I dont know how many calories..but he ate.

I know he had part of a jar of bananas, and most of a jar of apples and chicken, plus a bite or two of vegan waffle!

andmaybe 8 oz of neocate jr...

that is more than he has eaten in a week..

I dont know if its the medicine or not...he had only had one dose so far, but man we are glad..

now to see if he eats again tomorrow..

horah for schuyler!
eat. eat. eat.....

hilger left before i woke and didn't get home till 9-30 tonight. boy am i tired.

hattoo- so happy that i could make you laugh- i don't know if anyone else did. sometimes it is like a graveyard around here. that drugging stuff is serious though- i just can't beleive it. people are absolutly insane.

emmy- can't wait to see the halloween pictures! does cully have enough hair for a mohawk?

fey and kat- hope you all start feeling better soon.
goodnight, mcs

[twouglyducks]

Yay Schuy!!! :

[mcs]

hey, speaking of a graveyard, where is everyone? we are headed into the city today to get our family pass to the nyu gym and to our friends poetry reading. i hope that eisa will sit still for that, but i guess that i will be entertaining her in the hallway. hopefully they have snacks!
i went to tj max yesterday and bought a wooden tool set for only seven dollars, i would also like to get eisa a set of musical instruments for christmas- any suggestions?
and on a sewing note- i am going to buy two of those indian silk/wool scarfs in china town and make them into curtains for the living room. my idea is to buy them in white and draw up a design for my print maker friend to print onto them. i am having trouble designing something that i like though- it was much more simple as just a thought. the sewing should be a cintch though.

well, they are doing construction outside of our house and the noise is making me crazy! i am going to make an escape to tthe kitchen.

eat schuyler eat. eat......
this is my days mantra.

Congrats bama!

I'm so glad Schuyler ate for you. By the way, I love the name Schuyler.

[SharonAnne]

Yay Schuyler!!! EAT, BOY, EAT!

mcs, forgive me for being dense, I'm sure you posted about this, but...are you guys back in SI? If you are, when are you free for a get-together/playdate thingie?

[anabellee]

Schuy
keep up the good eating!

[mclisa]

Schuyler! Way to go! I can't wait for the day you are complaing about the grocery bill because he is eating you out of house and home!

Glad to us on page one!

Claire still has a runny nose. She doesn't seem too crabby about it. It's just annoying because it is so constant.

DH is starting to enjoy kindermusik more.

Claire discovered raisens this weekend. She loves them. We're going to get some so she can munch on them at church.

[Meli65]

Yay, Schuyler!

Mcs, that all sounds so much like big city fun. A little jealous here.

We went to the Natural History Museum with my mom today, which was good fun -- it is kind of old-fashioned, much of it hasn't changed since I went as a kid. Unfortunately though Danny seems sick -- he's a little feverish and his pee smells awful. Hope this passes soon.

[anabellee]

i hate how winter brings sick babes

hope everyone feels bette soon!

[mcs]

i am just stepping in to save us from page 3.

preg.michelle- i just saw a little family music place here the other day and was thinking that it would be fun for the winter blues- so, does claire like it, does she "get" it? what exactly do they do?

sharron anne- yup, i'm back and it would be real nice to get together some time. i think that your schedule is a little more scheduled than mine, so let me know when a good time would be. we should have a house warming party in a few weeks- you could come for that if we don't meet before.

melissa- you asked before if i miss the country and the answer is- not really. i am pretty bothered by this weeks construction starting at seven, but i am really feeling good to be back with people. i wouldn't be too jealous about a poetry reading though- aha! i don't know what i was thinking! it was in a little studio with no place to take eisa- she was really good, but even a "good" baby is too loud for an event like that. what was most embarassing though, was that this lady who read a poem had her maybe 3 or 4 year old daughter there and she made an apology for her behavior and said that they would be leaving right after she finished! this little girl was so sweet and they didn't bring her toys or anything and then the mother wanted her to sit in the very front and just be quiet. give me a break.

also, a lady from an advertising company was there and she said that gap was looking for baby models and that i should take eisa. i won't, but i really like the compliment. kinda stupid of me, i know, but still i like it.

i miss nancy too.

ok, i have rambled quite long enough- that should take us to the top of the top of page one again.

