Elliot. Emory’s Black Eye.
Elliot and Toby. Elliot started laughing and smiling a week ago, which has made life all the more awesome. Elliot. Five weeks. (He turns six weeks today!) Emory and his latest black eye. He got this jumping over a broomstick. At one point, he tripped and hit the coffee table. I had warned him, and…

My Baby Won’t Let Me Put Him Down
Elliot is a little over 4 weeks old. Things are going well. He sleeps relatively well at night. I am not a zombie in the morning. He wakes up about three times from 8 PM until 7 AM and that’s totally doable. It helps that I’m breastfeeding AND co-sleeping (JUDGE AWAY!) because when he wakes,…

Em Diapers His Babies
Elliot outgrew newborn diapers almost immediately. For a baby who lost so much weight in the first couple of days, he sure seems to be making up for that now. I’m not complaining; I’ve always had a fondness for babies who are so fat their hands look as if they’re popped into their arms at…

======================
Edited to add: Murray updated the title of this post while I was away from the computer. So, I’m going to leave it as is. Apparently he wanted it this way. I’m not sure what he was trying to say, but there you go. The problem with sitting around attached to a newborn all day…

Happy International Women’s Day! I Have Mastitis.
EDITED TO ADD: OK, so things have gotten MUCH better. I thought I should mention. The pain is almost entirely gone and we’re breastfeeding 75% of the time. I just thought I’d share the update. This is not a boast, however. I still went through Stupidville to get here. But now that I’m here, it’s…

Maternity Clothing.
I’m using my blog for this because I feel weird about sending out a mass-email asking my New York friends if they are pregnant or thinking about getting pregnant. Seems entirely to presumptuous and rude. I know that when I was desperately trying to get pregnant, had someone written me out of the blue asking…

The Silence of the Boobs.
Forgive me for any grammar/spelling errors in advance. I’m writing this quickly as I am paying a woman decent money to come over, look at my boobs and help me figure out how to make them feel better. How I will get through this awkward meeting without booze? No clue. But getting drunk and working…

Brothers.
Introducing Emory to a new sibling has been both amazing and a little difficult. (Granted, some of that might be my hormones talking.) I’ll write more about that transition soon. But for now I want to share this shot. The moment Em walked into the visiting room he said, “Where’s my baby brother?” And he…

President Elliot Kiki Cujo Robert Boudreaux Is Here!
We have a baby, folks. Elliot Robert (Robert is my father, older brother’s name) was born at 8:16 PM on February 21st. He’s 8 pounds, 12 ounces–an entire pound heavier than his big brother. He’s amazing. He’s doing well. I’m so happy for my family. I will have more details soon! The labor was much…
