Fussy Baby

Today Adam has been especially fussy today. I think it is because I had a pepsi last night. I just could not resist the caffiene, but will avoid it in the future. He finally fell asleep about an hour ago, after needing to be held all day. I think that the fussy spell of today is offically over, and I am sure glad. I will post some cute pictures that I took with my phone later...

Dedicated to Blogging

So I have decided to become more dedicated to blogging, now that I have baby Adam. I think that this is a good way for people to stay in touch. So please stay posted for new pictures and posts. I do have a lot more time on my hands, since I am on maternity leave for the time being. So stay posted...

Twilight

So I read all of the Stephanie Myers' Twilight series, and went and saw the movie on opeining night with my cousins (I know I am a dork, and not 15, but could not resist). But my friend, Leena, from work, is totally obsessed with Twilight and Edward. She is so obsessed that she invited me to a Twilight viewing party at her home next week. I am debating whether to go, because I would have to bring the baby with me. But I am looking forward to going to see everyone from work and to watch this horribly cheesy movie with my friends.

When we were speaking on the phone earlier, Leena and I were remembering the movie and how cheesy parts of it were. The most cheesy part was when Edward revealed his true self in the light. He looked like they had smeared him with Crisco and rolled him in glitter. I do look forward to seeing that part again. Hopefully the next movie will have a bigger budget and the special effects will be better. But who knows?

Basinett

The wonderful nurses at my work all pitched in and bought me this wonderful basinett. Adam has been sleeping in it so well. It even rocks like a cradle, so late at night when he gets a little fussy, I can just rock him back to sleep without getting him out of bed. He is quite the noisy little guy, making all kinds of coos and ahhs at night. I am not so sure how much longer he will last in our room, we may have to move the basinett into his room. He still looks too little for his giant crib. The basinett is just low enough that Casey can look in and check on Adam. It is so cute to see her peering over the edge of the basinett and just making sure that he is OK.

Casey has been doing pretty well with Adam. Although when he cries very loud, she still runs and hides under the bed. I think that his shrill cry is just too much for her doggy ears.

Everything is going well, but mom and dad are tired everynight. We can't wait for my mom to come back next week and spoil us a little more. All in all everything is going very well.

Working in the Snow

Today, when I woke up there was a sheet of ice on Hess Road, and I had to go to work. Well, thankfully, JR decided to drive me. It took us about a 1/2 hour longer to get to Children's than usual, and Casey came in the car. I am sooooo tired though, because I got up at 4 in order to guage the whole road situation. Now, JR has to come and get me after work, too. So I got my wish which was to have a driver to and from work, but I also wanted it to be in a Lincoln Town Car. Oh, well, something to shoot for at least. PS- Baby Walters is doing well, and hanging in there. Only about 7 and a 1/2 weeks to go!

Blogging Loser

Lately, I have been a blogging loser! I have alot to catch the world up on. First, my birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I would like to thank everyone for all of the birthday well wishes. JR threw me a suprise party, and sorry to my friends who were not invited. MANY of my friends were not invited, he went thru my phone in the middle of the night and could not figure out who was who because of my cripted naming of people in the address book. Not to mention he was not as I-phone savy then as he is now. I was very suprised and had a very good time at the party in my honor.
Another great thing has been that my parents have been here a lot lately due to my father getting a job. He has been "non-office" working for the last couple of years. It is so funny to see him in a coat and tie again. I have really enjoyed having them here, even if they are in Bethesda and not staying with me or near me.
I have been back at work full time after my 23 day vacation. Vacation or staycation as I called it was really great. I got to spend time with my family, have my birthday and very special go "behind the scenes" at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum with my Aunt Frances. That was very cool and if you are ever in town, you must go on one of her tours, she has really thrown herself into volunteering at the SNHM, and has really learned a lot over the past couple of years there.
That is the update...I will post pictures as soon as I down load them into my computer.
