13 Things I’ve Learned in the Last Few Weeks
  1. Why some people thing bibs are so vital!
    I never understood people's fascination with bibs for little babies. Why they make so many adorable ones for newborns… I understand now!!! Nicky spit up like three times in his entire infancy. Finn spits up three times in one feeding!
  2. That you should never let a nurse give you Pitocin to speed up labor unless she swears a blood oath that you'll get an epidural when you ask for it!
    My water broke at midnight and at six the next morning I still wasn't really in labor. I told them if they gave me Pitocin I'd want an epidural. They did and when I asked for my epidural they said he was with someone else… An hour later during which I'd had the most excruciating pain of my entire life, I was fully dilated and he was still giving someone else her epidural… Well that isn't true at that point he was filling out paperwork… No comment there…
  3. Babies who can be laid down for short periods of time really do exist!
    Finn will let me lay him down without screaming for at least short periods of time sometimes. Nicky screamed the second he left contact with your body!
  4. Fenugreek makes you smell like it!
    Ick!
    It's an herb that helps with milk production, but after a few days on it Finn and I both were stinky!
  5. I'm tired!
  6. Corndogs really are gross.
    For some reason they weren't when I was prego but now they definitely are again!
  7. Though he can be laid down for short periods, he'd much prefer my lap.
    Hence his current location!
  8. This little dude is really particular about his pacifiers!
    Only one specific kind will do!
  9. Apparently it is possible to have twins three years apart.
  10. My little boys are just tooooooo cute!
  11. No, really! I'm quite tired!
  12. It's possible to turn my little boy against me just by "hiding" from him for two days.

    He was really miffed with me when I got home from the hospital. Completely refused to acknowledge me for a good two hours!

  13. I seem to be able to come up with a Thursday thirteen even when I have only had 2 hours or so of cumulative sleep.

I have a 6 month old, the youngest of FOUR boys. I can SOOOOO relate to all of the above.

I hope you get some sleep soon.

Got a smile out of your 13.

Hang in there. My grandson is 7 weeks so I know you're as sleep deprived as my daughter.

I have 4 kids, now teenagers, and you just gave me a big smile thinking about all the spit up and such I've encountered in my life.

And making thankful I'm still not doing that! LOL

Happy TT

13 of my Favorite Quotes from Fiona O'Sithein I'm too darn sleepy to be creative tonight so I'm drawing on my ready-made list. Not to be confused with the one I did about the first lines of the chapters in Fiona. Those weren't nearly my favorites. Is it narcissistic to have favorite quotes that you wrote yourself? When I'm giggling my head off at something I wrote, my husband always looks at me kinda funny. Oh, well if it is, then here is me reveling in narcissism. :-D May you enjoy them as much as I do. 1. Fiona: “What? You think just because I don’t have any magic like my brother or super strength like you people that I’m useless?” 2. Bonnie: “He’s not a heretic, is he?” Fiona: “Isn’t everyone these days?” 3. Fiona: “No one wants to be the one to deflower the king’s daughter.” 4. Fiona: “Yes, Beltran, you’re a vampire. How could anyone forget it when you’re reminding them of it ten times a day? You are the only vampire I know who seems to obsess ab...

Thirteen Things that take My Breath Away 1. This little Guy... Need I say More? 2. Eden Falls at the Lost Valley This picture doesn't even remotely do it justice. The first time I saw Eden Falls was in the middle of the summer after a big rain storm so there was water absolutely gushing from it! It made getting into the cave at the top somewhat more difficult than usual, but it was absolutely beautiful. I had never seen anywhere like it in my life. I thought places like that only existed in wall calenders! 3. The Ocean The vastness of it. The sound of the waves. The smell of it. That humid, cool wind that blows off it. The way it moves. Pretty much everything about it! *Lesley desperately needs a trip to the beach* 4. The Ozark Mountains My home! The very first time I came here I just knew this was where I wanted to be. I grew up on the delta with nothing but rice fields and flat land as far as the eye can see. There is a place on the drive up the mountain where you come around a c...

Well, I had been planning on putting up 13 pictures from my vacation, but my computer crashed yesterday and has to go to the doctor. I hope they can fix it, because I haven't backed up those 450 pictures I took. :-( I did upload all the really cute ones of Nicky to snapfish though, so at least there is that. This brings me to the question I have for y'all...Does anyone have a good gremlin banishing ritual they would like to share with me??? Just this week, my fridge, my car and my computer have all stopped working. The car was just a battery problem, and it has been replaced. I still don't know what is wrong with the computer or the fridge yet though. Without pictures but still in honor of my vacation... 13 Things I Did in Denmark Fed the ducks, swans, and geese at Damhus Lake. Nicky loved this! He was absolutely entranced by the birds. His favorite part (and keep in mind, he is a boy) was throwing the bread so that it landed on the swans back and then laughing hyst...
