Tiny Baby Steps

Each day, I get a little bit better at this, not so much because I'm improving but because you just learn, no matter what. This week was our 2 week well baby appt. TWO WEEKS!! I can't believe it's been that long already. Both babies are doing well-- fatter & happy. The doctor (who wasn't younger than me but damned close) explained all the little things that have been worrying me. He also told me about a magical elixer that made last night one of the first that we've slept well in those 2.5 hour spurts in a week since Sean's first puking episodes. Dimethylicone-- Mylecon is a brand name of it-- or, as you might guess-- ANTI- GAS drops!!! I am amazed that none of the doctors &/or nurses I have already spoken to mentioned these things. I even already had some in my baby pantry from having seen them on a shopping spree & thinking "hey, these will come in handy!" These babies, because I am a milk producing cow who had the lactation consultant literally making that worshipping-we're-not-worthy gesture at me. Cool. :)

But now, did you know that babies have a "growth spurt" about now? Which means that they go from eating every three hours to wanting to eat every two, or sometimes every one, hour? And when they're not eating, they are demanding to be held. I don't mind, except when I really really really need to get up to pee and the babies make that groany "aw, don't move us" noise. Little anchors, that's what they are.

Whew. Craziness. But all good. Just leaves me with not much time to blog, or anything remotely related to computers. How do working moms do this? Jeez.
