gus-ness is my favorite baby thus far
her furniture came todya and it's starting to feel like she's a real person, and not just a cute little thing we carry around and kiss and try to make feel better when it's crying.
It's so cool how quickly they grow
sometimes she wtaches the door for Avraham. she's so little and so smart. i think we'll keep her.
mushy goodness.
and nursing is getting to be not bad, even fun sometimes, now that she smiles and flirts and coos and laughs (sometimes).
and in other good news, Games magazine finally came today so I get to tease my brain for the next little while. relief washed over avraham's face - maybe now he'll fear my losing my mind a little less?
poor sweet baby is being scheduled and she doesn't like it. she wants to sleep when i want her to be up, both when i wake her up from a nap and when i won't let her fall back asleep (cause otherwise she'll sleep away the morning). the funyn thing is that when i smile at her, she misles back, so she'll be screaming and in hysterics and totally crying, then i smile at her, and then she's crying with a big smile on her face. wackjob.
i haven't been blogging. or returning emails. or phone calls. i'm not sure why. i think the little cocoon of me, gus, and avs (when he's not at work) that's evolved, and i don't want to start having my days be full of other people yet. maybe i'm just selfish and trying to keep gus all to myself. unclear.
although i do make a point of having an adult-ish dinner with friends once a week, and theoretically i get together with my friend during the day, although i haven't done it since before yom kippur. woah, now that i say that, that's a really long time. although i haven't really been home for the last month.
ok, i have a headache. see ya, blog people. i'll hopefully be around a bit more often.
gus-ness woke up at 1:30; her swaddling had come undone, and she's startled herself awake. i put her in my bed, shished her, re-swaddled her, and realized i coudln't fall back asleep. so she and avraham are sleeping in our room.
on other news, her crib is supposed to be coming this week, along with my glider. i realized belatedly that for the mount we spent on the glider at the baby store, we could have gotten a nice leather chair elsewhere. oh, well.
my brain doesn't work like it used to. more sluggish, my sense of humor is off. i make jokes and cringe at how dumb they are. i pack for chag and forget to pack diapers (yeah, i remembered before chag began, so avs ran out and bought some). little things, you know?
anyhow, i'm going to go watch ugly betty cause i'm up and i'm bored and i love me my mindless entertainment.
and today, what you should know is that
1. my shirt says "kiss and tel aviv" and
2. all of my excess pregnancy hair is finally succumbing to that postpartum hormone drop. while some women may hate this, i like it because
a. i have a ton of hair normally, and this has really been too much, and
b. it's kinda fun to pull your hair out.
and for all those keeping score at home, my baby starting laughing over Chag, and can get her thumb in her mouth. though not for very long, as she still flails, so it tends to come out before she's ready to lose it. what a Booba.
