After a decidedly rough night and early morning with the monster, we’re going to skip church. Hopefully, we’ll be able to catch up on a little bit of the missing sleep. It’s also really really cold out, and I’m not all the excited about dragging Isaac out into the frigid March North Carolina air. (That’s […]
Definition of the Weekend.
This morning, at 6:00, as I fed the monster, I reflected back to the many different times in my life, when the weekend signified many various things…. 1976: I was born. The weekend meant nothing. early 1980’s: The weekend meant I went to my Dad’s. He lived a whopping 1/8th of a mile down the […]
Isaac Update
It’s been a very busy week in the Lidbom house. I have almost completed my first full week back to school. It’s so hectic everyday, with both of us trying to get out the door.If Isaac is sleeping, we have lots of spare time on our hands, because we plan on him being awake and […]
7 Weeks
The boy is 7 weeks old today.On his way to 2 months. I think after 2 months, I’ll stop with the weeks. That’s the plan. He’s growing like a weed. We upgraded him to 3-6 month clothes because he’s too long for the 0-3 month stuff. His little shoulders come out the head hole (because […]
Fluid Festival
Very early this morning (around 2:30 am), Isaac T. woke up and put down about 4 ounces of milk in 7 minutes. He immediately went back to sleep. Then, around 6:00am, he re-awakened.I began to feed him, when there was a giant blowout in his rear section. I should have seen it coming, as he […]
In between sales
I’m in between baby consignment clothes sales. I hit the Lewisville UMC sale this morning. I scored some bigger pj’s for the growing boy, some blocks, a couple of shirts and an extra Baby Bjorn (so Derek can have one fitted to him and I can have one fitted to me and we don’t have […]
1st Day
it’s actually the second day, but i’m writing to update how the first day back went. um, i don’t want to be back. it’s hectic. i have to find time to “get” isaac’s food twice a day. anyone with any knowledge of teaching knows that it’s not easy to find 20-25 minutes in your day. […]
What I did on my maternity vacation….
It’s back to school for me tomorrow. I’m dreading it. I can’t believe it’s been six weeks since Isaac was born. It feels like yesterday that we were thrust into our whirlwind adventure of child delivering. But, then again, it seems like 100 years ago that I had my first sleepless night. It seems like […]
Not-So-Happy Rest of the Day
After I took the video of the super cute boy this morning, he proceeded to have a monsterific rest of the day. He was fussy and grumpy all morning and I couldn’t get him to sleep for more than 15 minutes at a time – and that was only 2 or 3 times. Then, we […]
Church Attempt #2
I took Isaac to church today. We tried to take him a couple weeks back, but he was miserable, I was getting sick and we wound up leaving early. This time around, we made it through the music and about 15 minutes of the teaching, but then he whined and stirred and I made a […]
