Dear Carolyn, Everyone says you need to “introduce” a bottle (Carolyn, this is bottle; bottle, this is Carolyn) by 6 weeks if a baby’s ever going to drink from one, so we experimented a little tonight. You weren’t sure at first, but then you apparently decided milk is yummy from whatever source and drank it [...]
I’m almost afraid to blog about this – I might jinx things – but for two nights in a row now, Carolyn has slept from 10:30 to 5:30. Seven whole hours! I’m sure it’s not permanent, but I’m grateful for it – I almost feel human after having that much sleep. Good thing I got [...]
Thought I’d fallen off the face of the earth? Nope, I’ve just been busy with thank you notes (the last ones go out today!), announcements, baby stuff… But I didn’t want to let a whole month go by without blogging about Carolyn. I needed to upgrade my movable type installation to do some of the [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today was your first Thanksgiving. We watched some of the parade on TV in our pajamas, and then we got ready to go to your great-grandmother’s house for a big feast. Everybody was there, and so excited to see you. Your cousins Benjamin and D.J. were there – they’re only a few months [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today you are one month old! I find this amazing for so many reasons – I can’t believe it’s already been a month, I can’t believe it’s only been a month, I can’t believe a month can fly by so quickly… I can barely remember life before you (B.C. – Before Carolyn). In [...]
No, no, no, we didn’t really get Carolyn’s hair cut today, but she did come with me to the salon. My mom, grandmother and I all had appointments at the same time, and of course Carrie slept through until it was my turn. Oh, well. I nursed her in one of the massage rooms and [...]
OK, the announcements are supposed to go out today, although I realized there are a few people who were missing from the list, so I have to remember to send them one of these days. Amazing mail seemed like a good idea at the time, but now I’m slightly worried because I just sent dozens [...]
Dear Carolyn, Although you’ve been smiling in your sleep since the day you were born, and you’ve even smiled while awake many times in the past couple of weeks, today was the first smile I think you truly meant for me. You were making your little “oh” face, where your eyes are big and surprised [...]
Dear Carolyn, We went to the mall today. It started out that we were just going to the post office for stamps. Then I realized I really needed gas. Then, you were sleeping so nicely in the car (you were a little fussy all day and hadn’t napped much) that I thought about taking you [...]
Dear Carolyn, Today we went to see a lactation consultant. I’ve been pretty sore, and supposedly that should be gone by now. Turns out, we have thrush. I guess the antibiotics they had to give me after the c-section were probably the culprit. Sorry about that! Anyway, the good news is, there’s a cause, and [...]
