ds doesn't say much. just "mama" "dada" and "this"

[bamamom]

woohoo!
we just picked up our first shipment of donor milk! 7 whole ounces!

Ds already drank half of it!

i am so grateful to that mama..I have friends from all over donating breastmilk storage bags to us for the cause..

Fey--
What kind of camera do you have? It takes awesome pictures. Something I haven't been able to acheive yet with digital photos are great indoor photos. Yours look awesome.
I recently sold my Olympus on ebay because I wanted a smaller camera. It was so hard to hold that camera and take care of two kids at the same time. So I "traded" in for a slim camera. I got a Fuji Z3 (breast cancer awareness edition!). So far I like it but it's not doing what I want it to do. I still have a few days to return it so I'm kind of wondering if I made the right decision.
I sold my Olympus for almost $100 which shocked me. It's broken and I stated it very clearly in the auction. Interestingly enough most of the bidders were foreign and the winning bidder was from BC. I got a really nice email which looked very polite but was completely in french lol!! I should have posted it here for translation
But anyhow, between a little birthday money and my auction I paid for the new camera.
I probably posted these to the yahoo group but in case I didn't, I have a bunch of video clips of Shea and the bus stop (humor me).
www.dropshots.com/gusssss
The camera takes pretty good clips at 640x480. The best I saw some of the newer Olympus slim models take were the 300 something by whatever something lol... Not that that's important or anything. I also got a gig card off of ebay for just about $30 which rocks! 8000 pics if I take the lowest resolution, 400 with the highest which is great.
Oh yeah, Shea is suddenly into the Doodlebops. I caught them at someone's home while doing an insurance exam and thought she'd like them so I set the dvr for it... She liked it initially but wasn't too interested. Then this week I started showing it to her again and she's HOOKED. I start to go "doot doot doot..." and she high tails it to the tv and sits in the chair, starts laughing and clapping before it even goes on. It almost is frightening. But as long as it isn't the t.v. in general right?
I have a clip of that too lol!!!!
K, I should really go through the posts so I don't make it all about me, and so I can address the latest goings on with you ladies!!
TTFN

[anabellee]

gah! you are a brave mama for watching the doodle bops. yikes. they drive me batty. although, we dont' have any sort of cable so ds only watches them twice a year when we're in MI visiting

yay for schuy's donated milk! i hope it helps his tummy!

[Karennnnn]

Eh, not really watching it lol... When she watches it I use that time to catch up on paperwork or make phone calls.
But I can still hear it which isn't that bad until you wake up in the middle of the night and the freaking songs are still in your head!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[bamamom]

yeah, mine like the doodlebops from time to time.

I am having ferocious issues getting enough stuff down him...grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

and now I'm on the hunt for medela pump parts..i loaned mine out to a friend in need, and gave her my SNS, and my flanges for my medela pump. Now she's still using them, and i have to get more!

Making breakfast...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[hattoo]

Karen - Shea's such a cutie pie and so much hair!!!! Sage has enough that I can do pigtails but it's growing mullet-style so I may have to break down and cut it eventually.

Bama - Wishing you the best on relactating and looking forward to reading all about your journey. I think that's incredible. Good to hear Schuy's eating something finally!! I know it's a hard road but your posts do seem a little more positive these days.

Pregger Update - I'm 23 weeks and have decided to call our "unknown" BamBam. This little one can kick!! Sage kissed my bare belly today, which melted my heart.

I thought Sage was working on her molars because I can feel the lumps under her gums and she's been incredibly cranky for over a week. However, last night, I saw an eye tooth that had poked through! It's slipped back today but I've heard the eye teeth are the worst ones (maybe a wive's tale? I don't know) so am feeling better about her attitude. It's always nice when there's a reason behind it. It gives me a new dose of patience. She seems pretty happy today, so here's hoping.

Happy Anniversary to all you fall married ladies! Here's to getting lucky on the big day!!!

[fuzzypeach]

Ugh, I've written (and rewritten) two nice long posts in the last few days but they've both been lost by me hitting the wrong button or closing the window on accident... here's hoping third time is the charm.

hattoo - So cute about Sage kissing your belly!

Karen - I have a Nikon D50. Not small by any means, but it is an awesome camera and worth every penny. I lurrrrve it.

Emmy - Hehe, too funny about Cully stashing your phone.

Mcs - Elaina says lots of words, but many of them are 'marble-mouthed' and nobody but me would recognise them. Elaina isn't eating much solids right now either, but is having lots of milkies so I'm trying not to worry. She's got a bottom molar coming through so I think that might have something to do with it... who knows.

Bamamom - best of luck with relactating!! How awesome of your friends to donate milk and a pump!

Davina - Elaina is all about the shoes too She says, "hi, shoes!" and "hi, socks!"

I'm a 5'6"... and apparently a 34 F . I bought the new bravado lifestyles bra in the biggest size they had, E, but it was too small.: I've apprently been wearing the wrong isze for a long time...

[Karennnnn]

hattoo--ah the beloved baby mullet. Well, Shea actually has interesting hair. She has long hair on top, and underneath it's short; too short to even pull into two seperate buffy tails. So she looks almost punk; hair pulled up, but the rest short, almost like she cut it or shaved it lol!
It's been growing for a while now, but very slowly. It will be nice when it's all in to make her hair thicker, but I'm guessing at that point it will have to be maybe trimmed unless it grows into decent looking layers which is possible.

