valancystirlingTopie weighs 17 pounds. Incidentally, that's 4 ounces shy of the targeted doubled birth weight by six months. Instead of congratulating or thanking me for doing such a good job nourishing Topie with my own body all day and much of the night while he sleeps undisturbed, he gives me a hard time about not remembering to take my vitamins every day.
Because I have a real history of being a bad, neglectful mother. I always put myself first. Sometimes I forget I even have a baby. Most of the time, actually. Wait--do I have a baby?
So really, no mother's day gift will make up for the periodic shit like that.
I give up.
She's 26+ inches long, which is a good jump from the 21 inches she measured at birth.
Topaz screamed during the entire appointment. She wanted to eat the stethoscope, and the doctor explained to her that she could eat the tongue depresser instead, but dammit, she wanted to eat the stethoscope. So that was fun. No problem with the vaccine issue. We'll reevaluate at the two-year point. I'm very relieved. I don't think she was happy about it, but she didn't argue.
It's hot out. Not like Houston hot, but hot enough so that the car isn't fit to put a baby in until I've had the doors open and AC blowing for a few minutes. I can't imagine having a baby in a climate like that.
I just took my fucking vitamins.
Topie is sleeping in the cosleeper. I should probably be doing something more productive but oh well. I did just put up Topie's diapers on a makeshift clothesline outside. So that's something I guess.
Ugh. That's all I have to say right now. I have emails to reply to but I'm so socially inept I never know what to say.
