Mad skillz, yo! http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7293 Today is Katie's 6 week birthday! Woo! We drove out to Arizona on Friday and Katie was amazing -- especially considering that the drive took over 15 hours. She slept most of the time, and we stopped every few hours to give her some cuddles and let her eat/change her; we ... http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7292 Katie has been on drugs since Friday, and it makes me feel guilty. Over the past 2-3 weeks, the sheer volume that she's been spitting up after feedings has increased -- and it comes back up almost automatically, without effort. So, it was sort of stupid on my part that it ... http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7291 I love the Moby wrap way more than I thought I would. It's SO EASY to tie! And Katie really can conk out against me on it. (Of course, I still can't bend down to get stuff off the floor easily, but not having to use any arms to carry ... http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7290 When Brandon tried to open the living room blinds last Sunday, the drywall they were bolted in to gave way and they fell off, leaving most of our house visible from outside.

No one was ahead of us in line, which was awesome, and people were excited about a wee one being brought along. She started fussing while I was using the electronic voting machine so ... http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7288 Imitrex is my savior when I have crazy migraines... which have started up again now that I'm not pregnant. (I used to take a prophylactic medication daily that's not compatible with pregnancy; otherwise I'd get a migraine virtually daily.) So, after doing research on imitrex's compatibility with breastfeeding, I just ... http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7286 What is/was your beeb's preferred type of pacifier? I have a Gumpdrop, Soothie, MAM, and Playtex Ortho, for the record. http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7285 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ImagiNation_Network http://innrevival.googlepages.com/ My sister and I were sort of addicted to TSN. That's how I got my username AlisonBee (later to become alibee) and also how I met Dan and Mark, who I am still friends with. SO WEIRD! http://thesecretpage.binary-girl.com/blog/index.php?p=7284
