Otherwise, I wouldn't be typing this a 2am. I would be sleeping. I have just finished feeding my little chipmunk who is now sleeping peacefully in the other room and I am here checking blogs that I have not read in way too long.
I'm sorry that I am neglecting you my friends, though it is nice that you don't know it.
Just a shout out to all of you that read my blog. I love you and I miss you. I don't live near most of you and wish that I did. I wish that you all could come over and hold my baby while he is growling between feedings so I could do laundry during daytime hours and not in the middle of the night. I wish that you could kiss and snuggle with Nathan. He is delicious and it is sad to me that you aren't closer or that I'm not closer.
If you are reading this, I miss you and would love to sit with you and chat and laugh. I would make you banana bread if you came to visit, since who doesn't love banana bread? And I have a counter full of bananas. I also have 5 plates of cookies for home teachees on my counter. They are getting stale. Sadness, huh? I've been resisting them all week because they were for someone else. Should have eaten them.
Anyone wanting to come visit, remember we have a sparest of spare rooms waiting for you as well as one very cute and cuddly baby. Any takers?

Bath time
Sorry folks, that I have not been posting much lately. This whole motherhood business is serious stuff. If you have called me and I haven't returned your call or emailed and I haven't emailed back or superpoked me on Facebook and I haven't Superpoked you back (I never will) I apologize, but can't make any promises of fixing that anytime soon. We are super busy here on the ranch and I'm amazed each day at how much time all of this really takes. Feeding, burping, changing diapers, getting peed on, giving baths, matching baby socks (nightmare)and snuggling is all very time consuming. Luckily, I love it all. Okay, so not really on getting peed on. That is his new trick today and has pulled it three times.
One of those times was when we were at the photo place getting his newborn pictures done. Oh my, are those pictures cute! I couldn't even stand it. They make you wait for 20 minutes before you see the pictures and they come out with your pictures already framed in these beautiful arrangements. It was the cutest thing I ever saw. Then this other lady came out and was looking at all our pictures and asked me to sign a model release form. Cause little Nate is such a looker. They might hang him in the store. I knew he was meant for great things. I however will not be encouraging him to model professionally, even though he has one killer Blue Steel of his own.
I of course have no real news of my own, but thought you might be Jonesing for another cute picture of Boy Wonder. Enjoy and your welcome!

Things I've Learned in the last week
Labor
1. There's no way around it
2. Your whole body will shake like you are having a seizure and there is nothing you can do about it (adrenaline)
3. Throwing up is all part of the game
4. You can't get an epidural the minute you walk in the door, thus avoiding all discomfort and pain. I'm still not sure why even though I'm sure they told me.
5. If a grumpy looking man walks in the room with a very large needle, he may not be the man for the job. (My anestisiologist jabbed bone twice and broke a blood vessel while giving me the epidural- Nasty man, but also my best friend)
6. There is no glory in pain. Take the drugs!
Motherhood
1. I have no idea what I'm doing. I never really realized just how much mothers make up as they go along.
2. If you forget to take a diaper bag to the Dr.'s office the day after you come home, they may make you feel stupid about it.
3. It takes 28x more time to get ready to leave the house with a baby
4. After having Nathan home for 4 days, I've done more of his laundry than mine
5. Breastfeeding is hell.
On a really happy note, I have the cutest baby in the universe. Mmmmmm...delicious. And seriously? That full head of hair. Couldn't be more adorable. He's already fake smiling. I really don't care if he has gas, it still just melts my heart.
