My brother arrives tomorrow. I don't think he actually expects me to clean before he gets here, so the kitchen shall remain dingy. The bathroom will get cleaned, but that's just because it always does. And I'll sweep the room he's staying in--dust bunnies are bad for asthmatics.

Laundry is never ending, but it was like that pre-baby. I'm just actually doing it more often now so that it doesn't pile up. My mom sent a six pack of fuzzi bunz--I should prep those so that I can use them.

My beloved son accomplished a mom-groaning feat of Ugh! today by peeing in his own mouth. That's why babies shouldn't cry during diaper changes. He was rewarded with a bath. He liked the bath, but didn't like getting out. I forgot to pre-warm the towel this time. Doh!

Jericho is staring at boy and I in turn, demanding his dinner. He's convinced we'll forget. Ronan, meanwhile, is sound asleep in his vibrating bed. Soon, he, too, will awaken and demand dinner. He's already had tenses, elevenses, twelveses, etc, today. Growing babies need a constant supply of boob juice. He nursed for over an hour and a half earlier today, merging the twelvses right on up to the twoses.

I should take advantage of sleepy baby time and go sort some more baby clothing into age/size appropriate groups and put them away so that pace has a place to sleep.

I really wanted to throw a welcome baby party this weekend, but I've just been too tired to pull it together.

Oh wow, I howled out loud when I read that. My first diaper change with Danny, he peed in his own eyes. That plus meconium equalled loads of fun.

I guess that's better than baby peeing in the diaper changer's mouth.

Perhaps you should ask for one of those towel-warming towel bars for Yule. That way the towel can warm up while the baby's in the bath even if you forget to put it in the dryer.

AJ peed in his own ear as a week-old infant. Al about crapped himself from panic over it. I just laughed it off and cleaned out his ear. Oddly enough, the peed-in-ear was mostly spared the ear infection woes of the other ear (a zillion infections, hearing loss, 3 ruptures + mastoiditis). Maybe Ronan will be spared the strep throat/tonsil plague that you had as a kid?

Oh hey...I need to go looking for our old fuzzi bunz (Jhonk can STILL fit his petite toddler ones) and send some your way...that is if you aren't completely squicked out about using (barely) used but clean FB's.

Nope, not squicked. And I'll happily return them to you when Ronan outgrows them.

The first two I tried were loaned by a friend. :)
