Please forgive me...

Sorry, so sorry...Sorry, so sorry...Sorry, so sorry...Sorry, so sorry...No really...I'm so sorry.

Because of THIS zzzz stuff, I haven't updated my blog in two days, but how am I supposed to when I sleep all day and can't muscle the energy to wake my tiny bum-bel-ale-o up.  "If am gonna be honest with you" (S

imon Cowell, American Idol Executive Producer) I haven't seen more than 36 hours of sunlight in the past 9 days so everyone should pretty darn lucky that they have been able to read what they have been able to read.  However, my publicist insists I have modeling opportunities available so I have to be more diligent.  He says the Goodyear job is opening up and I have

 a shot at it.  I am a firm believer of bringing home the bacon and supporting the fam.  Tough economy out there folks, gotta seize the opportunity when it presents itself.  Movin' on.    

 

Went to the see the Doc again today, but whatever "I'm not too worried about it, really. I wouldn't worry about it.  Don't worry about it.  I'm not worried at all." (Evan, Superbad)  Doc gave me thumbs up and said I am ready for life and gaining weight like a champ, see you in a month and drink your milk...it does a body good.

My house gets invaded this week with a bunch of new faces - so much fun!

Snorting...

I must have lived on a farm in a pig pen in my previous life, just ask mom and dad.  When I get anxious, I just can't contain myself.  My body goes into convulsions and my piglet'ness comes out.  Snort, snort, sniff, sniff and then wa-bammm...my head rocks side to side uncontrollably like I'm rocking out to 'Livin on a Prayer' at a Bon Jovi concert.  Just imagine what my parents think of me, especially when I'm acting like this between 2:00 AM -4:30 AM.  I would change my possessed behavior if I could, but people...when I want something I need to get it and this is my way.  

But but but but but but but...here's the thing.  Even when I do get my way and get more food, I still can't control myself.  Put it this way.  When you're out at a bar having $1 brewski's at happy hour and the bartender tells you it's last call, don't we all drink what we already have uncontrollably and then go buy crazy amounts more just because we don't want to miss the special price?  OR...don't we always overeat at Cheesecake Factory everytime even though we tell ourselves not to just because it's so good and we need to have the desert even though there is no room?  OR...don't we always buy more than we need at a JCrew sale because we're afraid there will never be another sale as good?  OR...isn't it like being at Costco in the ketchup isle and even though you have enough ketchup at home, you buy the enormous two pack of ketchup that could last a normal family 2 years, just because it's Costco and the price is right.  Welcome to my world people.  The things you all want, you go crazy for for no reason.  This is how I feel every couple of hours.  I'll change someday, but just let me be who I want to be.  I'm only 7 days old - happy 1 week birthday to me.  

I'm a Big Girl Now...

I sleep and...I sleep a lot.  Maybe too much, but what else is there too do?  But today I tried something new because I don't really love sleeping anywhere besides in my parents arms.  Why would anyone want to sleep anywhere else?  It's warm, cozy and I get kisses all the time when I sleep in their arms.  But today, I slept in a big girl crib.  Neeeeee-ner-----neeeeee-ner-------neeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ner (for about 45 minutes and then I was bored).

I'm actually sleeping right now in my "leather reclining chair" and my publicist is writing this entry on my behalf.  I gave him permission to write as long as he accurately portrayed my day.

I had a few friends swing by in the snowstorm today - Knoxburger and Lex.  They pretty much looked like snowmen when they walked into my pad.  Thanks for swinging by auntie's and please say thanks to Penny and George (kitten 1 and kitten 2) for the gift that is under my Christmas tree.  Can't wait to open it in a few days.  

I get a bath tonight - booo yah.  

Agenda for the rest of the evening:  sleep, eat, change diaper, bath, sleep, eat, change diaper, sleep, listen to The Devil Wears Prada...new day.

I'm lovin' it. 

Party People...

Yup - I got lazy about blogging.  It's been tough learning how to type so quickly but look at me, I'm already typing up to 4 words a minute with my extremely long fingers.  That's good, right?

Tough day yesterday.  Let me summarize for you.  

12:00 AM - 2:00 AM:  ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

2:30 AM - 5:30 AM:  waaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

6:00 AM - 9:00 AM:  zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

9:00 AM - 10:30 AM:  zzzzzzzzzz, while getting dressed and ready to go to the dr's office for ANOTHER check up

10:30 AM - 12:00 PM:  zzzzzzzzzzzz, while Dr. Epstein checked me out.  We get to hang out again on Monday for another check up.  High fives for my weight - I'm at t

he same weight as when I left the hospital.  6 lbs 10 oz.  Holla

12:00 PM - 6:00 PM:  A car ride here and there, and then zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz pretty much the rest of the afternoon plus a few bites of baby McDonald's.  

