Home Again, Home Again, Jiggidy Jig

|
The pu clan have returned from our NorCal working vacation consisting of:
  • Ski week vacation in Tahoe
  • GDC convention and hob-nobbery
  • Freelance writing
  • Catching up with close friends
But no matter how much we enjoyed our trip (and we did!), there's no place like home. iPu cried the entire cab ride home (new tooth). Upon arrival, she re-explored the downstairs rooms, and climbed every surface, all the while exclaiming 'Oh!'. After dinner, Bpu and I hooked up the replacement for the RecalledDVDPlayer and caught a few minutes of her favorite movie to verify it worked. Cpu took a long-overdue bath, and I dorked out on the puter. Rock.

Adventures of the Hydrophilic Baby

It turns out, like her sister Bpu, iPu loves the water. The day iPu learned to scoot and the day she learned to pull herself up were not much, compared to the day I set her down and gave Bpu a bath. While standing and running the water for Bpu, I discovered that iPu -- who I had left far down the hall with a pile of toys -- under foot.

Damn. That's one fast baby.

The motivation? Water. Bath water, to be precise. This kid loves to splash and play, the first real giggles I've heard from her. It's a real joy to see the girls play in the bath. If only she would puke before or while in the bath, instead of when being toweled off to dry ...

Sweet Home Chicago

Well, more like Oak Park. We closed the Deal; sellers missed some asbestos (they are fixing) but stole our window air-conditioners (debating). Bpu continues our tour of Chicago-land hot dog joints by approaching melt-down, which you can read all about.

Baby Is Here

iPu and Cpu doing ok. Baby is happy and healthy, nursing ok, awaiting results of GBS test. 7lb 14 oz. and 21 inches long, February 7, 11:17 pm.

Cpu's bag broke February 7th, 5:15 pm. Cpu contacted my inlaws, who were in the area working, and they came buy afterwards to watch Bpu. Early labor persisted until about 8:30 pm. Cpu was pretty active, talking, cooking through contraptions until about 8:00. Dinner, muffins, and a coleslaw salad were made during the day. Not to mention the Bpu needed tending.

I called Chicago doula at onset of active labor, about 8:30, and Cpu took a shower while I cleaned up the kitchen and dining room. Then we worked together on hypnosis. Cpu needed a lot of counter pressure, and believed that the baby needed turning. Unable to turn baby with positioning. Chicago doula arrived at 9:30 pm, and after about 15 minutes informed us that we should get to the birthing center. In between contraptions, we got Cpu's coat, hat, etc. on. It is very cold here right now. I split extra stuff with Chicago doula and put it all in the car.

The green choo choo did not start. Did I mention that it is cold out and my wife is in active labor?
