Well, it is official, Alexandra is 6 weeks old today. In addition, I am officially back to work with 3 classes online that started this week. I am lucky that it is on-line work and that for the first week, there is not any grading to really accomplish so I can ease back into the routine of work and interacting with students in the on-line format.
It seems crazy that our little girl is 6 weeks old already, but she is growing like a weed, tall and straight...she is a pretty good sleeper...during the day, if she can be held or put in the Moby carrier, she will sleep and at night she is actually pretty good as well, we get 4 hrs stretches for the most part and so I am getting some sleep.
Matthew has warmed up a bit to her, he has asked to hold her a time or two, I think just to be included in the mommy time she seems to always get but it is a start. He is also pretty protective of her when we go to daycare to pick him up. He does not like other kids to touch or get near her and will swat them away. So I guess already, he is a protective big brother.
We got the holiday cards I made with the pictures from our Sear's portraits. So hopefully I can get them addressed out and in the next week or so, I also have been getting lots of Matthew's art projects from daycare and need to get them in a keep sake box of some sort and organize pictures, finish putting the picture book/album together for Matthew that captures the last 2 yrs and oh yeah, Christmas stuff....
Which brings me to my first issue, so I wanted to get an ipod to basically put all the kids music on that would stay in the car or go in one of their rooms and fit into an alarm/radio device similar to my ipod and ihome player. Well the new ipod nano which I thought would work has a different little contraction for connecting to the computer and it is not compatible with the ihome system, so I went on apple and bought a converter and I am hoping this will work to let the new nano work in the ihome device....otherwise I guess this will have to be Jay's new toy as it is too small a screen to let the kids watch anything, if it doesn't work on the ihome device can't be used to listen to with our speakers so basically will only work with headphones and well Matt doesn't do headphones yet. So I am disappointed...with myself for not doing more research on this and figuring this out before I spend the $200....so now do I go ahead and get an old ipod or the itouch or do I wait and see if this will work or not....ugh...why do they change these standard things such as the connector?
ok, gotta go, little one is hungry
