Come on, I know you want to...

Add yourself to my Frappr map, it'll be a blast.

We have a tooth!!!

I knew it was coming, but it broke through today. Yet another reason for the crappy sleep this week. I can't believe that Jackson has a tooth at 3 months, 1 week old. We used some baby orajel tonight and DH is putting him down now. Hope it helps keep him asleep a little longer tonight. Any other ideas to help ease the pain for him???

BTW, we measured him yesterday, 26.5 inches long. OMG! He is going to be a giant. I don't have a good scale, so I don't know how much he weighs, but I am guessing 15-16 pounds. Just had to share this early milestone!

3 months old tomorrow

Wow, time moves both so quickly and so slowly at times. I can't imagine how I'll feel when he reaches one year. Bittersweet is the right description.

Finalization is right around the corner I would guess. Not that I have heard much from the bloodsucking attorney these days. I think in the next few weeks it will be all done. Then I can work on getting a birth certificate and social security number for him.

And I am typing this from work right now. Boo hoo. DH did call and say that everything went really well with Jackson this morning and getting him off to his first day at day care. It still makes me sad though.

Back to work

Tomorrow. Yep, still can't believe it. And just when it was getting to be 'fun' to be home with Jackson.

Don't get me wrong; I am looking forward to the adult conversation and break from 'all Jackson all the time', but it doesn't make it any less difficult. And I think I already have four meetings scheduled for tomorrow. Ugh...

Just getting everything packed for DH to drop him off in the morning was like he is headed on an arctic exploration for a year. A diaper bag, an outfit, bib, blanket, burp cloth, car seat, check for the day care lady, cooler with prepared bottles, etc. And we have to do this three days a week. I'll be up half the night on those nights that preceed his day care days (M, Tu, Th for now).

I did however get a much needed 'me' day today. Hubby was off for the holiday so I scheduled an OB appt, dentist appt, eyebrow wax, and hair appt. I also was able to do a little shopping at Buy Buy Baby and Baby Depot to stock up on 3/6 and 6/9 outfits for our little guy. Of course, most of it really wasn't needed, but I felt like taking advantage of a free day!

Does it look like I am made of money?

I didn't think so. In fact, I don't even wear green for the most part.

So don't send me a notice in the mail (not even the nerve to call) and let me know that you just need $5,000 more for the escrow account. This is the same lawyer who said it would be closer to the $20k mark than the $30k that I was required to put down as the retainer. That is all gone. Yep. Plus the $10k I spent with the agency prior (doing the homestudy, application, fingerprinting, post placement, etc.). Five fucking thousand more. It isn't about the money anymore, it is about the principle. And clearly, they don't have any.

Happy to report...

That they have pulled "Inconceivable" from the fall lineup!
