Day 52

Monday, Apr 30, 2007
What a day?  Anna and I had so much fun together.  She was so good for me, too, which was nice.  We went for a nice long walk, took a nice long nap, and even had lots of smile time. 
I even learned about valuable lesson about how difficult Miranda’s day is.  I [...]

Day 51

Sunday, Apr 29, 2007
I have been a nervous wreck all day because tomorrow, for the first time in my life, I will be alone with Anna for AN ENTIRE DAY!
Miranda has to go into work for the day and I get to babysit.  It’s sort of weird saying that I’ll be babysitting my own kid, [...]

Day 50

Saturday, Apr 28, 2007
Golf Day again.  I no longer feel guilty about ditching Miranda and Anna to play golf.

Day 49

Friday, Apr 27, 2007
Miranda is running experiments again.  Today’s involved not coming to my aid when Anna wouldn’t stop crying while I held her.  She told me that I need to be prepared for those times when I am home alone with Anna.
Anyway, these evening, Anna wouldn’t stop crying and Miranda wouldn’t help me.  I [...]

Day 48

Thursday, Apr 26, 2007
While Miranda was in the shower this evening, Anna did was does best when I am holding her.  She pooped.
I was in the middle of changing her when Miranda walked into the room and stared at me.
“What is it?” I asked.
“What are you doing?” she replied.
“I’m changing her?” 
(And yes, I asked [...]

Day 47

Wednesday, Apr 25, 2007
This morning, Miranda was in the shower and Anna was in a foul mood.  So, I came up with a stupid song to Beethoven’s 5th.  It went a little something like this:
Hello, Hello.
I love your nose.
Hello, Hello.
I love your toes.
She loved it and was all smiles until I left.
And even though I [...]

Day 46

Tuesday, Apr 24, 2007
Miranda went to her OB/GYN today for a six week checkup.  I was more anxious waiting for her call today than I was waiting to hear from her after Anna’s one month checkup.  All morning I just kept thinking to myself:
“Sexy Time, Sexy Time, Sexy Time, Sexy Time, Sexy Time, Sexy Time, [...]

Day 45

Monday, Apr 23, 2007
I tried wearing the Baby Bjorn today.  I hate it. 
It’s a pain in the ass to get Anna in and out of it. 
But more importantly, it makes me look fat.

Day 44

Sunday, Apr 22, 2007
Miranda, Anna, and I went to a Baptism today.  There were at least six other newborns there, all within five months of Anna in age.  I noticed immediately that my child was the cutest one there.  Other babies had big square heads, beady eyes, pasty skin, or some combination thereof. 
I pointed this [...]

Day 43

Saturday, Apr 21, 2007
There is getting pooped on and then there is getting popped on and not knowing about it.  The latter happened to me today.
I was not home when it happened, but apparently Anna had some sort of bowel movement explosion and it sprayed everywhere.  I’m not sure how this happens or if it’s [...]
