How's JZ?

She's good. Really much better. She's healing very quickly and was mostly worried about the breastfeeding. I think they've actually made great progress, considering Emmett couldn't breastfeed with any consistency for three weeks. Matilda is getting a good latch with the silicone nipples and it's made a big difference.

God, I'm almost glad we had the C-section just to have the extra days in the hospital. Four days to adjust with nurses on call, a nursery for the night (so Mom can sleep) and lactation experts around just makes a huge, huge, huge difference. It would've saved EM and I so much hardship and stress when Emmett was born. We only had one night in hospital after the birth.

HOW CUTE IS EMMETT?!?!?

Pretty damn sweet tonight. He was really doting on her. She's practically like a puppy for him.

All that must make JZ just weepy with happiness. YAY!

It was definitely a family bonding night. Big Yay. A lot of Emmett's resistance to JZ was simply based on the knowledge that she was going to bring a baby into the family. Now that he's liking Matilda, he was clearly warmer towards her.

Deb's been a big help coming over the last couple days to hang with JZ while I ran errands or cleaned. Plus making vegetarian lentil soup for her. And taking JZ to several prenatal appointments. In appreciation, we refrained from working out quadratic equations in her presence.

So WaT and CSI maybe not the best shows for me to watch. I am off to search online for implanted tracking devices I can use on mac, or maybe I just chain him to me.

a) step away from the WaT

b) No chipping your son.

Emmett is a sweetie-pie. Made me all allergic.

Just watched the last House ep. I don't usually laugh out loud so much. It started with "You can't stop our love!" and then the loopiness from the gas, and then, "...unless you want to make out," (why, yes, now that you mention it), to "I'm ovulating; let's go," to the Casablanca blow-off at the end. Good god.

For the first couple read-throughs, I thought you were looking specifically for Macintosh-compatible tracking devices, and I thought, "Wow, she's given this some thought."

Jen--House was on *fire* this past week. I loved every single minute of it.

David, glad Em is loving BB-hood, and that you're both doing well. I appreciate the updates! Though now I wish I'd moved to SF instead of Dublin. *g*

Aw Hec, Emmett's such a big sweetie. I'm so glad he having a good experience with all this.

[After she was fed and bundled and making lots of eye contact and staring in wonder] "Who's a cute little baby of bogglement?"

"Now I'm glad I have a little sister."

And when we pulled up in the car and got home, after he'd been listening to his Nano he just announced, "I love Matilda!"

Awwwwww. So sweet!!! Yay Emmett!!!

I'm wide awake, with a sinus headache (quelle surprise), The Boy is sound asleep in the next room, and since I can't sleep, I'm watching 90210 reruns and watching the college students across the street pile into an SUV for a road trip. Cuteheads.

My siblings were 7, 8, & 9 when I was born, and they always tell me that I was more like a puppy than a sister.

"Now I'm glad I have a little sister."

Aw!

It was here we were talking about training toddlers, right? In a year and a half or so, I bet Emmett's going to have Matilda doing all kinds of parlour tricks.

I'm hoping he'll teach her dialogue from Tombstone.
