Yay Lucas did something new last night!

Up until now he has been pretty much non-responsive to outside stimuli – living in his own little world. the past week he’s started actually looking into our eyes esp when feeding instead of just looking vaguely around. well last night i saw him looking at the elephants that hang from the top of the crib…its the first time ive seen him even notice them. there are 3 in a row. when i whacked one with my hand and made it swing, his eyes followed it. then when i hit a different one, he would turn his attention to the new one. it’s the first time i’ve seen him actually respond to something! i was so excited i went to get the video camera. by the time i got it plugged in and ready to go, he had fallen asleep 😦

apparently it lasts forever since its just corn syrup and fruit syrup so i made a peach sangria just now (at 1230 at night…funny how in the old days this would be a normal time to be drinking but now it seems odd to me) anyhow it is YUMMY

why did yall put “maybe”? youre not going?

paul, in trying to entertain lucas, says “hey look at the elephants” and i turned around at the “hey look at” and he’s like “not you dumbass”

oreos are currently my primary form of sustenance

my right foot is asleep, again.

ya know that obnoxious music all kids toys seem to play? apparently its cause it actually works

oww my right foot hurts

does anyone know how to play a priest? i cant remember. it took me like 3 hours or something to DL all the patches and mods and reset my screen the way i wanted and redo my talents. on the armory page it listed me as “untalented”. now thats just rude.

lauren – i just answered like 3 of your previous comments

Today was Sarah’s wedding shower which was fun 🙂 One of her friends was surprised that i was out and about only 3 weeks after birth. afterward, kristie showed me how to use my car’s navigation system and i used it on the drive back up from peachtree city. it was pretty nifty…it showed me upcoming exits off the interstate, drive time/mileage to my destination, and lowered my music for me each time it “spoke” directions to me.

i hate when im listening to a brand new CD and i start recognizing songs on it. usually when that happens it means that i already own the CD and have bought the same darn CD twice w/o realizing it.

i got my birth announcements today so am going to be sending those out. im excited about that.

lucas had a 4 hour stretch followed by a 3 hour stretch last night! too bad i was up for half of it cause i wasnt expecting him to sleep so long. anyhow so i only ended up waking up for the 4am feeding and that was it.

im in the process of downloading WOW.

Lucas turned 3 weeks old today 🙂

last night paul took lucas all night so i got to sleep from 3am to 1pm yay!

ive also got my appetite back…thepast two days ive been eating normally the way i used to. it might be in part to paul having bought something called Dark Chocolate Dreams which is basically peanut butter + chocolate that ive been making sandwiches with.

yesterday dad’s cleaning lady cleaned our whole house top to bottom as a present from dad. very awesome to have mopped floors etc for once. i might see about having her come once a month or something if it’s not too expensive.

i used to be pretty good about keeping track of appointments/dealing with the business of life (as in dealing with my mail or whatever stuff has to be taken care of). now its like i live in a daze, put everything off until later, and suddenly im getting all these calls/emails cause it’s now “later” and i hadnt realized it. dad is having his maid clean my house tomorrow which he had emailed me about two weeks ago and i totally forgot. poor lady was calling me all day trying to figure things out for tomorrow and i was clueless. then also i had an email from sarah cause her wedding shower is saturday which id totally forgotten about ( i thought it was in like june or something) and had never RSVPed for. if she hadnt sent me a msg about it i would have totally forgotten and missed it, ack! one of these days here soon im also going to have to attack my growing Inbox before more stuff passes me by.

tomorrow we have to go back to the pediatrician for the state required newborn screening test thingy. they take his blood and test for like 9 diseases including one called maple syrup urine or something like that. luckily paul will be home afterall. since he wasnt helping the users the past two days he asked Mike if he was really needed in the office and Mike said no. so yay the two of us can go back to our normal (or what now passes for normal) sleep schedules.

i think i might give lucas a bath tonight. he managed to get spit-up in his hair which in effect gelled it into crazy spikes.
