Eat, Cry, Poop
I kind of feel like I’m playing a version of “Paper, Rock, Scissors”, except that it has been changed to “Eat, Cry, Poop”. The only difference is that in this game, crying beats everything else.
Felicity wore us out yesterday, spending a large portion of her time balling, but today she graciously had mercy on us. In fact, she fed really well, never cried, and just stared around with those fantastically dark blue eyes that you can just get lost in. I’m probably going to jinx myself, but she has not spit up anything yet. I just know there is coming a time when she will be looking up at one moment and covering me in a nice shade of Gerber the next. Maybe I will just burp her facing mommy until her first unleashing.
Jenn is doing really well. She is up walking around and is taking very little pain medication. She is quite bruised from nursing but other than that, she is hoping that she might have the opportunity to go home tomorrow. We should find something out in the morning.
For those wondering about my fight with the crippling couch/ paralyzing pullout, I think I have found a solution. Starting last night, I realized that the nurses are on 12 hour shifts, covering three different positions. The nursery nurses, the care nurses, and the administrative nurses. Patiently waiting for each one during a rotation, I began to ask them for an extra pillow. Once I would get one, I would quickly hide it away and ask the next nurse for a pillow. Here is the result:
Awesome. I’ve taken what must have been bought from Guantanamo Bay as a torture device and turned it into something that the Michelin Man would approve of. If we stay another day, I’m going for the double pillow stack…
- Jennifer’s Aunt Louis with Felicity. She makes AMAZING custom cards!
- John and Jeri Taylor, INCREDIBLY thoughtful people that Felicity will absolutely love!
- Pam is a part of Jenn’s women’s group and is an awesome friend to her
- Janna, also part of Jenn’s women’s group. She is GREAT!
- You could get lost in that stare!
- Now that is a true pillow top!!









Congratulations on your new addition to your family and your pillow trick was very very sneaky!
Wow…truly awesome! Including the makeshift bed…no that I would expect any less of you. And by the way, perfect timing…you actually escaped the first cycle of death meeting.
This is Mrs.Chamber’s old student from 3rd grade, Emily Zinger. (sorry about the spelling.) Your husband is so creative, and funny. How are you and the baby? Have you gotten my 4 e-mails? Get ready to not sleep for ages! You can call us or contact us to babysit or anything like that! Oh and Alison wants to babysit too. Feel better, Bye
Love, Emily Zinger
