Oh, What to Blog About? September 2, 2007
I actually have a free minute to blog, but I’m just sitting here staring at the computer. Nothing’s coming out. I don’t know if it’s because I have nothing to say or because I’m too tired to think well enough to write.
It’s not like I don’t have things that I’ve been wanting to blog about. I still would like to get around to devoting a post to breastfeeding. That’s not a topic for a quicky post written in the midst of sleep deprivation, though.
I’ve thought about blogging about the fact that we recently received our annual cryopreservation statement in the mail for the lone vial of sperm we have left in the deep freeze. That little piece of paper can bring up all kinds of thoughts about our past and our future. The bottom line, however, is that neither Dan or I are ready to discuss or even give considerable thought to whether or not we’ll ever try again for another child. Right now we are just so thankful to have Adam, and we’re just going to enjoy him as much as we possibly can. We sent in our $300 not because we’re sure we’ll ever use that sperm but simply as a way to postpone any decisions on the subject.
I could blog about a book on IVF that I was sent to review, but I haven’t had time to read it yet. I’m looking forward to getting to it, but I just haven’t been able to yet.
I could blog some more about sleep issues, but there’s not a ton to say. Some days are better, some days aren’t. I’m tired. Really tired. It will get better, though, eventually. At least I hope it will.
I could rant about how much I hate Adam’s helmet. He’s got 9.5 weeks left in it (for a total of 3.5 months) and I’m counting down the days. I hate how it makes him uncomfortable. I hate how it affects his sleep. I hate how I keep having to take him in to have it adjusted because it never seems to fit exactly right. I sure am thankful that he’s completely unaware of how people laugh and stare at him and whisper “aw, poor little baby” at him out in public. I’m so, so glad that I’m the one that gets to deal with that and not him.
I’ve been fantasizing about ways to destroy the darn thing when he’s done with it. It gets me through the day, what can I say. The good news, though, is that we can already see a difference in his wonky head, so it’s nice to know that we aren’t putting him through this for nothing.
I could blog some more about Adam’s food sensitivities. That’s a never ending topic, for sure. The latest on that front? He’s been reacting to my vitamins. Yep, you read that correctly, my freaking vitamins. It took me a while to figure that one out, but sure enough, that was the culprit. He’s still not on solid food, and I’m not sure when he’ll be able to tolerate it. It’s a good thing he’s a big fan of the boob.
Or I could simply post a picture of our little man. Yep, I think that’s what I’ll do. I’ll figure out what to blog about some other day.

I’m sorry the sleep stuff isn’t getting better, I’m sure the helmet just makes things worse! Here’s hoping the next 9 weeks fly by. He is SUCH a little cutie Amanda. I love those thighs!!!
He’s looking very delicious, Amanda. I think you’re doing an amazing job managing his allergies; you’re such a great mum. xx
Your son is such a cutie! I know time flies when you have a baby and soon you can toss the helmet however you like. He’s definitely worth the stress of impolite strangers… so sorry to hear about that. But go, you!
Oh look at those thighs!! I can’t even imagine with the helmet - but with everything else, I can imagine you being able to take stupid bastard comments on the chin. So much so far - what’s a little more? Not long now though - I know how hard it is to see or feel like they’re suffering (oh how I know - just had an emergency room run this weekend), but he won’t remember it and you’ll have so much fun burning his helmet (or saving it in case #2 needs it?) or running it over with the car. He he - that might be fun.
Hey - why don’t you post about your various helmet destroying fantasies?
Adam has sqeezalicious thighs just like Aiden - I LOVE them!
Yes its difficult to focus on a blog topic when you’re sleep deprived and have an infant to think about. I so remember those days! But I for one, enjoy the pictures even if you have nothing to write about so keep them coming. He’s getting bigger all the time and he’s such a cutie! I hope his helmet-wearing days will fly by quickly for you.
He is so cute!
Such a cutie!
He is adorable helmet or no helmet. Though I can imagine you’ll both be glad to say goodbye to it!
(Can you get a sticker that says (It’s rude to stare!) Or something more clever than I can think of?
OMG - He’s scrumptous Amanda! What a cutie-patootie!
