "My pamper is dirty, I want you to change me, but I also don't like my pamper changed, so I am contemplating if I want this changed or not"

Yelling Cry: "Burp me, Burp me NOW"

Crying with eyes open at 2:00 a.m.: "This bassinet is lonely, can I sleep with you?"

Horoscope

Quickie
If you're indecisive, focus on what's best for you. Take others out of the equation.

Overview
Your heart is going through quite a loot these days -- it may be that you've got to make some big changes! They should be all positive, though, so don't worry too much about where you're headed.

Sometimes I read my horoscopes and I am totally amazed at how spot on they are and then there are the days where I'm like "wtf"? Today is totally the former. Sometimes I want to express every little feeling on my blog, but then I realize that my blog gets read by people and what if one of you call dyfs on me (kidding). So instead I use blogging as a sense of emotional release, sort of like my own personal therapy. I'm sure the majority of you all do too. Sometimes I even pick a random day and read that journal entry, just to get some sort of clarity about what my feelings where on a certain date. Sometimes it helps, Sometimes it doesn't. But anyway, I just wanted to share my horoscope with you all I will stop with the annoying blabbing for now that is.

Week One - Sleep? Yeah Right!

Bringing home our daughter was the happiest day of our lives. I am totally impressed with how helpful my husband has been with house work and grocery shopping, he's a good guy, even if he hogs the entire bed.

Our daughter is officially a week old today. As a new mother, I didn't realize the true depth of a newborn's sleep schedule. I do now. I believe my daughter is a vampire (haha). At first, our nights would be interupted every two hours, if we're lucky every three hours. I must say that the adjustment process of not getting sleep was a little rough the first day, however the saying "sleep when they sleep" has proved so true in our case. A mix of that and a mix of the fact that I can not get enough of her gorgeous little face, I mean I stare at her 50% of the day, I can't stand when my husband wants to play with her, ughs I am so selfish! I am elated that he goes back to work Monday and I don't for another two months (yay! nonstop ten hours of alone time). I'm breastfeeding, pumping and supplementing with formula. Basically I try to give her 75% of breastmilk and 25% of formula. I know that this ratio will change once she gets 6 weeks old, but I feel that the immune support of breastmilk is essential for her. She's a fussy latcher, she knows how to latch but if given the opportunity she will take a bottle, my husband can't stand her crying and breastfeed latching isn't a piece of cake, so it's terribly annoying to have him in the house when I'm breastfeeding, he's a softy (my husband does whatever his girls say haha so far) and he goes and makes a bottle for her, totally bypassing the point, but when given the opportunity she does in fact latch, but the other problem with her latching is that she is a BIG EATER and will eat and eat, so last night, after what felt like forever of breastfeeding she puked what appeared to be half a bottle and demanded more milk. She's gorgeous so of course I gave her half a oz....lol
