I should be sleeping...but instead I'm putzing around on here! I haven't done that in quite a while! :D Linda...I want to take pictures of her feet but can't figure out the darned close up feature on my digital. It's supposed to do macro but hell if I can get it to work! Barnmom, I don't think anyone has ever called my son "mellow." LOL(Just ask Chase and Stacy when we met them this summer!) He had his moments as a newborn, but I"m sure I've sufficiently blocked them out by now. Actually, he was usually all business at night time - would nurse 10 minutes per side, diaper change and back to bed. Sarah is a "one boob" girl and if she doesn't burp well enough, she promptly vomits it all back up on me. Niiice... Looking for the camera manual...

I've been sleeping odd hours lately too. Working in the early morning hours some days and sometimes later. Yesterday I decided to go to the weekend breakfast buffet at Old Country. Normally when I there I only go there on Sundays for some reason. Usually meet some people there. After eating, I decided to go see my cousin. Started thinking he'll be reading the Sunday paper ads. And I passed a meat market and it was open! I was surprised. What are they doing open on a Sunday??? I was pulling up to his place when it hit me it was Saturday, not Sunday! Gettin' old ain't all it's cracked up to be!

baby's at this age def. sleep and eat and that's about it. but if you want to keep him awake more during the day keep bright lights on and the window shades pulled. place him by a window where it is the brightest but don't let the sun get on him because he could overheat. when he is awake talk to him. he can't see too well yet but hold him close to your face and just talk to him. he will really like that. also sing to him or hum if you don't like singing. it's not to early to start a routine. my dd has slept through the nite (except for when i had to wake her to eat, she was a sleepy baby) since she was born. sometimes she'll stay up till midnight but then she'll sleep till around 9 - 10 and then after about an hr or two take another good nap:) enjoy your baby and congratulations!!! jayme

I too am tired and it is mostly from cooking for weeks, for the family working here on the house. Sometimes it is two meals a day. I think everything is aching. They have built 3 high retaining walls, painted all the windows and shutters on the front of the house, installed two new garage doors, two new garage door openers, two new kitchen windows and covered the trim on the outside of the doors and windows with aluminum so it won't have to be painted. Plus cleaned out the garage and re graded the drive to the back and spread crushed stone around. They are getting more stone today and will spread it around plus will start work on the patio door. They probably won't be finished when they get those things done as there are a lot of things around here that need repaired or replaced. So yes, I am tired :) Sue
