i dont wanna work, i just wanna bang on a drum all day - lalala...
my work starts in 10 minutes. i now live probably a 45 minute drive from work. instead of sitting miserably in traffic, i'm still at home, surfing the net off somebody's unprotected wifi. maybe i could go to the supplier's and pick up something for work, thus excusing my retardiness to nearly zero.

had a brilliant idea today - white rappers should be called wrappers :)
sure you cant really tell just be listening to it being said, but they'll know what you mean... :)

ah, the joys of daddyhood :)
just spent my first (nearly) sleepless night for my boogie :)
first i was researching whether its ok for babies to drink cows' milk - turns out they cant process the protein very well, and it has to be broken down. basically all websites now seem to be saying that baby formula making is so strictly regulated that it is impossible to ever achieve the quality that commercially available formula have, if u were to try and make ur own at home, so dont even try! that just sounds wrong. even if it is true. so other than mother's milk, you have to pay for a chemical soup for you baby, and it is unconscionable to do anything else. phx and her bro's were raised on home-made formula. i know ur not supposed to apostrophesizeate "bro's" but i felt it should be made immediately visually clear that "bro" is the root of the word, and then its just a small step for man to jump to the conclusion that its an abbrev of "brother". and thats right - period after quotation mark, because the period wasnt part of the quote. other than that, i got very lazy about putting apostrophes where they belong, if the meaning is clear. i didnt stop using them because i didnt know where they go. went. omg, torture... hehe, where's the verb in that one, eh? ha! and i used an apostrophe! maybe i just delude myself that there's reason to my apostrophe madness.
our boogie is breastfed, but recently she's been wanting to eat a lot more, it seems. this seems to have coincided with a new feeding regimen recommended by a lactation specialist we went to the other day. maybe the new regimen fucked it all up. how are we to know? everybody and their fucken dog seems to have a different theory about baby feeding.
so boogie woke me up around 3 something this morning. maybe it was around 4. phx fed her according to the new regimen - still hungry. i burped her while phx expressed a bit more, then we fed her that - still hungry. i warmed her up some milk we had stored from last nite - still hungry. phx and her mom bought the ingredients to make home made formula tomorrow - but we needed it right now! who knew. so daddy put on his shirt and shorts, because his full length pants were in the bedroom where phx' mom sleeps, and scooted off to the local 7-11. they only had one kind of formula. scoot home, prep it, feed boogie - finally she got so drunk that while walking her around to relieve her obvious need for burping, she passed out. daddy was so happy :) happy are the parents whose child finally falls asleep content :)
look at me - blogging away about baby stuff - how things have changed :)

i'm not the avid, or rather addict blogger that my wife is, so i havent posted about the very recent arrival of our long awaited little bean - no aka Liliana - but we seem to just call her Lily :)
she's very cute, but recently mostly when she sleeps :) the poor thing has been having trouble with breastfeeding - she knows to suck, but gets freaked out when something actually comes out - i dont think i'd have to ask shenry to refrain, but then again, i just wrote this, so, where does that put us..?
awkward moments aside, i think Lily's jaundice was also making it harder for her, but she seems to have turned the corner just last night - after sunbathing for the whole afternoon, her jaundice seems to have subsided considerably, although the white of her eyes is still somewhat green, but her skin doesnt look like an orange anymore, and since about midnight she's been eating every 2-3 hours, like everybody says babies should, not every 7 like before. so it's been a bit of a sleepless night, and poor phx is just exhausted. and Lily has also been eating more consistently, with a much higher amount of long latches. hehe - look at me, using da baby lingo like it aint nuthin' but a thang, yos :) but she still gets these frantic lil' bouts when she's just too agitated to latch on and stay on.
ha! i just heard her cry out - back for another feedin' :)
but we love her so... :)
