In the last couple of days, I haven’t really had any blog-worthy events take place. But, the sum of all the events certainly is blog-worthy. Let’s see….The monster has been sleeping a zillion times better. He eats, plays, gets fussy and lays down (on his belly, oh no!) and goes to sleep. Every now and […]

Spoke too soon
So, I wrote the last post and went to bed.About a half hour later, the boy awakened and was ready to eat. I fed him and laid him back down and waited for him to doze off like I wrote in the post. And it never happened. Finally, after trying the bed, the bassinet, his […]
12 weeks
Where does the time go? Isaac is 12 weeks old today. It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost three months since I met the monster.My body has almost fully returned to it’s normal shape. Just a few more pounds to go. Well, actually, I take that back. I don’t think the “shape” is the […]
On Our Own Again
(sung to the tune of “On the road again”….) My mom, Frankie and Jake left this morning, so it’s just the three of us again.It was a very productive weekend. The boy has started taking naps in his bassinet (vs. the bed or his papasan chair or with a human grownup). He also has been […]
Family Visit Update
My family has been here for two days now. On Thursday, my mom stayed with Isaac while I went to school. He was very good for her, so she doesn’t believe that he’s ever fussy. He’s got her snowed. When I got home from school, we went to the park. We took the ATS (All […]

Grandma Trip #3
My mom is coming again!She hasn’t seen Isaac T. since he wass 5 weeks old. He’ll be 11 weeks old tomorrow.He’s so very different, I wonder if she’ll even recognize him. I started back to school. There are 41 days left in the year. That’s all.
Happy Easter
For our easter, we went to church, where the boy slept the entire time in the nursery. We came home for a quick feeding and then headed back out to Derek’s parents. On the way there, Isaac fell asleep again, and slept through lunch. He woke up and sat pleasantly at the table with us […]
A Pleasant Surprise
Today, right after Derek’s mom came over to help with the boy, I heard the back door open. I looked through the kitchen, expecting to see Derek’s dad, only to see Derek Lidbom himself standing there. He had changed his flight and come home a day earlier (probably because of my alluding to possibly putting […]
The light at the end of the tunnel
I can see it! Derek will be home in a day and a half. This has been a VERY long week. I am quite exhausted. Derek’s mom is coming over tomorrow to help out, so that will be a relief AND it will help the day to go by faster. The boy is high maintenance. […]
