Can't... resist... must... post...

Let it be known that I have tried REALLY HARD to stop my blog from turning into the stereotypical "mom blog" now that I have kids (you know, the ones that just post tons of pictures of their kids all the time and only write about weight percentiles and lists of new words the wee one knows and developmental milestones like how the baby learned to drool...). While some posts about those things are fun for record keeping and journaling, if every post is about that I find I lose interest in the blog pretty fast. Hence I've tried to still include things that are going on with Adam and me (things we're doing, things we like, things that make us laugh, things about life) and not turn every post into "Oh, would you just look how cute my baby is?"

But, for the love people, would you just look how cute my baby is? Red bows? "I luv my daddy"? Sitting up so straight--SMILING-- with little hands folded so perfectly in her lap?? It's too much! 

And THIS one!! As sweet as the cupcake she's wearing! Those eyes. That little perfect smile and face filled with so much love and innocence. Melts me.

Does blogging about anti-mom-blogging philosophies counteract the actual mom blogging?

In case it doesn't, would it make us feel better if this post included a humorous story or two? 

To help Jenna gain more weight the doctor has told us we need to wake her up in the middle of the night for an extra feeding, so that's what we've been doing for the last month or so. A real kick in the pants since they've been sleeping soundly through the night (for nine hour stretches) since they were eight weeks old and now we have to disrupt that?! What if she doesn't go back? But of course her health is the most important thing and if sacrificing a little sleep in the short run gets her on the charts then it's worth the changes for all of us.

But you know what lack of sleep means? Funny stories for Adam and me!

  Adam said the first thing I said when I woke up one morning was, "I've been trying to do the math on how much sleep I got last night, but any way you look at it, it all adds up to a headache." (look at me be pun-ny even when I'm delirious!)

  I was feeding and Adam woke up to Jenna fussing. "Can I help you in any way?" he said (I love that this is regularly the first thing out of his mouth when he wakes up). "No, go back to sleep," I responded. "She was on TV," he said, finger pointing to Jenna, "Did I tell you that?" "Jenna?" I asked. He started putting the pieces together.."MAYBE that was only in my dream..."

  One time Adam woke up long enough to say, "Oh, the quiet is the best gift of all!" Think someone is subconsciously missing uninterrupted sleep? (I'll admit, we've been spoiled)

  And lastly, my personal favorite...I had just put Jenna back in her crib after feeding and crawled back into our bed. Suddenly Adam JUMPED up and stood next to his side of the bed. I asked what he was doing and he said, "I am STANDING up! I do NOT know why."

Ah, don't you just love the humor in life? Keeps things interesting.
