Hey hey, I’m back!
- I should be back to semi-regular blogging now, thankfully. It kind of keeps me sane.
- I think now, after one week and three days, baby Dakota and I have found our stride. She sleeps and eats well and she’s a generally happy baby. For now.
- I find that now that I am no longer pregnant, I enjoy things so much more: books, music, writing. I think the last few weeks of pregnancy tinge everything in this malaise; so much suffering! I am ever so glad to see glimpses of the former me.
- Oh, and I totally won a $100 gift card to Bonefish on twitter. They asked us to tweet a good reason to celebrate and I said I was having a baby. Sweet!
- It’s just me and Elliot hanging out this week so that’s interesting. So far, he’s not too annoying and we’re getting along. I have to keep him busy, that’s all.
- I think if he’s good, we’ll go to the ice cream shoppe that makes their own… and charges an arm and a leg. But it’ll be a fun treat.
- For a long while, I was into country music something fierce. I would say over the past 6-8 months, I sort of waned. But now, it’s starting to sound interesting again. Honestly, I need some new bands to listen to. Suggestions?
- I am ready for football season to begin! It signals the school year and Fall and running and the stumble towards Christmas. And I love all of that so much!
- Elliot is really into this friv website. Have you sen it? Basically, it’s a ton of mini games. When I let him play on his computer, that is what he’s doing, though I’d rather he be learning! I guess he is working on hand-eye coordination.
- Sadly, this is all I can spin up for random blogging day; the baby is a little testy this morning, as she had some blood drawn, and I have a long list of to-dos before Elliot’s birthday party on Saturday.

First off, congrats on being a 3x Mom! Dakota is a cute baby girl! Of course, I don’t think I have ever seen an ugly baby even though some people say they are out there. I find it hard to believe. lol How wonderful you’re settling into the whole new routine where she’s sleeping well. That was a huge problem with two of our kiddos. DD#1 wouldn’t hardly let me put her down at bedtime for months and DS had his nights & days mixed up for the first 6-weeks. Have a terrific Tuesday!
Sleep is golden in those first weeks–glad she’s letting you have some.
High five you you for winning the gift card, next it is great that Dakota is sleeping well and you are adjusting to being mum to a baby well being mum to a new born is different then being mum to a toddler or child they have their own way of being demanding.
Dakota– that’s a beautiful name!
Congratulations! Enjoy the new baby!
