:Happy Birthday Noah!!! :
Feel better soon, big boy!

And happy birthing day, Michelle!

I'm back to tell y'all that I have discovered the source of Brynn's unusual mood this past week: she got a new tooth! Number 5 cut through her bottom gums last night and don't I feel like a dummy for not having figured that out until *now*. DUH! So, poor punkin. I'm sure its mate will be popping up in the next few weeks as well, so at least I'll be expecting it.

On a totally different note, I am addicted to my new blog!! It is so satisfying and creatively fulfilling to me. And, since my biological clock is obviously haywire, whenever I have insomnia at 4:00am, it gives me something productive to do. So now that I've made the entry for today (all about Brynn EATING, y'all! She's eating, finally!), I'm going to see if I can go back to sleep for an hour or so.

Fern, can't wait to hear how it's going with the new babe!

[flapjack]

Hey, a tooth! I wouldn't kick yourself too hard Amy, the thing about teething is that it's only obvious in retrospect. Way to go on the eating- Skye is suddenly waking only once a night since my milk supply shot up so there is hope, I promise.
I know what you mean about blogging, though- anyone fancy a Nov05 blogring? It might get Fern to update more frequently (I'm teasing, I know you're busy with new babies) and keep the rest of us in touch.
Anyone remember the saga of my diet Coke addiction? Well, I'm nearly off the junk- I have a star chart and every time I drink something that isn't coke, I get a star. If I get 8 stars in a day, I get to spend one pound on yarn, and hopefully, by the end of 6 weeks I'll have enough to justify spending the money that I was going to spend anyway on the cardigan I was going to knit anyway : And yes, I know star charts are bad GD, though I forget why, but sod it, I get a kick out of drawing little crayon stars on my chart. Anyhow, since I've been low-coke, I've noticed that my milk supply has shot up to the extent that the baby who has been drinking from 2 breasts for- like, forever- is now often satisfied with one at a time. Is this weird or what?

: : Happy Birthday Noah Sage!: :

flapjack, I'd add my myspace blog to the Nov05 blogring... can't promise I'd update it any more than usual thogh... It's usually just random musings. They tend to come in spurts, 5 in a week, then nothing for 2 weeks, etc....

Fern: I hope all is well in your home. I know you must be very busy adjusting to your new (and happy!) situation. Let us know how things are going!

[DreamsInDigital]

Is Noah really our last DDC baby?
Happy birthday sweet one!

[barcelona]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOAH!!!!

I hope you're both feeling beautifully today!

fern~ can't wait to hear about the baby boy in your home and in your arms.

*amy*~ hooray for brynn eating!
...finley seems very similar to brynn in the eating department, and last night, for the first time ever, he kept asking and asking for more and more manchego cheese! i was so excited. now i'll have to make sure he gets plenty of blueberries in too, per spughy's suggestion to you.

and flapjack~ congrats on cutting out the diet coke! i used to be an addict myself, years ago, and it feels so good to be rid of the junk. i understand the struggle, though. kudos to you, mama!

How do we go about setting up a blogring? My blog is http://www.photogrove.com/journal - I update several times a week. We started it as a way for our families to get almost daily updates on our kids, since we live almost 1000 miles away! When we move back to Virginia next spring, I wonder if I'll be as good about updating... Maybe, its become a habit now, after all.

Ellie has suddenly increased her nursing quite a bit the last few days! I don't mind, but I just don't know why. I guess she's about to have a growth spurt.

[MamaFern]

Happy Birthday Noah and Michelle!

[spughy]

FERN!! What about your new baby!!!! No fair teasing us like that!!!

Helen - the reason your milk supply increased so dramatically is that by drinking something other than diet coke, you are suddenly HYDRATING your body instead of dehydrating it. Diet coke is a wicked diuretic. And evil and bad in so many other ways. You will probably find that you actually lose some weight by giving it up, too, since your body is not reacting to the artificial sweeteners any more.

They're finally paving our road today! Yay! The actual end of roadworks! Finally!

[*Amy*]

Yeah, Flapjack. That stuff is BAD. Yay for you for getting off of it!!

QoC, I love your blog! I never knew about it. Killy is getting SO BIG; I dont' think I've seen pics of him since we were all pregnant! He looks so much like you, too. That icon of the slinging Mama you have is really cool too. OK, I am so mortified to have to ask this, but what is your first name? I know I knew it back when...but it's disappeared from my brain. : Anyway, do you mind if I link to you from my blog? Oh, and your carseat poncho sounds so cool. Do you have apic of it?

Seriously Fern. What a tease!!

[Queen of Cups]

Amy - you crack me up! My name is Jen - considering that I was born in the '70s in America, you could probably have guessed it! (The funny thing is, my parents only knew one person growing up in their town named Jennifer, so they thought it was unusual.) Of course you can link to my blog! Killy is quite the big boy, and now that's he's talking ALL THE TIME, he comes up with the funniest things that have me just rolling in the floor most days. Its funny, he looks soooo much like me (check out our baby pictures) while Ellie is a clone of DH (check out this picture from Easter)!

[Queen of Cups]

Oh, yeah - the slinging mama icon was designed by my hubby. Its supposed to be me, I had the ends of my hair dyed pink and blue a couple years ago. And, I'll try to add a pic of the poncho on my blog sometime later today. Right now I'm off to catch up on laundry (5 clean loads to put away - am I the only person who doesn't mind washing and folding but hates actually putting away clothes?)...

[kaspirant]

Can I join you ladies...I didn't find MDC until after DS was born and I've been lurking around. I was on PregnancyWeekly but the board is super mainstream and I don't fit in their very well. I am learning the ropes here at MDC and would love to be a part of a *tribe*

[flapjack]

Of course you can- but we need more information about you. Who are you, and where's the Arch?

[spughy]

Welcome, Kaspirant!!! Of course you can join us! It'd be nice if you post a bit about yourself. D'ya have a blog? We're all about the blogs today apparently

I just started a livejournal.

[spiritmomma]

Haven't posted to my blog in a while, but I'm at www.myspace.com/jaymitharp

Happy birthday Noah!!!

Welcome, kaspirant.

I'm blogless, and trying to limit my time spent on the internet (without great success). But I enjoy reading all of yours

And congrats on the diet coke elimination, Helen. Can you believe that the hospital where I'm working has a free soda fountain for patients and staff on L&D, and presumeably on other wards, too? Please tell me this isn't standard in the US :

Q of C- I hate putting laundry away, too. Most of all I despise matching up and folding socks.
