Please don’t hate me for it, but I had a relatively easy time nursing my kids. It wasn’t complete bliss or anything, considering that both boys refused to take a bottle. (Yes, I tried everything short of sending Santi down to the basement with the baby with strict instructions not to resurface until the bottle…

Sleeping…
Everybody’s sleeping these days. Sunday night, I put Daryoosh in his crib at 7:30. He was wide awake, of course, once his head hit the crib mattress. I talked to him a little bit and then turned on the mobile. I left the room and waited for desperate baby cries. Nothing but silence ensued. He…
weirdo. I know.
Yes. I finally bought the crib mattress but I already miss the baby. Three months in the bassinet and he already seems too big for it. Yago moved to his crib at 3 months. He was sleeping 6 hours at around that time, and as long as it was after 4am I would bring him…
Obama Baby Boom?
Interesting article from the UK: Obama Baby Boom? I found this to be interesting, but don’t look at me. I am still fresh off the hospital bed.
The anxiety all over again.
I LOVE having a newborn! I had forgotten how cuddly little babies can be. Falling asleep on my chest, the baby squeaks, the baby grunts, and the joy of that first on-purpose smile…I am loving every minute of it! But, a newborn also means that again I have to face the articles, the arguments, the…
Along for the ride
I’ve been “wearing” Daryoosh as often as possible. First to the mall, then to a friend’s son’s baptism, and even around the house when I need free hands and don’t feel like leaving him with the babysitter, uh, I mean the swing. If anyone’s in the market to try a sling here’s a contest to…
It's officially no more Todo Yago
Happy Birthday Daryoosh! Well, It’s official. Yago is a big brother. I’ll have to think about a new title for the blog soon, won’t I? We headed for the hospital at around 5:25. Yes, we were supposed to arrive at 5:30. Oops. We walked into the hospital at 5:35. Only five minutes late! Good thing…
Baby #2 update…
Well, it looks like I’ll be walking around at 2cm until there’s some pitocin around (considering that’s where I’ve been since 36 weeks!)…and while I wouldn’t have dreamed of getting induced before my actual due date with Yago, I find great comfort in knowing that everything will be in place when I go for induction…
Doc update
Yesterday the doctor said she’d give me a 60% chance that I don’t make it to my appointment next Tuesday. Scary. Very scary. I am still at about 2 cm and 70% effaced. The doctor said that I look ready and I’m a great candidate for induction if I make it to 39 weeks and…
