Pumping frustration

Days like today when after I had to throw away 4 oz of milk in the morning because it had gone bad, it took me 45 minutes to pump 3 oz of milk are really really hard. Time to try and eat my lunch in 10 minutes.

My daughter, the future opera star?

We went to a party on Saturday night. Little b was a charmer all day, but she really let loose when she got to play with her friend G. It is so much fun now that she is interested in other babies!

Please sir, could I have some more?

B and I hadn't planned on giving the littlest b any real food until after the holidays, but she just seemed ready. Every time she saw us eat something ourselves, she was super interested, and it almost seemed like she was sad to not be getting to put more new stuff in her mouth too. Here is a quick little video of the second time we fed her rice cereal.

Swim or Crawl

OH MY GOODNESS!!! My little girl is getting so big so quickly.  She's even trying to crawl already!  Part of my loves seeing her learn new things and watching her as she develops her own little personality.  The other part of me wishes she would stay a tiny tiny baby forever (minus the sleep issues).

She's here!!!

Wow, this post is super late.  Our little girl (we'll call her the littlest b or little b) arrived on June 14th at 10:59am.  She weighed 7lbs 5 oz and was 21 inches long.  B and I are so excited to have her join us and have really enjoyed our last 6 weeks with her (WOW! 6 weeks already!!!).

Any guesses?

I think everyone knows that Batman is scheduled to join us on June 14th.  However, there are still a lot of things that no one knows: Name, birth time, weight, etc.  Does anyone care to take a few guesses?

Take a stab at guessing the following.  Also, since we don't have a name picked out yet any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Name:
Time of birth:
Weight:
Length:
Eye color:
Hair color:

Uncomfortable in my own skin

I must admit, except for my first trimester migraines and my heart palpitations I have been fairly lucky during this pregnancy.  Up until the last few days, I was relatively comfortable the majority of the time.  Yes, I had basic pregnancy complaints (edema, swelling, constant trips to the bathroom, etc) plus my share of special to me discomforts (see above migraines and heart palpitations) but I was really doing fairly well.  For the last 4 weeks I've been walking between 4-8 miles almost every single day.  I've been cooking and eating healthier for the last 9 months than I have in a long long time.  Unfortunately, now that I am in the final stretch of this pregnancy (4 days to go!!) I am extremely uncomfortable all the time.  I won't bore myself by running through the my list of discomforts because I'm not alone, most women go through this.  But man oh man I just needed to take a moment to complain and say - I'm tired of being uncomfortable.
