Okay. So I've seen "bacon" bandages before. But this takes the cake. Er, Bacon.

A Bacon Tux. It even SMELLS like bacon. Click on the pic and it will take you to the website.

Inspired by some of the other lovely blogs I subscribe to, I decided to post a list of Google searches by which people have found my blog...

We were both tired in that 2nd pic, but I know some people have been wondering what my new glasses look like. There ya go. WAY different than my old ones...

Daddy is FUNNY

AWWWW

So we've been able to tease a few smiles out of Kahlan in the past couple of weeks... she smiled for my grandma, and she'll smile for me sometimes when I'm changing her diaper...

But today, I started tickling her foot when she was in her swing, and I got a GRIN and almost a giggle...

I tried to take a picture, but of course she wouldn't repeat it once the camera was out...

We had a scare alright...

So yesterday afternoon, Rickey was in the bathroom. I was in the kitchen getting ready to give the baby a bath. The baby was on my bed swaddled up. Now, I know better than to put her right by the edge or she could roll off. What I didn't realize is that if her head is pointing towards the edge of the bed, even if she is in the middle of the bed, she can push herself off by kicking her legs around. So I hear a thump and a cry and I'm like, WTH? So I go see, and the baby has kicked her way out of the swaddling, off the bed, and is laying in the floor face down with most of her body on a pillow that was beside the bed. *insert PANIC moment*

I checked her over, and she was moving all her limbs and crying, but unhurt thankfully. I picked her up and soothed her for a bit and she started to calm down. I gave her a bath and she smiled and enjoyed herself. I fed her after her bath and she fell asleep smiling. Go figure. I guess it just scared her. I KNOW it scared me... but she's okay now. And boy did I learn a lesson...

heh... Thanks Uncle Sam

We got our economic stimulus check a couple days ago... went out to lunch, went to Hastings, went grocery shopping... still had about $400 left. (We got the minimum of $600 because our tax liability was $0)

So Rickey got paid today. And when I got up, lo and behold, my daily balance check e-mail was here, and there's over $1000 there. *squeeeeeeeee*
Too bad it's all got to go to bills.... *sigh* At least all my bills will be paid at the beginning of the month now, and we can spare some money for blowing later in the month...

It really feels nice to have money and not have to worry about making the rent before the landlady tries to kick us out...

My, How Time Flies

Kahlan is a month old today... and it seems like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital...

She had a Dr appointment yesterday. She's 22 inches long and weighs 9lbs 12oz. That's almost a pound and a half more than her birth weight. She's now in the 75th percentile for weight, and 90th for height. So she may be chunky, but she's TALL.

This really makes me appreciate what my mother went through... Kahlan is the same size now as I was when I was born... and my mom is a small person.

Anyway, she's drinking 4.5-5 oz at a time now when I bottle feed her, and she seems to never get full if I breastfeed... she's drinking everything I'm producing, AND burning through my pumped supply. I have 2 spare bottles pumped out right now, and I have a feeling they will be gone by the end of this week if her little growth spurt doesn't stop...

Little Chunker

erm, I mean... Kahlan is up a full pound from her birth weight.

We had a WIC appointment this morning and she weighs 9lbs 5oz, and is 21.5 inches long.

That works out to the 75th percentile for both weight and height, but only 25th percentile for weight/height combined... so she's tall and skinny basically... lucky girl, hopefully she will stay that way when she gets older... although then I might have to invest in a shotgun...

Let me tell you about WIC though... it is an amazing help. Since I'm breastfeeding I will be getting: (per month)
5.5 gallons of milk
3lbs of cheese
2 dozen eggs
36oz of cereal
7 bottles of juice (46oz bottles)
2lbs carrots
2lbs of dried beans
4 cans of tuna

and I will get a free electric double breast pump next month.


So we're going grocery shopping this afternoon... mmm....
