Where it went, I’m not sure. The past couple of days, I’ve been like- hey! I should write something on my blog! But then I don’t, because it seems that I don’t actually think about anything anymore!
I suppose this is going to be a Seinfeld-esque post about nothing.
Loenne is 2 weeks old now- she has her angel baby days, and her fussy baby days. My daily operations are consumed with trying to figure out what makes her tick! What I’ve learned so far. . .
1) Breast Feeding is a tricky mistress. I look into the fridge with fear in my heart. I don’t know what to eat, because I don’t want to be the reason for her discomfort. Here I thought that I could get back to my daily coffee (oh delicious coffee, how I miss you). I’m avoiding dairy, most raw vegetables, onions, spicy anything, chocolate . . . I predict a very beige diet for next year.
2) Learning how to fart and burp is a big deal. Before the head lifting/rolling over/crawling/walking, I think burping and farting should be the first milestone. You can see her trying to do it, holding her breath a little, scrunching up her face- then she manages to squeeze one out and choirsongs burst from the heavens. I wonder how long it takes before she knows how when she needs too. Soon, I hope! It’s the cause of most, if not all of her angst.
3) Loenne is in love with these blocks- particularily the baby face. We put it beside her so she can see the face and she gets a rapt, content expression on her face. It’s amazing! And so cute. His name is George and he’s her boyfriend. They like to hang out, stare at each other, think thoughts together. She occasionally smiles in her sleep and I am pretty sure she is dreaming about him. If you are having a baby or know someone who is- get these blocks! You can find them at Baby’s R Us!
4) Apparently- not many people know how to pronounce Loenne. I thought we were giving her an easy, unique but not weird, not too cutesy-grow into womanhood kind of name. Still do! But to clarify, It’s Low-en. Emphasis on the low, not the en. And her middle name, Prairie, is that big vast space in the middle of Canada? Just kidding. You knew that. We wanted to give her a little rock and roll-hippy-nature loving-ode to Mom’s roots-flavour. She may hate us for it or love us for it someday. Only time will tell!
Anyway. Fashion? What is that again?

Hi! I forgot that I should be checking you out for updates here!
So glad your writing. So other people were confused about Loenne’s name- not just me? When I first read it, I totally thought -”That’s a cool hillbilly name!”. Ha ha! But seriously, it’s very nice. Nd Prairie is such a great middle name.
Have you read Dolly Parton’s Biography “My life and other unfinished business”? It’s awesome.
Hope all is well,

Nope, you’re not the only one! I haven’t read that Dolly Parton book but I am going to look for it. I love her.
