Postpartum My Eggo Update: Week 4

Things that have happened in the last week:

1. I spilled a $2.99 glass of Charles Shaw Chardonnay on our $1,500 laptop, basically rendering a very large paperweight. Hence, the lateness of this post. Craptastic.
2. The Cool Cucumber slept all the way through his first feeding one night only for me to wake up for his second feeding to the first snowfall of the year. Magical.
3. We have decided that every time one of our kids gets on our nerves so bad that we want to scream at them that we are going to give them up for adoption that we will just yell, "Twinkies!" at the top of our lungs. It is a very effective stress reliever.
4. The Cucumber and I started baby yoga this week. When I whipped out a formula bottle to feed him and then proceeded to change his non-cloth diaper, some of the harpies in the class audibly gasped. Screw you, hippies. Mama has her hands full and the last thing I need is to carry around is a shitty diaper all day to make you feel better. I recycle, so there.

Postpartum tip of the week: If you keep track of baby's eating, sleeping and pooping, download the free Similac Baby Journal app in iTunes. I did and it is a life saver. With The Quiet Contemplator, we kept track of everything on paper in tiny stupid slots, this app allows us to keep track of The Cool Cucumber's activities in an organized manner that helps us track what he has done for the last day/week/month, email it to our Dr if needed, project what he will be doing in the next coming days, etc. It rocks. It is great for breast feeders, too. It even let's you record which boob you are feeding from. The pee/poop recording part cracks me. There are three dirty diapers you choose from. One with a blue line in the front, one with a blue line and brown spot and one with just a brown spot. If that isn't funny enough, once you select the correct diaper, you enter a screen with a slide down of like 15 colors of poop and another slide down with like 15 consistencies. Being this detailed or recording it at all might seem stupid to some of you, but it came in hella handy when The Cucumber got constipated and we needed to track when the last time he actually went was and report all of the details to our pediatrician. Anyhoodle. If you are interested, you can download it for free here. Enjoy!
