Sorry it took a while, but here’s a pic of my little guy.

As of his 2 week check-up, he’s 8 lbs 12 oz, a whole 25 oz over what he was when we were discharged from the hospital!!

We’re doing well here. A little sleep deprived, but nothing too bad. Of course, this upcoming week will be my first week at home alone. Could get….interesting!

Miles Keith was born April 15 2008 at 12:45pm. He was 2 weeks early and I was starting to think that maybe he’d never come and I’d be taking him to kindergarten while still inside of me.

After 30 hours of labor and 3 hours of pushing he was delivered by c-section. He’s perfect, 10 fingers, 10 toes, a head full of dark brown hair. He’s a great eater and sleeper already and the biggest problem his mommy and daddy seem to have is arguing over who gets to hold him.

Miles had to spend some time under the tanning lights in the hospital due to jaundice and I’ve had some c-section complications but things are still going pretty well.

Here’s a picture of my new little guy. I hope you all understand why I might not be around as much as I used to.

Update: OK, I’m trying to post a picture but I’m having some technical difficulties. I’ll have one up as soon as I can.

I’m posting at LSB’s SEx Blog today.

With a baby due in a little more than a month (or if I’ get my way, way less than a month) my mind has turned to nesting.

But not normal nesting like cleaning my house or anything like that.

No, I’m using my nesting energy to make sure my cyber world is all clean and sparkly. I’ve spent more time online in the past week or so than I have in the previous 6 months combined, I think.

I’ve also apparently decided that once the baby comes I will never ever read another book as long as I live. I’ve become a regular at my local library and am going through 6 books every 2 weeks.

But my house? Still a mess.

*Sigh*

I’m thinking it may be time to get back into writing.

The problem is, it’s not necessarily because I want to, or because I have great story ideas or anything like that. I may be getting back into writing because at the moment my desk chair is the most comfortable place for me to sit.

The nice (expensive) new couches? Eh, I can make it through an evening sitting there but then struggle to get up. The old couches? Also okay but not for long term. Heck, even the bed isn’t very comfortable these days.

And honestly, at the moment I have no idea how I used to waste days playing online, ’cause now that I actually have days to waste playing online, it’s really not that much fun.

So, since I’m sitting at my desk, in my deskchair, my computer in front of me, the only logical thing to do seems to be to write.

Anybody got an extra plot lying around?

Right…so I’m not doing so well on that “getting back into the swing of things” thing.

I’m trying through. Really. And I’m hoping it’ll get a little bit easier as my desk chair is currently one of the most comfortable places for me to sit. Though it is hard to type out any coherent thoughts when I have to get up and use the bathroom every five minutes.
*Sigh*
I’m just glad we bought a house with a powder room on the first floor. The idea of going up the stairs every time I have to…go…makes me want to cry.

Anyway, I’m really going to try to get back into the swing of blogging (and this time, I mean it). I’m even starting to read other blogs again, though I admit, I haven’t been commenting.

It’s hard to blog though, cause this was meant as a professional writing blog, but right now my life seems to be all baby-to-be, all the time.

*Another sigh*

Oops - I know I was supposed to post this last Thursday but I accidentally clicked Save instead of Publish. Sorry.

I don’t have very many pictures of Montreal and Quebec but here are a few.

This is a cool old building in Montral - it was the parliment building or something like that (sorry, it’s been a long time since the trip).

This is Chateau Frontanac in Quebec - a cool old building. It was being refurbished which you can probably see in the pictures. Our hotel was right next door but not nearly as oppulent.

Like I said, not many pictures from Montreal and Quebec. I’ll try to have more from the rest of the trip in the next few days. (I’m I’m not an idiot and actually publish the posts I write).

I realize I haven’t posted much in the past few days. Mostly because I don’t have anything to say.

Now that’s odd because I realize for the last few years that I’ve had this blog I haven’t really had anything to say yet it’s never stopped me before.

I’ve been busy, but noot with anything worth mentioning, really.

How boring am I?

Hey, I never posted pictures from the second half of my trip, did I? Well, come back over the next few days and I’ll post some!!

So I may have discovered what happened to poor Mr. Turtle’s shell.

You see, it’s become impossible to go into my backyard with some kind of protective gear on. In fact, as I sit here on my desk, I can hear little pops as my backyard is attacked.

What is the cuprit?

Acorns.

They hurt when they hit ya, but the squirrels are loving them.

Seriously, if the wind is blowing hard, it’s actually dangerous to go into the backyard. If the wind isn’t blowing there’s still a steady stream of acorn falling noises (but do they make a noise if I’m not here to hear them? Yes, and it scares the crap outta me when they hit something metal!).

You may thinkk it’s safe to go out when there’s no wind at all, but then the backyard turns into one big cartoon. I feel like I’m flailing when I’m trying to walk out there ’cause it’s like walking on marbles.

I need an army helmet or something - ooh, there went a gust of wind, lol.
