mamajoan: me in hammock (cool dude)

It's funny how things happen. I woke up Saturday morning not knowing what the heck I was going to do with myself and/or Isaac all day, and then I had an email from [livejournal.com profile] anotherjen inviting me to a party, and next thing you know my whole day is filled up. :) Isaac and I went with [livejournal.com profile] anotherjen and her mom, stepdad, and daughter to this party, which turned out to be a huge affair with lots of cool people. It was a lot of fun. There was a pool, and we went in, albeit briefly, as the water was a bit chilly and Isaac wasn't sure he wanted to go in and I wasn't in the mood to stand halfway into a chilly pool while he decided. ;) But at least I got to try out my new nursing swimsuit, and Isaac got to wear his cute little swimsuit with matching Hawaiian shirt (which you can see in the icon on this post, although now the clothes actually fit).

[livejournal.com profile] anotherjen has been trying to drag me into the fold of this big group of folks she knows, and it's not like I'm resisting at all, because they all seem very cool. A whole big network of pagan (or pagan-friendly), poly (or poly-friendly), geeky (or geek-friendly) people, most of whom either have kids or like kids -- what's not to like? :) So I was happy to go to the party and hang with some of those folks, even though we had to leave I guess kind of early and it sounds like the affair went on into the night with fun entertainment. Oh well! Isaac fell asleep in the car and it was a whole big thing trying to get him into the house without waking him up. It turned out to be a bit of a weird evening/night, sleepwise, but he did okay.

Sunday, I had arranged for Isaac's babysitter Sally to take him for a while, but we got our signals crossed as to location, so I went to her house and she went to mine. D'oh!!!! But we got that straightened out, and she looked after Isaac for 4-5 hours while I did laundry and vegged out. I felt mildly guilty for not making more productive use of the time, but really only mildly. I needed some veg time.

Had a REALLY bad night last night. :( Isaac's top front teeth were coming in and he woke up approx. every hour to hour-and-a-half, crying and in pain. :( Poor little guy! And then this morning he was still soundly asleep when I had to wake him up to go to daycare/work. I hate that. I feel like the meanest ogre in the world waking him up. But he only fussed for the briefest moment and then was all cheerful. What did I ever do to deserve such a happy, easygoing, resilient little boy? <3

Oh, and I think at least one of the teeth did break through, but he wouldn't let me look and I didn't want to push it.

If Issac is eating any solids, a frozen waffle is great for teething. They seem to like the coldness of the waffle and it just turns nice and mushy while the gnaw on it.

Just a thought. Sounds like a wonderful weekend.

Apparently, I am really stunned today. I can actually spell Isaac. My apologies.

Isaac is funny that way; he doesn't like cold things on his gums when teething. He actually seems to prefer warm. He's just weird I guess. (He also likes to nurse a lot more when teething, even though all the books say that teething babies nurse less. I guess Isaac hasn't read the books.)

Oh, and don't worry about the misspelling -- everyone does it. I suppose he'll hate it when he gets old enough to care.

Hi. It was nice to meet you briefly at the party on Saturday. Sorry that I had to run off, but I was chasing/dealing with kids.

Hey, thanks for posting. It was nice meeting you too and I totally understand. It was definitely getting a bit frazzling by that point.
