When I lived in the Rainier Valley, we got one of these for our TV and got everything pretty well (and Beacon Hill was blocking 4, 5, and 7 from us line-of-sight). If you're going to go without cable, a unidirectional antenna is a must in this city.
It's our digital receiver's fault. It's weird and touchy. But when it's on, it's beautiful.
Honestly, I suspect a big part of the cable cancelling (which happened pre-pregnancy) on his part (mine was just that I wasn't watching anything) was due to Paul's hatred of the very messy digital cable signal.
Yay me!?!
At least my ughness is short lived? How is your back doing?

Says it loves you, right?
My back is actually improving a lot. The physical therapy might be painful sometimes and tiring but it's working too. I'm kinda appreciative. I've also slacked this week so today hurt like hell. Still? Bless the concept of PT...

Brings me flowers, chocolates, rubs my feet...
Then runs out on me when we've got plans.
I think it has issues with commitment.

It's seeing other channels on the side. I hate to be the one to tell you but someone had to.
Yay!
Rocks like a line-dancing rocking thing... Hurts like a sonofabitch, at times, but moving is a revelation.

I KNEW IT!
Bastard!
That's okay. It doesn't know that I keep another TV in my bedroom, just for watching DVDs. *weeps* I DON'T NEED YOU, BROADCAST!
Damn. I'm all punchy tonight.
You media slut, you...
I think my dvd player has bailed on our relationship. It won't turn on.
I'm so confused by the damned Lost scheduling. Is the episode that's running from 8-9 (eastern) the same episode that ran last week? Am I missing VM because of *this*? I would have recorded VM and then switched to Lost. UPN is rerunning VM this weekend, so it's not a big deal, but it is an annoying deal.
Yes and Yes. And yeah, annoying.
Thanks, Cashmere. When tiggy gets home from her vacay, she's sending me season one anyhow, and she really wanted me to see that before I saw the premiere, so as long as I manage to TiVo the premiere on Saturday, it's okay. But still annoying (because you know I totally would have watched season 2, and spoiled myself, and loved it, as well).
Stephanie, Ellie is GORGEOUS. Oh, and I had the same reaction (that she looked like Joe in some shots) before I ever saw the Natter conversation on same, particularly in these shots: [link] [link] [link] [link]
What he's going through is very natural. He probably would have gone through it in a more exhausted, and so maybe less aware state, if he'd been home at her birth. He's probably also more sensitive to it, because he was away, so he probably feels a little at fault. It will just take some time.
And, Laura's totally right, saying that he will have his day. For me, with all three of my kids, the turn happened around age one. And it hurt my feelings just a little, each time. But it will get easier between them, between now and then.
Unsolicited advice: Leave them alone together when you can, and make them learn about each other. Each time he has to parent on his own, he'll gain more confidence. Also? Let him do things his way--not that you wouldn't, but in general, that's something I see a lot of new parents go through. Mom knows the baby's rhythms in a way Dad can't, right from the outset. It's easier for mom to take care of the baby. Dad stands back and mom steps up.
During the months/years you nurse, it's always going to be somewhat unequal, and that's natural. But when there is stuff he can do for her, and when there are times when you can get away for an hour or two, take advantage of that, and everybody wins, imo.
Huh. Apparently it's my two year work anniversary today.
