I had a dream the other day that I was cat-sitting and I was
told that the cat liked to be put in the microwave for five seconds because it
made him feel “all warm inside,” apparently quite literally. Well, I accidentally put the cat in the microwave for five minutes instead of five seconds. Kitty
was reduced to a skeleton. Why brain, why? Why do you put these images in my
dreams? Terrifying.
Oskar found his foot yesterday and hasn't let go since. He
has also started to learn that when he brings both legs up to his tummy he can
tip to his side. One of his favorite things right now is to sit on the couch
like a big guy right next to his mom. It’s very cute. Although Oskar usually
looks a lot like Dan, he got my giant eyes. Dan said to me, “look at his face he
looks super crazy because he made one of his eyes bigger than the other.” “No
Dan, that’s just the way our eyes are. One is bigger than the other.” Thanks
for making us feel good about it.
Our little man is four months old today. He is super heavy
and tomorrow at his appointment we are going to check to see if it’s okay to
start him on solids. I’m so sick of feeding him. I don’t care if you think I’m
selfish and don’t you even dream of telling me the benefits of breast milk
through the first birthday and how somehow my baby will end up messed up
because I plan to have him weaned by six months. I've heard it all and I
honestly don’t care for opinions anymore. Believe what you want; my kid is
super healthy (thank God) and has had at least 2-4 oz. of formula every day
since his third day of life. I’m sick of being in pain when I wake up in the
morning and when life interferes with our feeding schedule, I’m sick of getting
punched in the face and kicked in the ribs because no matter what I do he will
not eat calmly, and I’m sick of all the stains on his clothes being from me
dropping my food on him because that is the only time I have time to eat. I
have a feeling I will be much happier when breast feeding is done. Sorry for
the rant.
We made chili again yesterday because Dan is going out of
town for a few days and it’ll be easy for me to prepare it alone. Also, we
ended up getting about eight inches of snow so it turned into a great weekend
for chili. Anyway, my entire left hand ended up being proof that water
increases the effects of capsaicin. After making the chili, I gave Oskar a
bath. My goodness my hand hurt so badly the rest of the day. Oskar was not
injured.
I hope to buy my plane ticket today and purchase some more
suitcases. Barb offered to come up and help me fly home with Oskar, so I’m
looking forward to having that help. I was kind of nervous to do it on my own.
Dan said he knew he was used to living in Alaska the other
day when he was on a run because he came across a moose and was annoyed instead of excited.
As mentioned above, he is going to Seattle to go to the intern gathering. He is
looking forward to running around Seattle in the rain and getting a little work
vacation. Considering his only break from work since we got here was two weeks
with a newborn child, I’m sure he probably needs a little break.
Enjoy your Sunday everyone, or the rest of whatever day you are reading this on.
