Irony at it's best

This week has been the week of ironic events.  Irony makes me laugh, no matter what the situation.  For example.....

The other night (god love Hayden) I really needed to just get away, take a breath, take a break and de-stress from a somewhat stressful day.  So when Marcus suggested we order take out I was more than happy to be the one to go and pick the food up!  Now....seeing my day was a crazy one I didn't have time to change out of my pjs from the moment I woke up. Soooo being over tired I really didn't mind going out in my pjs to pick up our sushi. Yes I went out in my pjs, but really what is the worst that could happen. I would run in and out and nobody would even notice! Well I ran in and out and no, nobody noticed.  All went well until i tried to start the car and it was dead! So there I am on Queen street during rush hr holding my sushi in front of my dead car in my pjs. Nice plan...nothing stressful about that!  One tow truck boost later and I was home...laughing at the irony.

This last weekend I decided to experiment and only give Hayden formula for 48 hrs.  Reason being...he is up every hr during the night with gas. On top of the whole thing he eats every hr so basically there is no sleep for either of us these days.  Anyway, as I was saying I fed him formula only and learned within hrs that it's mommy's breast milk which is giving him such bad gas! So now at three months breast feeding has come to an end.  How ironic that what is apparently the best thing for my baby is what is hurting him the most.  With that said we are now both happier waking half the amount as we were three days ago.   Now...if I could just get this kid full.....

Milestone!

Oh my god. He knows his bed time! Our hands are free after 8:00pm every night! (granted I'm in bed about an hour later but whose counting that!) Just sitting here having a glass of wine feeling somewhat normal.  Knocking on wood all over the place!

P.S Our baby is gigantic! Yes....gigantic. 

At first glance

Happy Birthday Matias!

This past week Alex Cesar and the bubbas were in town for a visit. We had a little birthday party for Matias and mom and dads and Hayden met Matias and Isabella for the first time. Well lets face it he had no clue what was going on, but it was cute to the rest of us! Hayden screamed the entire time because of my new enemy...gas. I spent most of the time in a bed room with him trying to calm him down... I'm sure next year will be different.

Isabella is such a pretty little girl and so obviously a girl! Hayden looks like a little truck beside her... I'm so happy they are close in age!

The following day we went out to Frank and Claire's for a first time visit with Giana and the gang. Hayden was in a better place this time and was a hit with the ladies!

I learned last week the H is lactose intolerant so we had to switch up his formula. Things do seem better but he's still a little off... I wonder if hes allergic to my breast milk? Anyway...thinking out loud here.

Reverse Psychology

Sleep is for the weak...

That's all I have to say about that.

GEMINI.....

Zodiac Sign of Gemini

The people who were born in this period are widely known for their dual personalities and ability to change mood from moment to moment. Of all people they are the most difficult to understand; in temperament they are hot and cold almost at the same moment. (ummmmm yeah! What do you want...WHAT DO YOU WANT! Are you hungry or do you need to poop?)

They love with one side of their nature and they are often critical or dislike with the other people. Their sharp wit and excellent powers of observation make them a good raconteur, although they have a tendency to exaggerate which can cause trouble with their relationships. (Yes screaming at the top of his lungs like Hayden is being tourtured while I rock him to sleep causes tention between Mommy and Baby)

Such people are usually excellent in diplomacy, and dazzle their listeners by, their wit and brilliancy, but they usually leave them no wiser than they were at the start. It is difficult even for them to understand what they want to achieve. ( Again, were you interested in sleeping or are you trying to poop? Are you hungry? WHAT? )

At heart they are ambitious for social position; but when obtained they have already tired of it, and are ready to go in for something else or for something totally opposite. Being natural communicators these people do not suffer fools gladly; so once they are attracted to people, they have to ensure that they are not dull or mundane. (Wow thats a lot of pressure!)

They will no doubt spending ages chatting to anyone about every subject under the sun, just to keep feeding their ever active and inquisitive mind. If taken as they are, in their own moods, they are the most delightful people imaginable, but one must not attempt to hold them or to expect them to be constant to their ideas or plans. (Again...it was a GREAT idea to WANT to go to sleep .... ).

They believe they are truthful, constant, faithful, and so they may be at the moment, but every moment to them has a separate existence. These people have an ability to see quickly the weak points in those they meet, and can reduce all to nothing by wit, sarcasm, or mimicry. ( Fantastic....)
