Aww, JZ, I'm so sorry, honey. I know he'd been ill for ages, but it's still so sad to lose someone you love.
Sushi remains good.
I've been on the go since 6am. We now have windows that don't suck, Lillian has not only regained her birthweight, she's a pound over what she was at her last appointment (actually 1lb 1.5oz over), and appears to be in fine shape. (When telling my mother about the weight gain, she said, and I think this is a direct quote, "Damn, you're a Jersey." Yes, she was talking about cows. Face, meet palm.)
Small baby still (25th percentile for length), but big headed (75th percentile), which cracks me up, because we are SO the family of short people with big noggins. She handled her second heel prick with a scream or two, and then a face-dive back to the comfort of the boob.
ION, I have no supply problems when it comes to milk. If the weight gain wasn't a clue, the freaking flood (more milk than I put on my cereal in the morning) that came out during a mid-feeding break tonight would most certainly be.

Jilli should be in charge of all future baby clothing purchases, BTW. For all well-dressed babies, not just mine.

I'm okay with that. Really, I am. I still need to find Tickybox a red & white striped onesie, just like Toby wears in
Labyrinth.
JZ, I'm so sorry. Yes, mortality is a dumb idea.
JZ, darling, I am so sorry for your loss.
JZ, mortality is hateful. I am sorry you are hurting and am so sorry for your loss. I hate that small, cold, hollow feeling.

Someone upthread linked to a story saying Leif had competition for Kara--there was a three year old in Queens (?) who while his mom was out buying a new lock (because he'd figured out how to open the door) and his dad was napping, hopped on a bus, paid for it, snuck into the movie theater to watch Robots. That's DAMN smart, for a three year old.
Oh my word, it's Chris. I hope the mother kicked the father in the head for napping when he was home with Houdini, after they'd already discovered the kid knew how to get out of the house.
In similar news, this makes me laugh, and think of Deena: [link]
Thanks, meara! That was fricking HI-larious. Poor woman. If anything, I'm tempted to send her some money for an occassional babysitter, so she doesn't put them up for sale again.
It was hilarious, but I'm more inclined to send her money for a better custody lawyer, if the father really has coke habit. And if he really has a coke habit, I'm wondering how she ever decided she could leave them with him for 9 days, while she went to Cancun.
Oh, {{{JZ}}} I am so very sorry for your loss.
It's morning. I feel hung over or something. Isn't that how it always is after a rough night?
I'm sorry for the rough night, vw. I hope the day is better for you.
Someone kick me out the door. I have to get Chris, Julia and myself to Ben's baseball game in 11 minutes. Scott and Ben left early, because there's pre-game practice, but I just can't get myself moving.
Kick! Kick!
Actually, I don't want you to go :) I want to chat more. But, your kids come first, so get, you sexy baseball mom!
{{JZ}}. Bless you, your Cappy and all your relations.
I honestly believe that cold, small, hollow feeling...I know what that has felt like for me...is the stage just before we are filled with the warm, expansive spirit of our loved ones. The missing can be terrible and the having in our hearts can be wonderful and forever.
{{JZ}} All my love to you, sweetness.
then a face-dive back to the comfort of the boob.
Somewhere in Egypt, Fay is muttering, "Like mother, like daughter."
JZ, I'm so sorry.
It's gray and stormy and I want to go back to sleep.
