Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Cash, you sure you're ready for a newborn again? This up-every-two-hours crap is the suxxor.
Heh. I'm pretty much preparing for it right now. My sleeping hours are CRAXY with the peeing and the sciatica and the acid reflux. Nature is a wonderful thing and very prescient about this stuff.
I try to remind myself that the sleep stuff is so very cyclical with babies. Owen started sleeping 7 hours at a time around 10 weeks and then only woke up once or twice until he was about 9 months old. Then when he turned a year, it was just once a night, usually in the wee morning hours. I think he's plateaued at 11 hours now (THANKFULLY!) with one short, afternoon nap. So knowing there is a light at the end of the tunnel is always easier.
BTW, I showed DH the flickr pictures of Mal and he said, "Whoa, that is one smiley baby! And those are some AWESOME cheeks!"
Buffista babies are all gorgeous, handsome, achingly huggable, and incredibly smart. Lily's smuggling picture done broke me, too.
Just checking in to wish juliana happy landings and a swift acclimation to her new milieu, and in addition to everyone else, a wonderfully Happy New Year!
Juliana is safely in the air, after getting bumped to a slightly later but direct flight. Because of the bad storm in the area, it's delayed, but not too much.
Whoa, that is one smiley baby!
Yeah, I don't know how he figured it, but whenever the camera comes out now, he smiles and poses. And if the pre-flash blinks, he squints against the flash. Then, after one photo, he sprints for the camera.
We will never have any candid shots of him.
Off to bike and do push-ups.

Direct flight is better. Do you know what time she's due in, Perkins?
12:30, give or take a few minutes.
Oooh, yes, sj would look smashing in it!
I'll take the blouse, if you haven't promised it to anyone else, JZ. It sounds lovely.
SJ!! Woman! Check your email. And thank you! And I forgot to ask...
How am I supposed to eat all of these sweets myself? You and Dave should get your butts out here and help me eat them.
Sorry, I never came home after work yesterday. I wish we could...
It was a long battle, well fought, but I'm pleased to announce that the evil guest room duvet cover has been defeated, with only minimal injuries sustained.
I repeat, the duvet cover
has
been defeated.
Perkins - what a storm last night, eh? Woke me up at 4am with the pounding. At the moment it seems better, so I'll keep hoping for enough of a break for juliana to land easily.
We are FINALLY cleaning house, though DH is sick, so he is only committing to cleaning off his desk while the rest of us work on the rest of the house.
C wants to go to a party with people I don't know and then spend the night at a house with a girl I only kinda know. I hate being a grinch, but I think I'd rather she stay home. I had told her she could invite someone over, but "all her friends are going to this party".

Yes. I lost power for a little while this morning. That better not happen again today or tomorrow.
