What a wonderful story. Images of space and hints of deep seeded feeling and complexity. In such a simple form.

Lovely!

Yah Baby,

Shoot all of it. Make us see how beautiful the world is through your eyes.

Withdrawal is a terrible thing, even when you have an excellent replacement like that gorgeous little boy. Just go easy on yourself and you may find that it gets a whole lot easier.

Not to mention, plan some stuff for you to do alone and for you and Brucy... or better yet, plan to have little man gone for an evening and a morning, then decide what you are going to do then.

I think we should do a regular Sunday brunch type thing.

It could take the edge off both of us.

What say you, penny lane? Starting on September 26, the day after I write the LSAT?

I bet a lot of your friends go "awwwwwww, so cute, adorable, handsome, looks like..., isn't he precious". You know what it's all true!
I am now in the grandpa mode. I have a two year old grandaughter and a two month old grandson. They are "awwwwwww, so cute, adorable... You know the drill.
Yes there are regrets for youth and some freedom but there are much more awwwwwwwws and OOOOOOOs. :-)

2009-04-28T13:52:00.000-05:00

think yoga would be good.. or even just a nice fucking walk outside. The heavy feeling was unpleasant yesterday, but I've been stressed - to the point of making my innards flip flop and work against me. I need fresh air and de-stressers.

Yes, eating the rice cereal.. you have to come over for dinner sometime soon so you can give him a spoonful of that crap :)

i really would like to do some yoga with you - is the heavy feeling unpleasant, alarming, scary, or just unusual, even positive-feeling?

2009-02-12T00:44:00.000-06:00

I was just doing research on SIDS and came across your blog. I wouldn't worry too much about SIDS - it's basically like a 1 in 4000 chance and it's actually probably even less than that in reality. And once an infant can lift their head the rate of SIDS goes down very dramatically from the 1 in 4000.

Here are some things you might want to consider about sleep position though.

Infants that sleep on their backs compared to infants who sleep on their stomachs have increased rates of:
- Social skills delays at 6 months (Dewey, Fleming, et al, 1998)
- Motor skills delays at 6 months (Dewey, Fleming, et al, 1998)
- gastroesophageal reflux (GER) (Corvaglia, 2007)
- Milestone delays (Davis, Moon, et al., 1998)
Also back sleep causes increased rates of:
Plagiocephaly, Torticollis, apnea, etc. etc. etc.

Back sleep is said to lower the risk of SIDS because it does not allow an infant to get Deep Sleep (Stage 3/4 NREM sleep) which is when Babies primarily die of SIDS. Stage 3/4 NREM sleep is also when much of a babies plasticity and memory consolidation happens. But, their is speculation that the SIDS statistics really aren't right in the first place so who knows. All the Best!
