is it unlucky to end at 13?

Random day

1.) Blogger has decided that it hates me and my pictures, so the picture that nurse Linda took in a superman costume will have to only be seen in your mind's eye. I don't know what to do. (the picture is of GREYDON in a superman costume, not a self-portrait of Nurse Linda, that would be a surprise photo gift I might not appreciate quite as much.)

2.) When making your homemade "Zachy" with a ziplock baggy and a bunch of rice.. the pre-flavored saffron rice will eventually have an oder that leaks through the baggy and makes you wonder why your baby smells like India.

3.) Who remembers forever ago the air conditioner saga? Finally we got a unit that worked, didn't shoot shards of plastic out making horrible exploding noises in the middle of the night. The company that installed it in the window for us finally was able to come over to take it out the other day. The worker un-screwed the supports and then came back in to pull it into the house through the window. A large rumbling crashing noise later and the wide-eyed worker is just standing in our living room holding nothing except the front grill of an air conditioner. I could only laugh. Luckily it didn't land on the car and even though it doesn't look too bad they agreed to buy us a new unit if this one has any problems next year, in writing even.

4.) "Sleeping" has nothing to do with being quiet.

5.) "Sleeping"has nothing to do with nighttime.

6.) "Sleeping" is discouraged during accounting classes.

7.) "Zachys" are worth their weight in gold.

8.) Bassinets are built ridiculously close to the ground.

9.) Stooping all of the way down to one millimeter off the ground while trying to change a diaper around 3 different squirming cords is less than convenient and even a little painful.

10.) Yes Mother did know that, no I didn't believe her, and yes we are moving the changing table back into the master bedroom as per her original suggestion. (fine)

11.) Cousins who are willing to come take professional photographs of cute little babies rock. (thanks Jen, can't wait to see them)

12.) All of the world's problems can be solved by nuzzling the neck of a cuddly baby, well maybe not tsunami's, they travel too fast to notice, but everything else, solved!

13.) 4 1/2 days after going home from the NICU seems like far too soon and way too long all at the same time to go to our first doctor's appointment. (we'll keep you informed)
