silly rabbit!

kevin is a very hands on daddy during the day. not so much at night because, well, i'm the only bar in town if you know what i mean.

anyways, i fed nora lunch today while he was home and when i was finished i handed her off and asked him to burp her while i ran and got something to drink out of the kitchen. he said, "surrrre!" and started patting her on the back.

when i came in a couple seconds later i found him patting her tummy and then her butt, then her tummy and then her butt again.

i said, "ummm... surely you don't think you're going to get the burp out that way, right?" he goes, "well... i tried it your way and it didn't work."

great. gotta love kevin and nora bird.

BFP! (BIG FAT POSITIVE!)

exactly one year ago today. :) hahaha - gotcha.

i can't believe it has already been an entire year since that day. time has FLOWN by! i can't even begin to imagine how fast this next year is going to go. nora bird is exactly 4 months old today and it seems like may 19th was just yesterday.

isn't it crazy that i kind of miss being pregnant? :) it's just such a miraculous time in a woman's life. feeling movement and the anticipation of a new family member is just amazing.

my oh my, what a difference a year makes!

hush my mama...

so it really is no secret. i've often been told i talk a lot. i didn't think i talked THAT much...

until now. bird folded both ears over and fell asleep. bwwwahahahaha! she was tired of listening. great. a little preview of whats to come in about 15 years. :)

skidmarks are no fun...

i know... sexy. don't you love it when you blow your nose so much you accidentally rub off a good portion of your face? i know i do.

so, bird and i are sick. sick as crap. it's not fun. just when you think you kind of have a handle on this whole being someone's mommy thing something comes up... this time it was illness.

i was talking to kev today and asked him, "remember when i just drank a bunch of NyQuil, mixed in some decongestants and just slept sickness off like a bad hangover? yeah... those days are long gone my husband."

bird and i are all stuffed up, can't hardly breathe hot messes. it absolutely breaks my heart to see her sick. she doesn't know how to blow her nose so while her precious face doesn't have skid marks the inside of her little nostrils show some wear and tear from my boogie-plunging efforts. she's got little red rings around her eyes and every now and then a tear streams down her face. she's not crying... just tears.

the what to expect in the first year book said that there is nothing more sad, vulnerable and pathetic than a sick baby... except that baby's parents. so true. soooo true.

i took bird to the doc today just to make sure she didn't have the swine flu. cause i'm cool like that. :) good news... she doesn't. yikes. give a first time mama a break, k?

we're running 101 degree temperatures - which is always really fun. except not really. i wish i could just take her sickness away. i'd be double sick for double as long if i could. breaks my stinkin' heart.

i asked her pedi if he would just admit both us... i have no idea what i'm doing and am feeling a little out of my league... he thought it was funny. i was serious.

so please... if you pray - please keep bird in mind. sick babies are just heartbreaking. :(
