It is almost the New Year and I’ve managed to almost completely waste another day of 2004!
Another night of bad pregnancy sleep that lapsed in one hour intervals from midnight to ten a.m. yet still left me feeling like I’d been up all night. Luckily I got a one hour nap in this afternoon which has refreshed me.
Yesterday Adventure Dad and I went to my last biweekly OBGYN appointment, from now on I go every week! The Dr. cecked around down there and said that Papaya is head down, as high up as she can get and I’m 1.5 cm dilated. We’ve certainly got at least another week and my new guess is January 25th which is BOTH the length of the average first pregnancy and a full moon!
Then, I made myself useful in the cleaning of this home - an area where I have been quite useless lately. What did I do, you ask? I went on Amazon and used the gift certificates from my Tutu to Adventure Dad and I for Christmas and bought a new vacuum since the one we currently have no longer sucks and has a strange burning smell when you run it. The old vacuum was our first married purchase, Adventure Dad hated to spend money on something so practical, so I’ll be sad to see it go for the nostalgia of it all. Then again it would be nice to have a vacuum that does more than leave lines in the carpet without cleaning.
On Amazon I also picked up a few books…one of which (Breast-feeding for Dummies) was recommended by my sister-in-law who how has two kids and one of them is up to 12 pounds at one month old. This of course makes her my expert:) She had a good point about a lot of the breast-feeding books out there - they seem to want to preach at you with the implication that if you don’t breastfeed you are evil. My question is, if we are already reading this book, are we really in need of such a lecture? It would seem we are already motivated to give it a good ‘ol college try.

Welcome to my blog.... by Papaya Mom on December 28th, 2004
I realized that although I love Papaya's site, the news function would work better for me as a blog.

Like Maggie Gyllenhaal who nurses her 8 month old daughter in public and KNOWS it's not a big deal - I mean AAP says a MINIMUM of a year so why is 8 months SO shocking?Like Joley Fisher who had a homebirth and did not hide it like some pariah - her body did what it's meant to do in a place where fewer interventions lowered her risk of complications.
A New Year! by Papaya Mom on January 3rd, 2005
We had a great New Year eating Cajun food at Mor Mor Bistro with friends:) The music was a bit loud and Adventure Dad felt like he was out of place without his AARP card but we had a nice time nonetheless.
