friends brought us a potato/ parsnip galette
& tiramisu last night. so good. i wish they had
stayed & eaten with us but they went home after
chatting a bit. on friday braxton's aunt & sister
& her kids will be here for the weekend--that will
be nice :)
still trying to figure out the baby carrier thing.
i got a ring sling from sleeping baby--i think i like it?
his bum isn't low enough but this was easier to put on.
need to work on it. he spit up on it as soon as i put him in it,
of course. now i have this sbp rs, moby, ergo + insert, zolowear rs &
new native pouch. i kind of want a fancy wrap, too, after
looking at all the fsot posts on thebabywearer, but
i will wait on that. ha.
after i get my license (i need to schedule a road test!!)
i want to go to a babywearing meeting. there is a group
in dayton & one in cincinnati, too.
well, i tried again... a little better? his head still slumps forward,
though, so his chin is pressed against his chest aeghghghghghgh what do i dooooooo.
have to get my license soon because i need to drive
to dayton airport at the end of june to go to idaho to see
my brother do iron man in coeur d'alene. braxton
will be away at a conference, so baby & i need to drive
him there, back home, & back to the airport... my mom
wants me to take a shuttle, but i am not sure what to do
about a car seat, then? do shuttles have car seats?
i'm not taking baby's car seat because my parents are driving
to idaho from california & they have one... less for me to lug...
i guess i could put baby's car seat in the shuttle and then stash it
in our car in the parking lot, if braxton drove himself and
left it there.... ugh.
sleepy me. |

What is yr favorite baby carrier?
We have a moby and an ergo--I think
I need to work on them both--it seems like
I have him there correctly, but his chin slumps
forward onto his chest in both of them (ergo w/
the insert) so maybe I am doing it wrong? He
likes being in them but I walk around holding his head
up. Or maybe he's just too small, still?
I am thinking about getting a maya sling as
well (maybe it would be better for wearing around the
house/nursing in?).
My mom flew home yesterday; it was so nice having her
here. She was a big help, bouncing baby on the ball and
making yummy dinners (I had leftover spinach lasagne for
lunch). I'm glad baby came in time to meet her! It would
have been okay if he was born after she left, but
it was nice having the help and being able to have her
hold him while I did my sitz bath or whatever, and Braxton
was still grading. Now we just have the cradle swing, no
grandma :o
I wanted to take baby on a walk in the woods, but
it was a rainy day. Cluster feeding and watching
The Killing... When he was alert earlier we listened
To Elizabeth Mitchell's you are my little bird. It's
a very nice, sweet album for kids.

keep hearing a helicopter circling round;
i guess they're searching for an armed man in the woods
near us.
we finally went and had the car seat installed/inspected/explained. so that's ready :) then breakfast at pattersons!

started this on august 12, 2009.
still have 7!!! blocks to make!!
& well, the sashing (white), quilting,
binding & everything. have to figure out
how to do the back.
dayton this morning, for a prenatal.
weirdly last week i was 3 lbs less than the
2 weeks before, which had been the same,
and today i weighed the same as i weighed before.
i guess not much is changing now? except she
did the fundal height measurement and it dropped
from 37 weeks to 33, which i guess is because he's
dropped down more. so. hmmm.

39 weeks today!
braxton keeps saying, baby could come anytime!
eee! but when? i don't even know if i have BH contractions.
just general malaise sometimes. i hope he does get born'd
before my mom comes. if we go past the due date i might
try acupuncture? or something.
yesterday i had a nice long walk around town/campus while
braxton was in class. i went to united dairy farmer's (it
is a gas station that also has an ice cream counter, so weird)
and had a cone--they had a special for 2 scoops of berry-flavoured
ice cream for 1, so i had strawberry and black raspberry.
otherwise, just watching episodes of the killing (so good!),
working on my log cabin quilt (11 more blocks!! to go), prenatal
tomorrow, braxton's last day of teaching!! until the fall!! tomorrow,
making smoothies, etc etc.
preorders for glamorous freak end monday.

coffee cake baking in the oven.
our doula is coming over tomorrow morning
& i realized we have no treats. i used
the recipe from smitten kitchen, but
without rhubarb, since we don't have that,
either. it smells good. earlier i made
pasta with a cilantro/pepita pesto leftover
from yesterday (we had pizza) and roasted
brussel sprouts (i like how the outside leaves
get crispy!). hmmm. not much else
to report. we went to a prenatal appt.
in dayton this morning--38 weeks today!
saw a some deer running across a field.
reading more georgette heyer. yoga. etc. |
