I suck at Blog

I know, I know, my posts are about as consistent as a World of Warcraft storyline, but I do try!!!

My current thoughts:
Holy shit, my house is a riotous mess. I need totes, lots of them. Hopefully I can send my delicious boyfriend to Big Lots tomorrow to fetch me some. I also need some kind of wall organizer for the little dudes' crap... baby clothes and diapers are everywhere. It looks like some kind of landmine went off in the boys' room.

I need to stop mentally setting up my bff with cute boys I see when she just bought a house with her boyfriend. Someone needs to write me a reality check on that one.

We went to grocery store today, what a headache. We hadn't fully shopped in a couple of months and we were down to ketchup and noodles... I completely overflowed the shopping cart and then the register took Josh's card before she scanned the coupons (and I had $10 in coupons, man, so she had to put them through manually and "credit" Josh's credit card - reTARDed)

I'm supposed to blog about something for Sweet Shoppe and I can't remember what it is...
lemme go look... oh yes... what American Accent do you have...

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: The West

Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

The Midland

Boston

North Central

The Inland North

Okay, so on Saturday morning we did our newest little tradition, we went to the Farmer's Market. We actually have a good time and we eat all the fruits and veggies we spend and arm and a leg on and we've found an awesome baker and hummus dude, too. (artichoke hummus, to die for!)

Here's some pics of our excursion:



Yorick still sporting that shiner.


Daddy and Yorick



It's just a closed off street, but it's pretty.


They have orchids that I would kill as soon as it exchanged hands, but still pretty to look at.



Crazy hat lady singing. I think she looks like Bessie Higgenbottom's mom on The Mighty B.




Another view of Crazy Hat Lady.

Okay, I'm done, I'll try to post more this week.

Shoo.
Sheesh.

Our Trip Behind The Orange Curtain

Okay, so we're back from visiting family and friends down in Orange County. I threw a surprise birthday party for Josh with the help of Shosh and others, and it went off really well! He was actually surprised! (The first surprise party I've been to where they were actually surprised)

We stayed at Shoshana and Brian's new pad, it's really cute and they had a guest room, which was pretty exciting. The first night there, though, I elbowed Yorick right in the eye and gave him an awful shiner... I felt like such shit the whole weekend over that.

Yorick's shiner:


I'll definitely write some more on this after I edit some party pics and make it all cute, but lets just say, Josh ended up sleeping on the bathroom floor, next to the toilet. It was pretty hilarious.

Be back later, boobs.

Awesome.

Ahhh, a new baby.

You yen for one and yen for one... and then it's here and you're up at 3am wiping a breastfed yellow-poo butt, with one boob hanging out of your bra because you haven't put it away yet and you realize in the morning that you were so tired you somehow managed to wrangle the little sucker into his diaper backwards and inside out and he's pooped up the back and peed out the front.

Yep, it's awesome over here.

>.<

Pics of the Nugget






There, he's awake. Finally.

Dude. My boobs RAWK.

Okay, so I don't know if I mentioned it, but I was a little apprehensive about Phin's weight check today...
I took him off formula and ebm last week and let him go exclusively on the boob, so I didn't know if he was getting enough.

I ROCK!!
7/2 7 days old 5lb 9.75oz 3.43%
7/10 15 days old 6lb 8oz 4.92%

7/23 28 days old 8lb 9.5oz 27.91% !!!!!!!!!!!!!! woohoo!!!

He is getting some nystatin cream for a yeast infection he got because he sat in a wet diaper when he had a good 6 hour sleep stint a couple of nights ago.
But other than that, he's awesome!!
His length went from 17inches at birth to 19.75inches at 2 weeks to 21.25inches today... he's in the 45th percentile on height!!

My little preemie!!

Now for Yorick...
Yorick's height SERIOUSLY jumped!!
at 14months he was 30.5inches in the 43rd percentile and today he was 33inches in the 76th percentile!! =) I knew he was finally getting really tall, he's been reaching EVERYTHING.
and his weight did really good, too, at 14 months he was 20lbs 5oz in the 6th percentile and today he was 23lbs 14oz in the 25th percentile.

She did want to address his speech delay, we're going to talk about it in a month, she's a little concerned that he's not really talking yet. She's happy that he's blathering and chit chatting in his own language, but she wants to catch up with us in a month and see how he's doing.
He has words for mama, dada, bottle, balloon, car noises (which she said counts), and ball. He's also imitating the cat by following him around on all fours and he pretends to vacuum and he can fetch me things if I ask for them, so his comprehension is good, she'd just like to see him talking more.

All in all, even though I was disappointed that he does have a slight speech delay, I think it went well. He got a hib shot today and we gave him a bottle while he was getting it and he only peeped once, so that was really good.

I'll go and take some pics of them now... if I don't go FRACKING INSANE first!! Yorick did something to the carbon monoxide detector and now it's beeping every 60 seconds and I can't figure out how to make it stop.

YARGH.

Oh. And I scrapped a page today:
