So, here is my question. If you lovingly take the time to bathe your baby, and while you are drying her she pees on the towel, then spits up, then just as you wrap her up she has explosive poo, and some more spit up, is she still clean? Dunno, just asking. I don’t have the energy to give her another bath right now though!

Still Clean??

Music

J loves any sort of music. Even his sister practicing recorder, he is dancing to her music in this picture!
yup, those are her feet under her chin

It explains a lot about how she was tucked up inside me! Meet baby E, born Sunday am, 7 lbs 10 ounces.
And here is the first picture of all of us.
‘ductions
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
Twas the night before ‘duction when back at our house
A fetus was stirring like a wee little mouse
Little booties were hung by the crib rail with care
In the hope that a stork soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug in their beds
While unorthidox baby names danced in their heads
And M in with her leaf tea and me with nightcap
Had just settled down for one last restful nap…
The Sea Section is not Marineland

R has asked several times what a c-section is, and we’ve tried to explain. But it wasnt sinking in. The reason showed up last night when she said a sweet payer asking that M be able to avoid the sea section. Apparently that is the water-themed section of the hospital. And there might be sharks.
Good to know! We’ll see if we can’t stay clear of there.
Colouring together
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
It warms my heart when these two play so nicely together. R was colouring a butterfly, and J was colouring a “horse”. I admit he quickly lost interest in colouring when I got out the pencil sharpener, then it was all about ‘turning’ the pencils…
Sick…

Well it started last Tuesday morning when little J man threw up his breakfast. He went on to throw up all day long. At 4pm after some gravol, he stoped, but resumed 24 hours later. So far, that seems to be his pattern. He’ll throw up about once every 24 hrs, (the other end in the mean time!) Poor little guy. Daddy came down with it Thursday, and I was down and out yesterday. Things are more complicated for me being pregnant, and I ended up at the hospital for some IV hydration and IV gravol. I’ve been ok today, but super tired. So far, R is the only hold out, and I hope she can keep up her immunity!
Nesting
Posted by ahechtenns On F j, Y
So my reading tells me that near the end of your pregnancy you tend to get into this ‘nesting’ mode. Apparently you want to clean, tidy, and generally feel prepared to welcome the new little baby into your life. I had a short spurt of nesting energy….All of the sudden I had the energy to put a basket of laundry away, and I said to A, ‘Hey, this might be nesting’! Too bad it only lasted 10 minutes. Sad really… I could use some more energy to prepare/clean/tidy and more!!!
