Jason's 8 Week Checkup

-
Jason had his 8 week old "well baby" checkup on Friday.  He weight in at 10 lbs 2.6 ounces & is 22.84" long.  He's long and skinny (53rd percentile for height and 11th for weight)!  The doctor was impressed by how strong he is and how he can hold his whole chest up when he's on his tummy.  He has even rolled over onto his side twice before, which she said most babies don't do until around 4 months.  She also praised his chill disposition and his "tracking" and ability to maintain eye contact.  Jas had 3 vaccinations but he was a trooper and stopped crying as soon as I nursed him afterward.  Now he's not due for another checkup until April.

Goofie selfie that followed.  You can see Lils' adult incisors are finally coming in.

Saturday morning smiles.

More smiles!

Looking at big sister lovingly on Saturday afternoon.

She is the best!
 
Sunday morning cuddles.  Our new king size bed is coming in handy.

Mornings when we're all snuggling and laughing are my favorite thing ever (even more than Disneyland!).

My artwork from Lily's Young At Art session on Friday.  Being a docent is a lot more work than I initially thought.  Not sure if I'll be up for doing it next year but in the mean time I'm embracing my inner grade school artist.

Stop for a Minute

I heard Stop for a Minute by Keane on the radio yesterday morning and haven't been able to get it out of my head since then.  An undercurrent of sadness has been our status quo since we got the news about Lara but this song reminds me that being sad together is way better than being sad alone.  Lara's Celebration of Life was really beautiful (full of laughs and sobs, often at the same time) but we kept expecting her to pop out and yell "just kidding!" and when she didn't... it sucked... and continues to suck. View of LA from the Hollywood Hills. Part of our company-wide legal summit last week was an open-air ride through Hollywood. My office building is connected to the building that is reflecting the sun. Our tour passed the Chateau Marmont.  Normally I wouldn't care that much but we just watched Sofia Coppola's newish movie "Somewhere" last week so it seemed like I should take a picture.  Lily in Grandpa Marc & Grandma Kathy's...

Ever since I've given birth, I've been meaning to post my hospital bag list. With Andrea in her 37th week, I figured I better do it before it becomes moot to her. :) Things I Brought that Really Came in Handy: For the Baby 1. Receiving Blanket 2. Onesie and Going Home Outfit For Myself- 3. 2 Night Gowns (Saturday night, while I was in labor, I was in hospital gowns and stayed in them for the rest of Sunday; I only switched into the cotton gowns I brought with me for Sunday night and Monday night) 4. 3 Nursing Bras (I wore one through labor and for the rest of my time in the hospital) 5. 5 pairs of white cotton undies in a size larger than I usually wear 6. Cotton ballet style slippers (they didn't take up much room in my bag and I could wear them under the sheets if I didn't feel like slipping in and out of slippers every time I got up to go to the bathroom) 7. Cotton Maternity Dress to wear home (I read and heard from other people that you still look pretty pr...

To Grandmother's House We Go

After Ryan's marathon bachelor party last night, Matt decided to balance out the weekend with a trip to Skokie to visit Rita and Larry. It's been far too long since we've seen them last (the birthday/baby shower bacchanal of Memorial Day weekend) and we had a great night. In addition to delicious barbecue chicken, Rita gave me a back rub and Larry and I tried to make sense of the first 20 minutes of Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome . After dinner, we headed to Jewel where Matt and I played the game "What's bigger- a watermelon or my belly?" My self esteem was greatly boosted by the watermelon's victory. And finally, meet the newest edition to Baby G's nursery. Great-Grandma Rita & Great-Grandpa Larry couldn't resist this cute doll and neither can I!
