Sick days

Kodos brother started day care two weeks ago. He was there two days and came home with a fever. He was sick for a few days then started getting better, then I got sick. We had a nice healthy weekend and when I picked him up from day care on Tuesday they said he cried all day. Took him to the Doc in wednesday and he has and ear infection. Poor boy. Then Kodo's dad got sick. Needless to say, in a week I think I have had a total of 13 hours sleep. I'm exhausted but all I can think is I hope my little man get better soon. It makes me sad to see him so unhappy and so uncomfortable and there I'd nothing I can do. At least it's Friday...guess I cam rest tuis weekend.

Enough about babies...

Work sucks!

Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the fact that I have a job and a job that pays well. But I am now working in downtown LA and the commute is a killer. I work with three different sales people and two of the them need medication and the other is a little too laid back. Every time I try to take a day off I end up coming into the office because one of them forgot to tell me about a meeting they have that I need to prepare for.

Aaaagh!!!

Gotta go back to work! I'm done ranting...happier thoughts next time.

They grow so fast...

I have a digital frame at my desk that my sis bought for me at Christmas. Of course it is loaded with pics of Kodo’s brother. He will be six months in another week and a half and it is crazy for me to look at these pics and see how fast he has been growing. Less than six months ago he was a hairy, skinny, 6lb infant, and now he is a balding, full faced baby who is sitting up on his own and trying to feed himself peas while simultaneously watching Baby Einstein and talk with a spoon in his mouth. My, time does fly!

Oh, and after nearly 6 months he finally slept through the night without being swaddled. What a little man I have!

Drool Monster

So not so suddenly, Kodo’s brother has been drooling like a mad man. They say this is a sign he is teething and any day now a little tooth is going to sprout up. I don’t believe it. He has been teething for over three months! Do you have any idea how many times a day I have to change his shirt. At day care, we put bibs on him. In two days at day care he went though five bibs. What the heck! I can’t believe I actually want him to sprout a tooth. Spittle (love that word) is not my favorite smell in the morning. I love that little boy though!

Happy Friday!

Day Care

So Kodo’s brother starts day care tomorrow. He has been home with his auntie for the past couple of months getting spoiled. I am excited to see him make some new friends and thrive in a new environment (I feel so maternal talking like this) but I am also nervous for him. Well, not for him, for me. So wish me luck when I drop his little Pumpkin Head off tomorrow and hopefully I won’t cry!

Oh, and good luck to anyone trying to find reasonably priced day care...I had to sell an arm to afford his.

My return.....

To answer questions from the media (my friends and family)…..

Blogging was for me….for about a minute. Then life happened, I will hit the high points for you:

- Got pregnant in March, unexpected but definitely welcomed!
- Was married in June (decided 8 months pregnant in October down the aisle was not going to be a good look for me)
- Summer went by and I nearly melted into my sofa with an additional 20lbs in baby weight and no air conditioner (wtf landlord!)
- Fall came and baby planning went into full gear
- Baby came on November 2, 2009! Yay!
- Experienced a death in the family in November (booo)
- Lola, our loving Boxer, was diagnosed with aggressive bone cancer in December and had to be put down.
- Christmas and New Year with a new baby came and went.
- Buster, the turtle, had to be given away in February. Too much to do with the new baby and his tank was getting funky.
- In February, my job transferred me to Downtown L.A. My ten minute commute in a car went to an hour train ride.

And here we are in April!

I have decided that I will continue to blog. Although I have less time, I have more material. 

Instead of losing myself in our wedding Kodo, Lola and Buster, you will find most of my writing (or venting depending on the day) will be primarily about Kodo’s Dad, Kodo’s new brother and Kodo (poor guy, he’s getting old). I hope you find my new living situation as interesting as it was before.

I will begin next week anew and fill you in on all the wonderful details of pregnancy and life with an infant and how you can forget about a dog you have had living with you for 7 years. I promise it won’t be scary.

Love to all who still care…. Kodo’s Mom.
