She then orders me to sit (we have separate shower and tub, and the shower has a seat) and she sits on my lap and just basks in the hot water. She has fallen asleep many times like that.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04316428349560770186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142956725229821612006-03-21T10:58:00.000-05:002006-03-21T10:58:00.000-05:00I think most preschoolers are eeriely similar, mos...I think most preschoolers are eeriely similar, mostly in their irrational thought process and unflagging need for attention. When WE applied the BabyRub to Elizabeth we told her it would make her feel better, I can only assume that when she woke up feeling crappy she remembered what we said and went straight for the feel-good goo.<BR/>I just can't believe that Bob didn't smell the application process in process, that stuff is STRONG!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142953595112591632006-03-21T10:06:00.000-05:002006-03-21T10:06:00.000-05:00Future Moo!I have so much to look forward to.

I find it hard to believe that they can get bigger. At least I have you guys to prepare me for the reality of it all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142951838171793852006-03-21T09:37:00.000-05:002006-03-21T09:37:00.000-05:00Sophie - There are certainly worse things he could...Sophie - There are certainly worse things he could call you. Chris ran through them all until he realized just how icky it really was. However, we do joke about it, frequently... I mean, what else can you do?<BR/><BR/>Jessey - GAH! Cluster feedings suck. Athena wanted to do NOTHING but feed when she was born. We had to supplement with formula just so I could go to the bathroom. I really didn't think I would make it with her. And yes! I was reading your blog to Chris last night (about the BabyRub) and I described Elizabeth as "Jessey's Athena."<BR/><BR/>Amy - There is nothing less sexy than a breastfeeding woman. AS for fooling around, I doubt Chris would touch them in their current state. Little too freaky. And your mother was very smart to scare you off that way. <BR/><BR/>J - I loved your blog entry when you explained why you gave up breastfeeding. I believe you put it most succinctly when you said, "Bite me."eafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08547811538309083481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142950027608849852006-03-21T09:07:00.000-05:002006-03-21T09:07:00.000-05:00God, I remember when my milk came in. Went to bed ...God, I remember when my milk came in. Went to bed with nice, albeit HUGE, supple breasts and woke up to two enormous rocks sprouting from my chest. Oh yes, the joy of milk coming in. And I have to agree that there is nothing really magical about breast feeding--I didn't even get the joy of a happily nursing kid. Lina just screamed and rooted and ended up getting so frustrated that I wound up pumping for a month just to give her bottles of breastmilk before switching entirely to formula. Gah! The things they don't tell you about motherhood!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142907154140805612006-03-20T21:12:00.000-05:002006-03-20T21:12:00.000-05:00Moo.My kid is having what they call "frequency day...Moo.<BR/>My kid is having what they call "frequency days" which basically means he wants to feast at my bosom every hour on the hour, regular life be damned.<BR/>I tolerated this yesterday, and for most of today, knowing that it was growth spurt related and it would build up my supply and blah blah blah...<BR/>but after six or seven or eight straight hours of nursing and crying and nursing, I HAD to give him a bottle.<BR/>And even THAT didn't make him sleep...it took a ride in the car to give me some peace, he's going on three hours sleep right now, the first three hours he's slept since he woke at 6 am, hungry and fussy.<BR/>I hate frequency days!<BR/><BR/>Oh, and congrats!!<BR/>Big girl and little boy, we're in the same boat!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13710413791490462220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13375242.post-1142906854752778682006-03-20T21:07:00.000-05:002006-03-20T21:07:00.000-05:00Elise is not here yet and Brian has already dubbed...Elise is not here yet and Brian has already dubbed me the "dairy bar". Magical experience? I don't know, but I will definitely give it a try. Sounds like Marcus is a happy and good baby, can't wait to meet him. I love him already :) Big hugs to all of you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
