Okay this is the last time I will move URLs on this blog.  After trying unsuccessfully to a) upload a photo and b) change the looknfeel, I have decided to return to the hosted version of Wordpress.

So here you have it: over40mama.wordpress.com

The Fussy Baby Mysteries: Today’s installment

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

The bean started to get really fussy this afternoon. Behold, the saga of our evening:

Try to put laundry away - baby wails.

Pick her up.

Bounce her.

Sing to her.

Think: Holy crap, when was the last we changed her diaper?

Change her diaper.

Bounce her again.

Sing to her again.

Put her in bouncy chair.

Feed her.

Burp her.

Put her in the comfy sling she fell asleep in yesterday

Success! For not very long.

Show her pictures that transfixed her yesterday.

Put those down after she swats you in the face.

Put her in stroller.

Walk around the block.

Return home. She’s quieting down…

Take her upstairs to see what’s going on there.

Note she may be finally sleeping - try to put her down.

Regret trying to put her down. Pick her up again.

Walk back downstairs.

Turn on Hawaiian music.

Bingo.

And thanks for joining us on this adventure. This blog is the continuation of the now-obsolete Pregnant Over 40.

Ananu, the name of this domain, translates as “I Love You” in a unique dialect of Toddlerspeak. C and I were first introduced to the term a few years back, when two of our favorite toddlers were using it all over the place. We liked it so much that we started saying it to each other as part of our secret language.

Ananu!

Anyway, please ignore the typos…most of these entries are pecked out one-handed in the middle of the night while breastfeeding.

And welcome to the new home to stay abreast (haha so to speak) of the goings-on with the bean, C and me, JB.
