Last time I was updating I had just returned from a long, involuntary hiatus and incredibly uncomfortable from a pregnancy-induced liver cholestasis. I was also only 4 days away from meeting out little boy, but I didn't know that back then. Now, our little guy is already a month old (can't believe that!!), currently sleeping on the couch next to me, being simply incredibly adorable :-) What else is going on here right now??
I'm currently...
... reading: My weekly cultural/political magazine, and about to tackle Christopher Moore's "Sacré Bleu", which I simply couldn't get into before.
... trying: To be better about going to bed early; and since this effort is mostly futile, I try to get naps whenever I need them.
... anticipating: Lily's first day of elementary school next week.
... buying: Clothes for Calvin, last items off Lily's school supply list, a lamp and curtains for Violet's room.
... lusting for: everything fall.
... enjoying: this incredibly sweet baby smell.
... cursing: All the paper work we had to file after Calvin was born; but we're about done for now, I hope :-)
... listening to: John Lennon, Simon & Garfunkel.
... watching: Doctor Who.
... devouring: pumpkin bread.
... waking up: Whenever Calvin does.
... feeling: very, very lucky to have such a wonderful family and to be able to spend tons of time with all of them now.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
Sounds like a perfect September and definitely can't wait to hear about Lily's first day now next week :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been really good so far :-) And with Lily talking about nothing but her first day of school, I can't wait for it to finally be Tuesday :-)
DeleteI'm not so good at the going to bed early thing either and have also been trying to sneak in naps wherever I can! Pumpkin bread sounds delicious, but i'll have to wait a while before they're in season over here :)
ReplyDeletePumpkins are just coming into season, and I can't wait for tons of pumpkin goodness :-)
DeleteSounds like a very peaceful September! I'm making my first stew of fall today - a sure sign that it's actually here!
ReplyDeleteStew sounds awesome! Might have to break out the crock pot for some veggie stew next week :-) It's definitely been a good month so far!
DeleteI think I'm addicted to baby smell. I'll nurse Marty at night and end up just rocking him well past when he's fallen asleep just sniffing his head. It's a problem!
ReplyDeleteI usually am way too zoned to really enjoy the smell at night-time nursing sessions, but I am known to spend an hour (or three) during the day just holding him and sniffling his head :-)
