nicknames

Since I did it with Gabe, I feel the need to have a nicknames lis ror New Baby too.
He has adopted some of Gabe's old nicknames like Mr Kickster a few times and Baby Nana a decent amount because he's so sad sometimes.  He also has been known as Hux, Zach, That One, Your Life Is Hard, etc.

crawling and pulling to stand

I was tonna be good wife and lie that Hux did anything big until the first time he did it after Hubby came to be with us in a few days...but Hux crawled a few steps yesterday (not army crawling or scooching) and today be pulled himself to stand up at Gabe's bed.

As I Cry Here In The Dark *expletive warning

It took about an hour to get Baby to stop screaming.  It was so bad that Gabriwl and I had to go in the other room (alhough Gabe was very good for about fifteen or twenty minutes).  I feel wo had for Gabe.  I feel way less had for Baby.  He will be six months old in less than a week.  He does not.need.to.be.waking.every.hour.or.two.  I've been vwry spoiled this last week.  Mom was so great and just took over the nightshift ever since I got home from the hospital, even now that I'm less braindead.  I feel so bad for her that she had to put up with this.  I love Baby.  I really do...but I just about (and by that, I mean I did in reality) yelled at him to shut the fuck up and just go to sleep.  I told you: me? I'm over it.  I can't very well do the modified cry it out like we did with Gabe whwn !) The boys are sharing a room, b) Hubby isn't here to offer a fridge bottle in case he truly is starving, and c) we're about to be moving/going through tra nsitions again.  But I also can't handle the waking up and the incessant screaming anymore.  Huddled up in the dark struggling not to bal my eyes out isn't how I normally roll.  I just don't know how many o be a good mom and balance both meeting his needs while still making sure we both get enough sleep t function throughout the day

No, Baby, Noooooooo!

We meet up with Hubby again in two weeks.  Baby keeps gettint up on all fours...and now he's rocking back and forth.  I know you're about there, Haby, but please just hold off for two more weeks so your daddio can be there to see.  I know how hard it was to miss all of the firsts while working when Gabriel was a baby...but I was at least there at night and could reexperience things.  I feel like I should be the guy from Life Happens (?) And push him down when he does that just so Hubby doesn't miss it!

On another note: Baby only woke up for two chunks last night.  I went to bed at 8:30 I was so worn oit from the every hour experiences...  I'm just so hapoy right now.  Baby is much haplier.  I'm much happier.  I feel more like my normal, happy, productive self.  Woo hoo
