LORI BLOG: What, Dad? What?!

Lori's Blog Update

What? Huh? You have my attentions.

Oh? I'm pretty? Yes, I know.

Oh? I'm beautiful. Yes, I know that too.

No, I'm not a stinky baby anymore. You just changed my diaper. (Thank you!)

Yes, I'm all ready for derby now! But when are you going to keep working on my snap shot? Where's my sword, dammit? I have my skates!

And honestly, that one-zee is still too big for me. There's tons of OTHER clothes I could wear, a few I haven't even put on yet. Are you sure they still fit? And I'll prolly need new dress shoes soon. Those black ones are going to be too small in another month at best.

So, I'm glad we had this little sit-down heart-to-heart, Dad. Now, about that bib you got me. Mom said I could have a necklace...

I did not! Don't get me in trouble, Lori!

PICTURES SLIDE SHOWS

okay... so the long-ways pictures don't look right on a slideshow. oh well...

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

This Sunday, after church, we went to derby orientation. Yes, that's right,Lori. Derby Orientation! You learned all about what derby is, how to put on your skates and that you're totally lacking in your safety gear! But, maybe when you're sizes aren't so unpredictable, huh?

Oh! And Auntie Lene aka Pistol Kitten helped you skate too, remember that?

I do! You were looking around, trying to make sure you were doing it right. And you did perfect! A natural Rollerista! You even have the one-zee that says something perfect about you:

"Naturally Sweet. No Sugar Added"

It was perfect for Arlene. No sugar. Now, she can gobble you up with out any worries! :D

But, you have to get used to hair thingie, Lori-cakes. Taking off your headband is not cool, cause you'll have to wear a helmet when you skate Roller Girl Style!

But in the end, it was a blast. Even Abuela had a great time! :)

Baptismal

We'll be having her baptismal in April, and hopefully this dress will turn into something amazing for her. keep your fingers crossed that I can have this done by April 13th!

Currently, the dress is being ripped apart at the seams.

Planned for the dress: beadwork

YES!

Check it out!

LOL

omg.

Lori laughs, in her sleep.

It's super cute! And sounds just like Josh's laugh when he's trying to giggle softly!

ps: the decals on my helmet are ALMOST done. just got one last band i want to do in purples but i don't know what to put yet, and then, it's clear sealant for the win!

Rock Star

My daughter's a rock star! ROCK ON!!!

updates: funk & feelin' like crap

funk: chatted with lene and ceci. feelin' better. kathy took her from me today so josh and i could go to anniversary lunch. i was reluctant to let go. wasn't mad. just wasn't ready to let her go right at that very moment. yay

feelin' like crap: got radiologied in my tummy. pictures came back normal. i have guts, and they are where they are supposed to be. tried to get admitted in the hospital for observation, per doctor's orders, but no luck. left and went home. josh cleaned my incision, took my temp, and put me to bed. by the morning, was feelin' gr-r-r-reat! *tony the tiger finger up jump move* whatever it was that made me sick, my body fought it off. thank you for all the prayers.

imma sellout!

i got a myspace account

mostly so i can see the damned rollerista information.

Okay, here it is:

pain in my abdomen

aunt linda is coming over to take me to the doctor.
hurry up. i don't feel good.

lori's calm atm. thank god.

Funk

Josh and Kathy, both, are noticing I'm in a funk.

Post-partum.

Sometimes, I don't feel like she's really mine.

I insist on breastfeeding, even when it's clear she's just not getting satisfied by it. It feels like it's the only connection I really have with her. But then, sometimes, I feel like she's a leech and I've got no choice but to sit and be fed from.

And then they're stating I'm doing passive aggressive things. I'm not sure what those are.

But I know that I feel like she's not really mine. I see the devotion and love in her eyes when she looks at Josh or Kathy, but I don't see it when she looks at me.

And I've no problems with others holding her and taking her from my arms. Is that a warning sign I should have picked up on weeks ago?

-concerned-

PS: I ended up with the shakes today. So cold, and running a fever. Was given some Tylenol and curled up in a ball.

Crossed Wires

Or, rather, plumbing.

My daughter has her pipes crossed, so it seems.

Today, she wet her diaper. Not news worthing in and of itself, but when we went to change teh diaper, the front was completely dry. The back (and consequently her back and onesie) was wet.

Just this evening, she gave us a big ol' stinky poopie-diaper. Granted, we were overjoyed. It'd been over a day since she'd given us a poopie-diaper. (Apparently, she takes after me in the frequency of number 2. Her father, on the other hand, leaves a desposit after every meal.) What was special about this particular poopie-diaper was that the back of her diaper was clean, and the front was a mess. So much so that it coated her from poopie-diaper to armpits.

My girl has talent.

And crossed pipes.

PS: Vibrating bouncers rock at making her go poopie.
PSS: The movie Enchanted may have helped too.
PSSS: Plans are under way toward making her Baptismal gown. And Gramma brought me the raw materials. Only, I had asked for one wedding dress, not three holy communion dresses, but, beggars can't be choosers. I have beads a plenty. All I need now is some very pale pink satin ribbon. $1.88 per spool at Wal*Mart.

MOVIE Back Post: Rollie Pollie Lori

Already a roller girl, the book "What to Expect the First Twelve Months" states that the 'should be able to do this' month is month five.

Let's just say Lori's ahead of the bell curve on this one.

Her cousin Brent was too! He rolled at 5 weeks.
Lori beat him at 1 month, 3 days. MUAHAHA! I win. ;)

In other news, she had her doctor's appointment on Friday. She's officially 10 pounds now, and is healthy and happy. Whew!
