He sleeps for 8 straight hours?

Yep. He sleeps for 8 straight at night, and is alert and interested during the day. I'm just sad because he doesn't like sleeping on or next to us, but on the other hand he falls asleep on his own, when he's put in his papasan.

Buffista babies are just way too cute and pretty.

It's true. There should be a law. How are you doing, chiquita?

(OK, a few more minutes of shopping and I am off to bed. I'm trying to find an anniv. present for the DH and am not having much luck.)

We're great. Em pulled herself up onto her knees in her bassinett yesterday. She's theeeese close to pulling all the way up on her feet. She turns 6 months tomorrow and she also eats toast.

You are both trying to kill me with ovary pain.

6 months already - jeez man. Is she going to have birthday toast?

You know what's kind of funny? I never saw any difference in baby boys and baby girls, but Em is so clearly a girl in her photos (as is Lily). It must be another one of those mental changes that motherhood brings.

Don't worry, sj, it's probably just indigestion. Take a Pepto Bismol and call me in the morning.

We totally need a mom thread. hee.

Heh. I'm sure there are plenty Buffistas who wish we would get our own thread so we don't talk about kids and stuff in public. God, I can't believe I've turned into one of Those People.

(but Mal's so cute! And he does neat things! And likes carrots!)

OK, really going to bed now.

I approve of the mom talk. It makes me want babies.

I approve of the mom talk too.

It's been two weeks, and the temp agency has yet to find any work for me. I was hoping that I'd have the same luck with them here as I did in Baltimore and therefore get steady income to live on while doing the career counseling thing and looking for a job I really want to do.

I know that two weeks isn't a long time, but I've reached my own personal frustration point. I am hauling my resume back out, looking at job offers in the paper, and getting contact info for companies I'd like to work for.

All well and good, except that I HATE this. I went for months sending resumes out into a seeming void, and I'm scared to death it's going to happen again. I haven't even heard back from the store where I applied for part time work, and it's been over a week.
