Thank you.

Today the babe and I had our first outing together. To the doctor for me. To retrieve the eldest from school. And then to the grocery store.
We rocked my favorite sling. Made do with the new car seat that is nearly incompatible with my Element. Survived the biggest diaper blowout yet. Realized at check out that I didn’t have the card for groceries.
I took everything in stride, which is a major departure for me. Made plans to pick up groceries tomorrow. Drove home. Read books to the oldest at bedtime and told him what a great help he was at the store. It was a good day.
Stay tuned homies….stay tuned.

I am totally doing this with Stormageddon next summer when I’ve lost all the baby weight and before he is old enough to know how creepy it is.
Also, this brings Mother-Boy to a whole new level…
GPO His first bath. Photo by my eldest.
Stormageddon’s umbilical cord finally fell off so we could give him a good washing. He hated the bath. HATED IT. But now he is sleeping very soundly and smells better.
He checked out great at his doctor’s appointment on Thursday. He already weighs nine pounds, which is nearly a full pound more than the midwife weighed him last week. He nurses like a champ.
I can’t believe how fast he is changing. The first time around I couldn’t wait for all the new things kidbite would do. I couldn’t wait for him to grow up. Now, with Stormageddon, I just want him to stay little. I never thought I would feel that way.

the dude abides: Mary Carpenter -
Hey guys. I was hoping I could ask for you in the tumblr universe to send good vibes to a very long time family friend (essentially a third non-blood-related grandmother) who is dying of cancer. She’s had it for years now and I just found out she is now in the ICU bleeding internally. They can’t the source of the bleeding or get the blood to clot, so it sounds like she’ll be gone soon. If you could, please send out prayers of whatever religion you follow for Mary Carpenter. Pray she recovers and if she can’t be saved, then to make her passing painless. Thanks.
I accidentally caught a sleep smile while taking one of Stormy’s daily photos!