6:00 PM - 7:00 PM:  Doing my nails and blow drying my hair getting ready for a paaaaaaartyyy.

7:00 PM - 8:30 PM:  Party time up on Buckingham Avenue.  Holla.  Just did my thing in the corner.  Fun party even though I couldn't find one person my age there to talk to.  BUT...I scored a few gifts from a few nice older folk so it's all good.  How come someone else has a green tree in their house?  I thought we were the only ones with one.

8:30 PM - 10:30 PM:  chilling with a few zzzzzzzzzz, and a few wahhhhhhhhhhh's

10:30 PM - 2:30 AM:  hanging with dad on the couch blowing more zzzzzzzzzzzz  

My New Home

You all should see the snowsuit my parents tried to put me in yesterday before leaving the hospital. What a joke that was - it might have fit some of my 9 lb friends, but it wasn't quite the size for a peanut like me...yet. Very cute, but it'll have to wait a while. After a few hugs and kisses from the nurses for "ms. chubby cheeks" it was time to make the trip out of the hospital. I think my cheeks are my best feature actually.

I have to admit, I was kinda excited to go home even if my nonchalant behavior said otherwise (i.e. sleeping).
But dad, he was just a wee bit nervous about taking me outside those hospital doors. Apparently there is something called cold weather and wind chill...I've never heard of that before...so he got a little freaked out about that. We survived though and I never flinched a bit once exposed to this cold air thing they were speaking about. So in the car we went (by the way, nice car dad, but it needs a cleaning) off to MacPherson Avenue

Mom and dad gave me a tour of the house and showed me around - that took all of about 15 seconds. Although a little smaller than some of the other baby's houses I met at Mt. Sinai, I think I can survive here for a while especially with that sick 42" TV that Dad said I can watch Baby Einstein on. My room is quite cozy and I love the crib, but don't expect me to sleep there anytime soon by myself...maybe in a few weeks. I want to be with Mom and Dad for a while.

Grandma came by in the evening after work to help out for a while - thanks Grandma. She is a big help in bringing by groceries and dinner for Mom and Dad. I met some more people today, Ginnie and Emily. I think that's like 100 people over the last couple of days that I've met, but it's cool, I'll take all the attention I can get.

Not to boast or anything, but I am pretty brave. I took a bath in a big girls bath tub. Please sign me up for that again.

I'm Headed Home Today!!

Today is the big day.  I am going home to MacPherson Avenue to check out my new home.  I like the Four Seasons and all of the Dr's and nurses, but I heard I'll like mom and dad's home more.  Dad, go warm up the car so I don't freeze my tiny butt off. 

High fives...I gained weight over the course of the night.  From 11:00 AM Monday Morning to 9:00 AM Tuesday morning I gained a whole 5 oz and now weight 7.3 oz...yeah baby (no pun intended...what is a pun by the way).  Big props to mom and dad for keeping to a tight schedule and feeding me like every 2 hours or so and pretty much never sleeping.  You did your part and I did my part.  Good work on upgrading to the private room - it really us all sleep.   

Thanks to everyone at Mt. Sinai hospital on the 7th and 10th floors that took care of my mom and me for the past 66 hours+ (that's how old I am exactly at this minute).  

We're outta here...

My Third Day - December 15

Wicked...made it through another day.  Rumor has it that mom and dad slept the best they have in days.  Apparently I had just a bit of a tantrum from 3:00 AM - 4:00 AM - so bad that the nurse had to comfort me for the entire hour!!  While I was feeding in the wee hours of the morning I caught dad snoozing away, not even paying ANY attention to me, on mom's bed.  

When we all woke up in the morning we were ready to sign our paperwork and get out of dodge, but I screwed things up.  I have lost more than the allocated amount of weight so guess what...we're staying at the Four Seasons another night free of charge.  

I saw some familiar people today.  I saw Dr. Paul Bernstein, the man who caught me in mid air, my night nurse Charita who takes such good care of me and then I finally got to meet Dr. Shapiro who's voice I have heard for 9 months saying that I was being a good girl inside of mom's belly but didn't end up delivering me.

Mom and dad had Burger King for lunch and when I smelled those fries you better your bottom dollar I woke right up and felt the urge to eat myself.  Fries, burgers and milk - now that's a meal.  

More visitors on the way over tonight.  No one told me my parents were so popular.  Hopefully I'll be keeping you all updated from my new diggs tomorrow.  Until then, good night and sweet dreams.
