So Jack and I were wandering in Hot Topic... looking at baby clothes:) and I just happened to see this cd called Rockabye Baby. I look at the back and what do I see...
Lullaby renditions of :
Heart Shaped Box
Under the Bridge
Schism
Nothing Else Matters
I Was Made for Loving You
No More Tears
Buffalo Soldier
I Wanna Live
I became a very excited Mommy.
I checked out the website and they have a whole cd of The Cure turned into Lullabys. That would be my next purchase. It is just so whacked I love it. Jack and I play it when we have Emma in the car. I have to admit that when I drop her off in the morning I don't automatically turn it off. It is just too cool

My Little R2 Unit
It's been about a month since I posted. It's been a long exhausting month of not sleeping very much. We've passed a hump. Emma is starting to sleep through the night. And we are consistently getting her to sleep in the 10pm hour.
We do have moments though...
Here's the latest. I have to say that I do love Hot Topic now catering to the old punks with kids.
This is Emma with her skull bunny D (... for dead bunny. So named b y her brother Logan)
Jack put a bow on her head so that she looks like a girl

I wish I could nap more
I know the old adage that when the baby sleeps so should the new mom. I can only nap so much. We spend the mornings up and playing and feeding(nearly every hour). The last couple of afternoons have been about sleep for Emma. She wakes to feed every couple of hours.
I used to be able to nap. I could close my eyes and actually sleep. Not so much anymore. Now I just close them and rest. It helps but it's not sleep.
And so I take these moments in the afternoon not sleeping to have something of a life, if a drowsy one.

Starting to feel human again
The aches and pains are mostly gone. Still pretty tired from lack of sleep but doing ok. I've turned into McMommy. This was expected but still feels pretty weird. Next step is to find daycare for when I go back to work. So far all I'm finding is crazy expensive. This will not be easy.
My luv's life at work just got a little crazy. His store mgr.'s wife is also in process of having baby. But there are complications and he went on leave a couple of days ago. So now he's running the store for probably the next month. Unfortunately, no raise & no bonus. At least it'll be his chance to prove he can do it and maybe he'll get his next promotion all the sooner. I hope it's worth the stress. At least I'm home for most of it and we don't have to worry who's going to pick up Emma when.

I read the article and just could not believe it. Spiderman: The Musical. Directed by Julie Taymor. Music and lyrics by Bono and Edge. Admittedly I'm losing respect for Broadways penchant for turning movies into musicals and such. I just don't get it. Come on ... how are we going to understand a word he says with his face covered by the mask? At least in the movie they can loop it.
Where has originality gone on Broadway? Are all the new ideas, thoughts and stories used up? I will admit that Taymor gave us a new theatrical experience with Lion King. The folk tale aspect to the story opens it up. Spiderman has many specific things to him that will make it difficult for suspension of disbelief.
I'm not a great Spiderman fan. That would be my man's job in the family. This just makes me sad for Broadway.
