Way to become the ancestor of a descendant, si DA man!

Thanks. Looks like PRG and mini-Dave (actual name pulled from small intersection of reasonable American names, reasonable Russian names, and names we like) are doing good so far.

And ANYTIME is a good time to sleep, si to zzz man.

Yes, but if he's out here and asleep, PRG and/or I can also sleep, which I understand is at a premium when infants are around …

"Sleep when the baby sleeps," yeah right man.

Big fallacy that we got snookered on, too, live & learn & sigh man.

When Mini-D. sleeps, you & PRG will race around doing all other non-baby stuff, trust us man.

The only two pieces of Baby Advice that we got that were dead-nuts on* were, see man:

     *and from the same amigo, too

        1.  Children will change your schedule, si man

        2.  They grow up SO FAST, savor every moment man

Actually, a Many'rd piece of advice came from Mama T-B. herself, see man:

        Many.  You have NO IDEA what's coming [financially, medically, stamina, sleep-lack, stress], no man

And, in general, general wisdom man:

        Many.  Children make strong marriages stronger but can strain weaker marriages, if for no other reason than you don't sleep for the first Many (2+1) years, truth man

 

Surely the unparalleledly experienced Ontarklar will weigh in with her sagelike insights, si man.

(Fecund parturient Ontarklar!  Fecund, FECUND parturient PARTURIENT Ontarklar!)

Meanwhile, best wishes to DA man, PRG, and mini-Aloysius McGillicuddy, si man and ma'am and pre-man man.

what we actually need for baby

1.  Money, $i man (not too late to enter the POTS business, probably man)

2.  More money, $i and $igh man

Many.  A GOOD pediatric clinic, many same- & next-day appointments available man

Many.  A GOOD night clinic, beyond hours of good pediatric clinic mentioned in Many above man

Many.  For boys, Huggies diapers, cheaper than Pampers man

             Luvs OK, Costco brand presumably OK, try small samples of cheaper brands without expectation man

Many.  Ask friends who get newspapers to save you the diaper et al. coupons from coupon sections, 

                adds up to a serious $Many00s in savings over the Many-year ([2+1]-year) diaperhood phase man

What are lowlights, huh Niki-B. ma'am?

[TBoneTX 45,598]

Pursuant to GOOD pediatric clinic, si DA man:  around-the-clock nurse phone consultation is crucial, si DA man.

In addition, have an inexhaustible supply of "infant gas drops" and fever-reducer available, si DA man.

Sat.-night / Sun. morn report, see man:

 

It had rained here pretty much all week through Sat. afternoon, yucky man.

Everyone's cars were filthy, expected result man.

 

Rain quit around sundown Sat., finally man.

Wind began drying streets, How Dry We Were man.

 

At around 1 a.m., we took the Mrs.-T-B.-mobile to the corner gas station for warshing, no line man.

We then took the T-B.-mobile for the same, again no line man.

This avoided the "wait in line behind everyone in town during the day at the car-warsh," brilliant man.

[TBoneTX 45,598]

Thrilling Sunday report, see man:

 

High temps here not in the Manys ([2x2x2-1]0s), but only around Many (2x2x2x2x2x2 - 2x2x2+1), outrageous man.

However, cloudless skies, Texas weather Many elsewhere sucky man.

 

We mowed front lawn, some grass many not-our-leaves man.

Looks like fairway at Augusta National, proud we man.

 

Did not leave the casa all day, perfect Sunday man.

Conquered the usual Many (2+2) heavy-weekend laundry loads, Thread Laundress we man.

 

Drilled Mini-B. on upcoming skool tests, weather & government man.

Hosted fluffy, purring Cat T-B. on lap multiple times, gregarious miu man.

Got 2-hour nap, zzz we man.

A good Sunday, si man.

[TBoneTX 45,598]

We have heard here from Niki-B. ma'am, si man.

Where are our absent/silent Commie- and other babes, huh man?

Buried under the permafrost, or merely frozen, huh man?  Other, huh man?

Absent/silent Commie- and other babes!  Absent/silent, ABSENT/SILENT Commie- and other babes!

Pretty nearly the 3rd, actually. He's due at the end of April. Second trimester is definitely better than first, though; she was tired all the time in the first, and had morning sickness for a while (not terrible; it was pretty much only in mornings before breakfast, but not great either).

Place down the street that PRG's normal prenatal visits (and my regular doctor) are at also has a pediatrics unit and an urgent care center and we've been happy with them so far, though we haven't picked out a pediatrician yet. Though that doesn't cover between late night and early morning. I guess we'll figure it out.

 

Also, mama-Dave probably will come out here for a while (exact timing is uncertain, as due date is the day after middle-brother-Dave's 40th birthday; would think if conventional wisdom of first babies taking longer was accurate, hospitals would know and tell you a later date, right?), which should be helpful.

Age of mid-bro-DA-man precised, P-math failure man.

One can have/celebrate a Many'th birthday anytime, duh man.

One can birth a first descendant only once, obviously man.

Mama-DA-man should be present for the latter occasion, ancestress of a descendant man.
