OK
Days 1-3 with my mom and she is driving me fucking insane.
She's being an excellent Grandmother so issue is my problem not hers.
She wakes up talking and is still yapping when she goes to bed. I have never heard anyone with so much to say. About everything.
Give me the strength to not lose my cool. There have been a few tense moments already....!!!

HAIR!!
Yes, I'm slightly obsessed with her hair!!!
10 DAYS:
1 MONTH:
2 MONTHS:
It's growing back!!!!
When it first fell out I was a bit nervous it would take a long time to grow back because You could literally see all the empty little hair follicle bumps. She was BALD not just thinning!
BTW, this is what I looked like when I was born (sorry it is a picture of a picture, too lazy to pull out the scanner):
I was told I had no hair but apparently I had a lot!!

Stalker
Yep, that's what I've become!
This morning I realized that I hadn't registered Sadie with the sperm bank. I thought I'd check their website to see if they had online registration (they don't) and while I was there I noticed that our donor now has an audio recording.
The recording itself was a bit dull but the information provided was worth the $35 as we now know the identity of our donor.
We know his full name, his parents names, his siblings names, where he lives and went to school. We also have a current adult picture. He's really good looking - Sadie has his hairline! For the record, "white pages" has a scary amount of information. They list everyone in a household and he still lives at a home!
.I know this makes me a hypocrite since I didn't want to see half sibs yet when he dropped the identifying piece of info I knew I couldn't resist a date with Google. I honestly can't believe how easy it was.
Now the issue is figuring out what to do with this info. This is a huge invasion of his privacy. I've saved the picture and we'll show it to Sadie when she's older but I'm not sure we should tell her we know his name. She may want to contact him before she's 18. Does Sadie have the right to know his name more than he has the right to be anonymous?
I guess time will tell where this goes. We'll offer information as she asks but will limit it to what we feel is age appropriate.

2 Months!
Sadie is 2 months old. I can't believe it! She's growing and changing so quickly. She's started to smile huge gummy smiles and she coos and gurgles the sweetest sounds. She's so alert She loves playing on her play gym and expects the mobile to be turned on as soon as she's set in her swing.
She's outgrowing her 0-3 month clothing but mostly just the pants. Although we have had to retire my favourite footie PJ's but that's OK because they were 3 for $5. at Walmart!
Today was her 2 month check-up and shots. She's 12 pounds and 25 inches long. She cried briefly during the shots but nothing like I'd imagined. There was a baby in a nearby room that sounded like an alley cat. I was getting worried that Sadie would freak out too but she was so good. Since the appointment she's been a bit more cranky but otherwise is doing well.
In other news I found out that my mom is actually coming on the 4th. She'll be here for 10 days. The first bit of drama is unfolding but it's thanks to my Aunt. My mom is flying down on an Air Canada buddy pass (pays tax only) and is required to travel with my Aunt who is a former AC employee. My Aunt was coming down anyway so my mom is technically just hitching a ride with her. Unfortunately my Aunt feels entitled to payback for this trip in the form of my chauffeur service. She wants me to pick her up at the airport and drive her 1.5 hours to her destination. I told my
Mom that driving that distance is not easy with an infant who feeds every 3 hours. My Aunt wouldn't accept no as an answer. After suggesting a few options she wouldn't budge. It has come down to my paying for a cab ride for her to make this go away!!! That's my Aunt for you!

Sucker for punishment
My mom is coming to visit for a week and is actually staying with us. I'm set to pick her up at the airport on March 5th.
I'm so excited to see her! Clearly I'll never learn my lesson.
Stock up on your popcorn now - this may be entertaining.

Hiccups
Sadie is so dramatic. I love her cranky faces so I record them!
Disclaimer:
Despite the fact that I post a lot of pictures of Sadie in her swing she's RARELY anywhere but in my arms. Her swing is for photo shoots and times when I need to get things done. I'm not "that Momma" who ditches their kid in a swing 24/7!
Sadie complaining about her hiccups (crankiness at 22 & 42 seconds):
BTW, Do you see her hair? It's growing back!!