Shea doesn't say anything (I don't think!) She makes words/sounds for animals, I *think* she says "see??!" when she sees a plane in the sky or something she likes. I remember her brother being very grunty rather than using many words. I realllllly need to look at my journal; I have a lot of that written down.
She says mama, but I don't know if she's really saying mama. Same with dad/dada. It's one of *her* words and not necessarily what it sounds like, kwim? For instance if she needs help or is frustrated she'll say mama mama in a low tone.
I'm freaked out for her to really start talking. That makes her more REAL! LOL!! In other words, they're growing up. Wah.

I'll have to look up your cam, Fey! My other one was kind of a clunker. I tried out some of the digital SLR's while looking for my current camera. I can't tell you the wonderful feeling that washes over you when you hear it take a picture and then you see how awesome it is on the lcd. It's almost like firing a gun because it feels powerful lol!!

Off to bed.....
Karen

[anabellee]

bama- would you like me to mail you the sns you gave me back to you? i'm hoping that i won't need it this time around.

[anabellee]

good morning! where is everyone?

[mcs]

yea- where is everybody?
it is a sleepy monday here. we slept in till 9! and somehow that has made me sleepy. hmmm.
had a nice weekend- went to a picnic thrown by our midwives and then out for dinner with friends on sat. and a birthday party for the little just-adopted baby that i keep talking about. geez is she cute!
i think that i am officially in the I WANT A BABY! club. i am ready. i think.
nothing much else.
the picnic was in prospect park in the uppity part of brooklyn and i can just never get over these kids clothes- they are so cute and soooo expensive. we were the medicaid family of the practice and it showed- our stroller found in the trash and eisa's hand-me-down overalls. i did score one point for me though- one of the midwives said to me after seeing our pictures of the trip to germany (when eisa was three months) "yea, they were great pictures, but you looked so tired" That means- you looked terrible. and when i see the pictures now, i agree. even so....
so, i really wanted to look good and fit and like i had my figure back in shape and my eyes wide and alert and.... she said "you are looking so good....."

ok, someone elses turn to ramble on. emmy and fey- happy anniversarys!

karreen- the videos were adorable!

[mclisa]

I thought I posted something over the weekend, but apparently I didn't send it. I'd bet that it is on my home computer just waiting.

I've been thinking of ordering some things from here for Claire to eat. She doesn't have any molars yet so I'm debating how well she'd be able to chew these. I'm hoping that maybe M or E would eat more fruits/veggies by sneaking these in. I just need some options once winter sets in and it is harder to find fresh fruits for Claire to eat.

It is gorgeous outside right now! I spent my lunch hour eating outside. Need to enjoy that while I can.

Yesterday the baby sitter painted Claire's toenails. She looks so funny with red little toes.

mcs: you are ready for another baby! They'll be 2 years apart. It will be just fine!

[ex-stasis]

I meant to post on Friday but I wasted all my online time stalking the Kathryn threads (for those who don' tknow... she gave birth to triplets at home on Friday and it was pretty much being chronicled in TAO by people who were IMing with people present at the birth). It was pretty cool.

I was 9 weeks on the weekend and maybe.... maybe maybe... starting to feel a bit better. But I'm trying not to get my hopes up because with Istra I was sick until around 16 weeks.

We're telling family this weekend (which is Thanksgiving in Canada and also the same occasion we told everyone about me being pg with Istra... we like the symmetry!)

Other than that, living in absolute squalor and working on my Thesis... the proposal was well-received by my supervisoing prof, so I'm feeling optimistic about it. But the reading is killing me.

mcs - get busy, girl.

bama - that is so cool that you've already got something happening in the relactating dept! I wonder how long it will take for milk to come in. How is Schuy doing with the donor milk?

[bamamom]

yeah, i was totally stalking the kathryn thread too! i cant wait for her to post pics..

[mcs]

bama- how exciting to get colustrum already! is the process the same as if you were lactating for adoption or whatever? i mean, were expecting results so quickly?
not the same at all but....my sister did not start nursing till 11 days after her first daughters birth and she had no problem- i love that story because it is such the oppisite story from what you usually hear.

one of my best friends called to tell me today that she is pregnant with her second!

a baby for me...i guess we are trying, but not with any thermometers or charts- just sex. ha.
the hitch is that i have only had two periods and they were two months apart- so i don't know "how" fertile i am. time will tell.

selena- happy that you are feeling better- i have heard a lot of people say that each pregnancy is different- so mabye you really are over it. good news too that your thesis is going well.
poor dh is having such a hard time with his supervising prof. He hasn't given him any time since june. he sais "lets meet next week to set up an appointment for a meeting"
he is pretty much just a jerk. imo.
ok, over and out.
melissa, davina, sharron anne, michelle, grace, amy, nancy, bonnie, and the list goes on.....let us know if you are around
mcs

[bamamom]

I wasnt really expecting anything so soon...but i prayed that i would have success!

[anabellee]

go for it mcs!!! come join our pg club and i wish i could still sleep in...damn school!!!!

woo hoo bama! that's awesome

selena-i'm at almost 20wks and i'm STILL feeling sick:

pgmichelle- we give ds v8 fusion because it has veggies in it and we can't always get some down him. it seems to be working well. mainly on days when he's not in a "solids" mood.

[anabellee]

sns is in the mail bama!
