these are the notes i left myself earlier about what i wanted to include in this blog post. i was nursing an angry red-faced baby, so only had one hand. sort of. i guess this is what you call ‘my process.’ i will clarify and elaborate on the following: -deep voice-nipples in gummy vice-grip stretched …

well, we’ve made it 3 whole days by ourselves and so far, i have to say, so good. i’m figuring out his patterns and how to decipher his cries (“what’s that, henry? timmy fell in a well?” or “you crapped your pants, did you?” stuff like that.) i have nary a basis for comparison, but …

little wonder has had 2 great days in a row. yesterday, he was asleep or awake happy all day long and even endured a trip to the shmancy frufru mall’s apple store where i bought myself a new blogger machine! it’s a cute macbook air and i guess has all kinds of neat, super fast …
