1 Kid = 8 weeks, 5.91 kilos, 1000 kisses daily
1 Night = 4 hours, 1 feeding, 2 more hours
1 Refrigerator minus 1 compressor = zero food, condiments and 4 day wait for repair
1 Refrigerator minus 1 compressor = 8 150ml bags of freedom breast milk down the drain
1 cat + 1 bladder infection= 5 visits to vet
1 new baby swing = countless nap hours
All is fine over here. New baby swing has Max sleeping, well, like a new mom who has been without sleep for 8 weeks. I’m sleeping better too. I woke him up one night because he was an hour late and I thought there had to be something wrong. Perhaps I worry too much. All my experienced mom friends thought I was nuts and instructed me to NEVER wake a sleeping baby and to count my blessings.
I’m going to do just that.
He’s asleep right now. Laundry is laundry-ing. Sparky is out. I’m going to nap in the nice cool air-conditioned room while the rest of Darmstadt melts in the humid hell-like conditions.
Thanks, Mike for the A/C. It works wonders.

LOVE IT! He looks like he is about to say, “Dude!”
Is there some unwritten rule in your mortgage that an appliance breaks down every few months? Sweetie, I think you have some gremlins in your wiring.

I loved our swing. I first felt bad for allowing The Boy to sleep in it, but dang if I didn’t need that sleep too! I love his double chin and cheeks! I love you both!

Love that hair!
If the compressor was still working on the freezer, freeze the mm next time.I know the pain! Or ask a neighbor for freezer space.
