There are lots of difficult things about having a baby. One of the most frustrating things for me is that I never know when he will start screaming. It is hard for me to take advantage of his sleeping time because I don’t want to start anything I may have to abandon at any moment. Write a blog post? After I type a few sentences, he will probably start screaming and I won’t remember later what I was writing about, so why bother. Address Christmas cards? I have to search various places in our house to collect all the addresses, and he will probably wake up before I even find the first set of addresses, so why bother. Take a nap? He will probably scream two seconds after I fall asleep, so I would rather not even try. But I am going to try to talk myself into doing (or attempting to do) more while B sleeps, even if I get interrupted all the time. Hopefully, one thing that I will be able to do more is write here. I like having this outlet for writing, and I love reading comments from you guys. I have been able to keep up with all your blogs, and I will try to comment more too.
One good thing about having a baby is that I have rediscovered Gilmore Girls. I found out just a few days ago that it is on every morning at 10 am. The old ones from 2000 and 2001 when Rory just started at Chilton are so good. I had forgotten how mean Paris was, and how awkward the early Rory-Dean dating was, and how awful the relationship between Lorelai and her mom was. Yay, Gilmore Girls!
So are you wondering how I am doing with being alone ALL DAY (and also ALL NIGHT) with B? Pretty well. I have even left the house with him a few times. Ok, only three. But still! I survived it! I had to take B with me to the eye doctor this morning, and I had to hold him on my lap through half the eye exam, which was kind of awkward, but it worked out. At one point, B farted really loudly. I mean, if I hadn’t know it was B, I would have thought it was the doctor. LOUD. Luckily, I was not holding B on my lap at that point, so the doctor knew I was not the tooter.
I did not bring home frames to model for the internet this time, though I did order new frames. I am oddly excited about them and will post pictures when I get them in about a week.

I love Gilmore Girls. I think they are on ABC Family later in the day as well.
That B farting story is HILARIOUS! He’s so cute!
He’s just beautiful!
I rediscovered GG when I threw my back out. Our huge benefit when we had Miss O was the fact that we cleaned out our DVR and watched a ton of movies we didn’t think we’d like, but now can claim them. Like High School Musical, National Treasure and Sky High.
I watch those same Gilmore Girls reruns when they re-air at 5pm. I love them, even though I know what happens in the later seasons. Actually, I think I love the earlier ones MORE, knowing what’s going to happen in the later years.
Another cute picture!
You just gave me a brilliant idea. I’m going to carry around a baby at all times to cover up my own perpetual farting. Thanks!
But I’m going to see if I can get one in a non-screaming variety, because the idea of missing nap time makes me cranky.
It sounds like you’re doing a terrific job! And I cannot wait to see the new frames!!!
(I am terrified of one day having an extra-loud baby. I have major noise issues, and I think I’d lose my marbles.)
With every pregnancy and delivery I rediscovery “Cheaters.” I’m not sure what this says about my viewing pleasures.
If you had held him on your lap throughout the whole exam you could have farted at will and blamed it on B.
This would be the hardest thing for me I think- the unpredictability about how to schedule your time.
The child is gorgeous! Completely gorgeous and edible looking. Is it wrong that I just want to sniff his little neck to see if he has that lovely baby smell? Then I don’t want to be right!
He’ll settle into a schedule eventually, and you’ll learn to cherish those long afternoon nap times.
I’m the same as you, with the not wanting to start anything.
He just keeps getting better looking, too!
Yay for Gilmore Girls! I wish we had cable. Instead I just steal my sister’s DVD collections when I’m home.
He is insanely cute. I have no input on starting things or not seeing as I have no child, but I will say that I think you’re making the right decision. In fact, every decision you make? Totally Right.
I am cracking up! “Not the tooter”, AWESOME!!
I love GG, too! Except I kinda hated Logan and was weirded out when poor Lane got knocked up by the first guy she slept with…
R, he is just gorgeous. Gorgey-porgey, if you will. Also, I am relieved on your behalf that the doctor could not suspect you as the tooter. I’m also relieved that I’m not the only one to use the word “toot” these days. And, lastly, I loved those early seasons of GG with all of my heart.
xo!
I have apparently taken several sick days and random vacation days in the past year, because I totally knew Gilmore Girls is on ABC Family at 10! I am taking a random vacation day tomorrow, actually, but I am very much hoping to be out of bed and doing productive things by then, so as not to get sucked in yet again and waste half the day. Perhaps I will allow myself time to watch Ellen, though. You’ve discovered that she’s on at 9, right?
Blaming the baby for the farts. Shame on you! Hee.
Oh My hes so cute-is he a good baby -or does he have his days and night mixed up-you should nickname him tooter
I love that photo. He is so, so cute.
Cuteness! Now I know what H looked like as a baby!
