Good heavens, it's been a while, hasn't it?

Let's see. We have a stroller and it's wonderful. We have taken it to the zoo, the mall, and places in between. Nordstrom's women's lounge is great for breastfeeding. I attempted shoe shopping today and Master A was only happy in the stroller as long as we were moving. That made it difficult to try on shoes. We met C for lunch pre-Target and Master A slept the entire time in the sling. He's sleeping still, so I am blogging. C and I even managed to take the sling off me with the baby still in it so I could go to the bathroom, then put it back on me without waking A. Amazing!

A's been on a feeding binge, which might explain the lack of blogging. He's been eating every two hours again for the last, oh, three or four days. I've been getting out when I can to the infant massage class, which is nice, especially because they have a scale where I can weigh him pre- and post-feeding to see how much he's getting (3.5-4 oz. a feeding, if you're wondering). Last week, he was 13 pounds, 6 ounces, but now on the cusp of 12 weeks, he is now 14 pounds, 2 ounces. He's huge. That's a huge jump in weight from one week to the next.

We got a crib this week at Target. We tried to get one at the Baby Hellhole but they weren't carrying the one we liked in stock, so Target it was. We're not into this fancy schmancy nursery stuff, still renting here. I've also ordered a diaper bag for myself, since the one we have isn't big enough for all the crap I want to carry when I'm out all day (my wallet and phone, another outfit, his hat).

I packed up the last of my work stuff today. All that's left is to pack up my PC and ship it back, which should be happening tomorrow. I need to call FedEx for a pickup.

My ILs are coming back to town, which is a welcome surprise so soon after their last visit, but that means that the house needs to be a lot cleaner than it currently is. I bought toilet cleaner at Target so there is hope.

Our darling boy is getting much more engaging, smiling responsively and staying awake and alert for longer periods of time. He's more self-amusing as well, which is nice. He's working on his hands, namely getting his thumb in his mouth. This means he spends a lot of time with his hands straight out in front of him balled into little fists. It looks like he's driving a car.

I scooped ice cream and the cats have abandoned me so I bet they're eating it. Drat.
