Now that I have half a clue what I'm doing, the biggest challenge for me is how unpredictable daily life is. I never know if Brenden is going to nap half the day and give me plenty of time to get things done, or if I'll be lucky to get to go to the bathroom. He was really fussy over the weekend. Adam had to call me to come home while I was at the mall, and Sunday night Brenden cried and kicked for 2 hours before falling asleep. I prepared myself for a repeat performance last night, but he fell peacefully asleep nursing at 9:00. I thought he might get unruly when he was awake for 2 hours in the middle of the night, but he just looked around all bright-eyed and content.
Poor guy is losing his hair and has baby acne. He also has ingrown toenails on his big toes. The pediatrician told me to "roll" the nails out from under the skin, but I'm not having any luck yet.
We received the hospital bill for Brenden's birth, which for my care was $30,000! My prenatal care was probably another $20,000, but our insurance paid almost everything. I am very thankful for that. If we were uninsured I would have had to do my own c-section.
I was sad to hear about Michael Jackson. Sure he was creepy, but watching his old videos on MTV brought back a lot of childhood memories.
