July Weight Check

Aeva went to the doctor yesterday for a weight check. She was 10lbs 9.2 oz, which is up 4 ounces from her Thursday appointment. Despite her formula embargo and constant fight of eating, she's still gaining. Awesome! AND, I've been letting her sleep a FULL night, of 7-8 hours. How badass is that?!! During the day I feed her between every 1.5-3 hours, dependant on how much she ate at her previous feeding.

Whatever works, ya know. As long as the food gets into her and she grows, it's all worth it.

I started another class last week, the Graduate Seminar in American History. This is my last required course, and I have one elective left to complete the coursework for my MA in American History. My professor had premature twin girls the DAY BEFORE Aeva was born. Hi babies were only in the NICU for like 3 weeks (lucky lucky lucky). They are about two pounds more than Aeva right now, but they were also almost 2 pounds more at birth. It's super cool to see that we are not the only crazy parents about germs...he and his wife are crazy about them too. Seriously, what about babies makes people think that it's okay to touch them? Do people not realize that babies will put their hands in their mouths after your grimey hands touch them? EW. Stay away from my baby you Wal-Mart shopping, baby touching, wierdo. lol

School is hard. I had started two courses, but dropped one because there just aren't enough hours in the day, and it would be unfair to Aeva to devote my time to school rather than her. So one class it is. Besides, there's no rush anymore to finish this year. I can't apply for a PhD program to start the 2010 school year since we don't know where we will be stationed then. May as well take my time and keep my GPA up (its a 3.81) and devote more time to Aeva.

Right now my school problem is not know who, what, or when, in American HIstory to write about for my term paper. I have a week and a half to determine this, and I don't know. I don't know if I can do ten pages of biographical information. It gets boring ,you know. Grr.

And my friend Nikki just mentioned that this one lady had a blog about the "bad side of motherhood" meaning the stuff no one tells you, and when it went public, she made money from it so she didn't have to work anymore. Nikki had the idea of me becoming the voice of mothers of premature infants, making this blog public for everyone and anyone to read. I'm all for it. It's not as though I say anything on here that is rocket science or the solution to world peace.

I think it would be fun. Does anyone know how to make a blog public?