[bamamom]

he's still eating!! he also has an icky runny nose now..bleh. it has been cold here, and is going to hit 61 tomorrow, then cold for good.

its also going to rain ALL day tomorrow.

He is doing well eating tho..he ate restaurant chicken and potatoes yesterday, and ate some bfast for me this am.

[mclisa]

bama: what was the name of the new med? Wow is he ever eating!

mcs: at kindermusik DH and Claire are in the very intro class. In hindsight, the class that starts at 18 months might have been better, but they can do that next. At this class the kids can range in age from a few weeks up to 18 months. There is a lot of parent/baby bonding. Singing to your child, cuddling, etc. Very touchy feely. Claire is liking the songs, but she is one of the more mobile kids, so she does walk around alot in class. She likes looking at the babies.

Claire was trying to drink her babyfood last night. She took the jar and was holding it up and trying to drink from it. Crazy girl.

Sorry for all you grey's fans. Just reruns for you tonight.

[twouglyducks]

Hi Ladies! I've posted here a few times in the past, but I'm mostly in the May '05 group since dd was due in may...
But I thought I'd pop in and say hi to everyone. I can't believe how big dd is getting. We are just getting over being sick here, too, it sucks. She hates being sick, it makes her mad when her post nasal drip makes her choke. I was just looking on my wall of the Christmas portrait we had taken of her last year, it's amazing how much she's grown in a year. I can't even believe it. She was such a baby last Chrismas and now she's just getting so big.

I'm pregnant again and this babe has the same exact due date as dd... we'll see if it's actually born in May this time, though I doubt it since dd was 15 days past her edd. It's been hard being pg and keeping up with her. Especially her nursing demands. I actually just night weaned her to make nighttime a little easier on me. She was such an avid night nurser and I never thought it would happen, but it was suprisingly easy to wean her. It only took two nights of rocking/cuddling/crying for about 10-15 minutes and that was it. Then she would whine a little when we would get into bed, but now, it's been a week and a half and she just lays down with me and snuggles. She likes to lay on top of me to fall asleep, which is something she never did before, and unfortunately won't be able to do for long since I'm sort of starting to show... but I'll enjoy her warm cuddles for now. Well, my preggo belly is starting to feel really hungry all of the sudden so I better go make myself something to eat before it gets crazy... you know how it goes...

[mclisa]

Isn't that crazy to have the same due date! Cool!

[anabellee]

rescuing us from page 2.
come everyone! i need an excuse not to do homework!!!

[KYouell]

Personals... I'm going to split them up so I don't lose one giant post.

Bama
I guess MCLisa figured out a way to help you remember my screen name. And here I was worried that it seemed like I was in or from Kentucky. I'm sorry to hear about the feeding tube trials and delay, especially since he seems to want to eat, but so glad to hear that he did with the meds.

We had our own (much smaller) scare with DS' weight. A month ago he was back to the weight he was last December (pre-surgery) so the doc said to feed him more as long as he's signing "more" unless he's eating til he pukes. So we did. You would not believe the amount of food he can put away. No wonder he was banging his head on the floor and screaming when we would stop feeding him before! I felt like I had been abusing him, albeit unwittingly, but still! We went for a weight check today and he's up to 16lbs 4oz which means he gained over a pound in the past month. So, luckily, no referral to a nutritionist. I just get to spend 1-1.5 hrs feeding him at each meal. I will be so glad when I can put lots of bites on his tray and they'll go in his mouth instead of mostly on the floor. That boy really prefers a clean tray! Anyway, I know my story is nothing like yours, but I was sure on pins and needles for the last month.
