Sick Sack Suck!

Being sick... well sucks! But I never ever thought about being sick with a baby! You can't sleep in, you can't lounge on the couch... and when I cough, sneeze, or blow my nose Brynn cries! And the worst part is what if she gets my cold? That would be awful.. poor little thing!

And I don't call Brynn my littlest baby for no reason. At her full term birth she was 5lb 4oz! Can you say PEANUT!? And don't look at me, I didn't drink or smoke or do any crazy un-nutritional things... I had gestational diabetes for christ sake! They thought she was going to be a big baby... I still don't understand how she was so little... but even now she is a slow gainer. She is 7.5 months old and weighs about 14lbs... thats the normal size of a 3.5 month old? Her pedi isn't worried, he says she gains and is "on track just below the line" but that doesn't stop me from worrying!

In other news she started saying Dada this weekend. Melted Bill's heart! Babci and Opa say that she said mama today while they were watching her.. I can't wait to get my hands on her!

Friday

It's raining... I'm probably the only one in New England that thinks this but I wish it was snowing! Snow is so pretty when its fresh and clean. We had about 5ft of snow (no joke) between Jan-Feb and I loved it!

Well.. baby is awake from her nap :)

Saturday

Everyone is the house is napping. Brynn, Bill and even Mr. Bojangles... but thats not a real big shocker because Mr. Bojangles is also sleeping.

Today my mom and my Carl came to watch Brynn swim. Water babies is the cutest thing! And I hope that she really takes to swimming.... I picture her on a swim team and me, her proud mama, in the stands. But for now she loves to splash around while mommy or daddy holds her. Today Daddy went in the pool with her. He holds her so tight and half of her body is out of the water while when I go in with her I kept her in the water and I keep her away from my body. Daddy's are funny creatures... haha! He also hate to put her underwater, he almost refuses... doesn't want to make her cry. While I will put in head under and let her cry alittle... how else is she going to win the Olympics if she doesn't go underwater! :)

Intro

Hi, I'm Laura! ..... I guess let's start with the stats. Sorta like when I was a teenager in an AOL chat room, 28/f/WMass here! LOL, those were the days! Before myspace, facebook, before you could even put a "flatter" picture of yourself up! You would describe what you looked like, I was 5'1 brown hair with blonde highlights and green eyes. Although I hated when the boys asked how much I weighed..... Anyway I talked to a lot of interesting people in the teen chat room only met a handful... back when meeting strangers was "safe" Oye!
