A Post That Does Not Contain the Words D-I-A-P-E-R or R-A-S-H
October 20, 2005
So yes, I suck with the updating all of a sudden. I tease you all by being all diligent and posting every day for awhile, and then my mom shows up to wait on me hand and foot and I decide that napping is much more fun than talking to InternetLand.
Well, it IS more fun. I'm sorry, but I'm tired. I even started an entry about just how tired I am the other day, but it mostly went like this: I am really tired. The end.
I also started an entry about the post office, but I never actually made it to the post office. I had some packages to mail to Zoot and started to walk to the post office, but the post office was ACROSS THE STREET and there was a FedEx store on the side of the street I was walking on and so I decided to FedEx the packages instead and nothing interesting happened at the FedEx store.
Except possibly the realization that no one holds the door open for me anymore, even if I'm laden with packages and a stroller and a newborn and still kind of look pregnant.
Not pregnant enough, apparently. Fucking assholes.
We did have a sort-of interesting lunch when two little old men came over to fuss over Noah, and then the one man went away and the other man would. Not. Leave. And. Kept. Calling. Noah. A. Girl. And telling the same stories over and over again. And asking the same questions over and over again.
My mom guessed it was Alzheimer's because she is Nice. I assumed he was drunk because I am Jaded and Suspicious.
Anyway, that's the kind of week it's been. Next week? I'm on my own and will surely come crawling back to InternetLand for amusement because I will have no one to talk to except a squalling infant. And while he's UNBELIEVABLY BRILLIANT (he stares at high-contrast black-and-white images! he can sort of smile! he craps his pants with great aplomb!), he's not so much of a conversationalist yet.
Sure is cute though.
Can't you see how tired I am? And yet the iced tea, she is decaf. Also, the pets are circling with plans to do away with the child in the high-waisted pants.
When he gets really good and mad, his face kind of blends in with the wall color.
Oh man. That face. You can almost go blind from the adorableness.
My eyes!
I think it's all been said already, but I have to repeat. Noah is just too cute. And your mom looks absolutely thrilled in every picture. And you look pretty great yourself despite being very tired.
so, i have to agree with the rest, your baby is mad cute, beyond the cuteness of most babies (who usually are not so attractive when they're super-little). wow.
about the stroller: i know you have to have it, and that you are probably really thoughtful about how you handle it. But a lot of us single people are scarred by other people we have encountered, wielding stroller, who have rammed us in the shins or prevented us from exiting subway cars or, worse yet, bought the giant SUV Bugaboo baby strollers and block off the whole sidewalk when they propel them down the street, baby-tank like. Forcing us in the way of cars. So we have a reflexive instinct of self-shin-defense and annoyance at moms who don't want to share the sidewalk, they want to take it over! this being to say that i am glad there are moms like you realize these things and who will counteract this image.
oy vey, i am afraid i will be bashed by your following. but i've helped many a mom, asked and unasked, carry their baby stroller down flights of metro stairs! i like moms! it's not black and white! it's just, there's often a (reasonable) history to the stroller-annoyance thing. and since it's taboo to mention it, i especially wanted to.
okay, back to your regular programming!
What is this? Your toenails are polished. Your powers never cease to amaze. :)
And yes, he's absolutely adorable.
And yes, the old man that wouldn't leave totally sounded drunk to me.
Ba ha ha ha
Baby Noah, still so darn cute.
Are you telling me that because I am pregnant random strangers are going to open doors for me? Will they also buy me ice cream? Because ice cream is what I really want.
awww I am melted by the cuteness! Has anyone mentioned the Mayawrap thingy yet? if not you might want to go look into them, I loved them when Hunter was younger, and it worked so much better in stores and places and ..yeah I really reccomend them.
However I am not a anti stroller nazi I do have and use a huge SUV stroller that I love to death and back. I just love the maya wrap too
awww, such a sweet baby face. I agree with Kathleen, he'll have a girlfriend by preschool!
You look great, I love your jeans.
Your little man is absolutely gorgeous. And it will blow your mind in three, four, five months and so on how completely gorgeous he still looks, but how completely different from what he used to look like. I look back at pictures of my son when he was a newborn and it just amazes me.
You all look blissful...really and Noah, what a sweetheart! SO adorable. I have to say that when I look at the photos of Jason, especially from the eyes up - Noah is exactly like him - the wider set eyes, whereas, YOUR NOSE is all over Noah! A perfect blend of the both of you in that one sweety!!! How's Jason doing with everything now? Happy to see your mom wrapped up with baby, too!
I want to hug him.
Noah and your mom look so happy and content. Those photos are just relaxing.
And there's Cieba!! Yay! That dog rules. I don't see a cast..did she get it off or is it just hidden?
Oh, one more thing:
Pic 2 is the kind that makes me go, "Oh hell no I'm not having a kid!"
Pic 4 is the kind that makes me go, "Hmm. Maybe I'm so very, very wrong to think like that."
He's an angel, just perfect and beautiful!
LOVE the pics of Noah. He is the only child I've seen recently who I think is maybe, possibly, almost as cute as my son. ;-) Look out, ladies!
(this is a HUGE compliment, please take it as such!)
Apparently being pregnant has sucked all available brain cells out of my head, because I forgot what I was going to say. Damn!
Oh! I remember! It was about the pants pulled up to baby's nipples! My husband constantly made fun of our son, saying I dressed him like an old man! I think it's adorable!
