From conception to birth...and then some. God, could it be that long since I've tapped out a posting??
Well, I suppose I've had other things on my plate. Lots of things on my plate, so it would seem - I gained 60 pounds during pregnancy. Good thing my bouncing baby boy accounted for almost 9 of that. I think water-weight was another 10 or so, as I had no ankles by the ninth month and none of my shoes could contain the fat little sausages that had previously been my feet.
Anyhooo, now that THAT's all over and done with, along with the joys of labor and delivery (one allergic reaction to antibiotics, two failed epidurals, a last-minute C-section and a 4-day stay in the NICU for the babe), on to bigger and better things. Things like raising this little monster. Things about which, on days like today, I feel that I know next to nothing. Not that I'm not up to the challenge of learning...and learning I am.
For example, I've learned that my child does not like the following:
his bassinet
pacifiers
baths
naps
car rides
the vacuum
the clothes dryer
tummy time
not being held while awake
not being held while asleep
Now, I guess I don't blame him for the vacuum because I hate it, too. But seriously? Who doesn't like naps and car rides??
So there you have it. Men truly are a mystery, even before they're men...

I am overjoyed to see you back! And I am impressed to see you back with all the time Baby must take up.
Girl, even just the short summary of your L&D sounds intense. I'll have to get the full details from you some time. All I have to say is that your son looks gorgeous and although he keeps Mama literally on her feet all day, I suppose it's not a surprise. You and Dan are both such adventurous spirits, is it any wonder that your boy is already always on the go? :)
Hope all is well, Krista! I can't wait to hear more about the new exploits of the Warren Family :)
aww shucks - thanks beckie!! yeah, dan is already talking about teaching cass to ride dirt bikes and skydive :)
Krista, my goodness, congratulations! We've been so wrapped up in our own whatevs over here that I totally missed this. It sounds like things have been a bit more hectic for you guys, but I'm so thrilled to hear that all is going well and you are up one awesome bebe!
