NURSING ON THE GO

I'm enjoying figuring out this whole breastfeeding thing. Today, my mom, Pax and I had our 1st walk. We walked to Larchmont (approx 1/2 mile away) and little man was ready to feed by the time we were walking back...so I managed to walk and nurse. My
mom said..."not bad for only 5 days at it."

PAX ROGERS

40 weeks, and 6 days. On January 26th at 7:10 am, we welcomed a healthy 8 lb 4 oz, 21 inch baby boy into our world. I labored for approximately 19 hours but only pushed for approximately 35 minutes. It was an amazing experience. I never knew I could fall so in love so fast.

40 WEEKS, 4 DAYS

Of course our child is stubborn. He/she has 2 of the most stubborn parents around. Although, it's comforting to know that the "average gestation for first time white mothers is 41 weeks and 1 day"....per my sophisticated internet research. Twinkles has until Monday to hit the average.

On Monday, I went to yoga and Aaron and I walked 5.5 miles....to Target and Blockbuster. Yesterday, yoga and walking again. Wednesday, yoga and walking again.


Well, in case you're wondering what's on today's agenda to encourage Baby Rogers to come out...castor oil, herbs, yoga, walking, stair climbing and DANCING!

Baby is healthy and amniotic fluid is a plenty. I'd prefer not to induce. My doctor will
let me go as far as 42 weeks.

40 WEEKS PREGGERS

On Twinkle's due date, we had a fun-filled day at church, eating out, the zoo...and eating out, again. No idea when this baby is arriving. He/she still seems to be sittin' rather high.

Aaron's favorite animals at the zoo are the monkeys, apes, chimps, etc.....and mine are the big cats. Too bad...most of the monkeys were out of sight....as were the tigers. We did have fun watching the lions though. I've posted a few highlights below.

COUNTING DOWN

As Twinkles continues to contemplate when he/she wants to make his/her grand entrance into the world...I continue to nest and work at distracting myself. Today, I managed to pack in a walk and a yoga class then Aaron and I went to lunch with friends and then visited the La Brea Tar Pits and 2 "museums" on Hollywood Blvd. (The Hollywood Wax Museum and the Guinness Book of World Records Museum).

Anywho, the newest additions to Casa Rogers include a fabulous piece of art by Cathy Lancaster and lamp shades for my turquoise mid-century lamps. Thanks to my parents for the artwork.....a perfect and oh so generous Christmas gift.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy 2008! We went to the Disney Concert Hall last night with Rob and Julie for a "A Night in Paris" with Rufus Wainwright and Belinda Carlisle. The show was rather lame....although Rufus is quite talented. Nonetheless, we enjoyed our 1st trip to this venue. We spent the rest of the evening playing games at a friend's house. Fun! Happy New Year!
