My Mac was saved! Everything is perfect and functioning as it should. I think we are going to break down and get another Macbook though since Mr. Silly’s PC is a piece of crap. I honestly don’t know how he hasn’t been complaining about it constantly because I would not be able to stand it. I was stuck with it for less than a week and I complained a lot. It wouldn’t let me check my email or update my Facebook status! It would get all wonky for no good reason. Stupid PC. So now Mr. Silly gets huge points for not being whiny and will probably inherit my 15″ Macbook while I get a 13″ Macbook. I’d like something smaller and more portable and he could use the bigger screen to watch movies on deployment. And then I can also get a huge ass desktop for photo processing and stuff like that. Win win!
And now on to the list!
- Doodle likes booby.
- And that’s pretty much the only thing he consistently likes.
- The swing? Rarely. And only for about 3 minutes.
- The bouncer? Pretty much never.
- The car/carseat? Meh. Sometimes. Sorta.
- Doodle does not like baths.
- Or being naked.
- Or being cold.
- He is quite possibly the gassiest, burpiest baby IN THE ENTIRE WORLD!
- He rarely likes sleeping in his pack-n-play at night. He prefers to sleep rightnexttomommy. Which means I don’t get to shift or turn or move. I am not a fan, but if it helps him sleep (and me sleep), we’ll go with it.
- I did not need to worry about Smushy being jealous.
- She is seriously an awesome big sister. Always helping and giving him hugs and snuggles. I am shocked!
- Smushy was a VERY easy baby. Doodle isn’t hard or anything in the grand scheme of all things baby, but he does amplify how VERY EASY Smushy was.
- The second time around is so much easier/harder than the first time.
- Easier because I don’t panic about every little cry. I feel like I know what I’m doing (a little. Sorta.)
- Harder because there are two of them and one of me. Sometimes (a lot) they both need something at the same time and I have to pick which to deal with first. Which means the other one is mad and yelly and grrr!
- You CAN have a good eater and a good sleeper at the same time. My theory has been debunked. Doodle eats. (see previous bullet) All. the. time. He sleeps well during the day and at night. Evening SUCK.
- When Smushy naps, Doodle is awake. That kinda stinks.
- Babies who eat a lot, poop a lot. I think I forgot how much babies poop.
- I have not yet figured out how to take care of 2 children AND the cleaning. It’s coming along, but I’m not there yet.
- I am an awesome c-section recoverer.
So now that I’ve crossed Have A Baby off my to do list, next we have Get Ready To Move (Again). (Didn’t we just get here? Like 7 months ago? The answer is yes. Yes we did.) We set up the internet move stuff last night. Movers should be here in about a month to pack us up. I am so not looking forward to a cross country trip in a car with a toddler and a baby who doesn’t love the car. We’ve worked out some of the details like where everyone will sit in the minivan (I will be in the back to deal with kid stuff.) and what we need to do to get ready and what we need to pack. It’s coming along.
Have some pictures!
