Suburban Warrior

I thought Elizabeth inherited my Irish temper??...Oye! Eileen is quite the lil pistol! As I told Irene, we are no longer planning a baptism, but rather an exorcism. Thank God she also got my looks as she is damn cute...so we will keep her, for now.

Eileen's favorite things include: screaming, eating, screaming, spitting up, screaming, catnapping, screaming, burping, screaming, farting, screaming...I think you get the picture. However, I can honestly say the second time around it doesn't bother me as much because I know it is all temporary, plus I refuse to give Irene or Harry John any satisfaction in knowing my struggle!! Did I tell you Harry John called during labor and wanted to know "how bad does it hurt?" and "are you screaming??" between his chuckles! After I returned home with baby, he continued his harassing calls to check on the severity of my pain due to sore nipples and breastfeeding. He stated that he took abundant pleasure in knowing my nipples were bloody and cracked. He is my cross.

Eileen is screaming again...God love her...

As previously stated, Harry John is a no-good son of a gun. Look what he did to the Easter Bunny...

GIRL!!!!

Yes, my friends, Eileen arrived on March 28th weighing in at 8 lbs. 4 oz. What length was she?? That's a detail I rarely care about when people tell me about their newborns...so I'll spare you unnecessary facts. Some of you have requested details of the birth...well, it's still too raw. Soon...soon...One word: OUCH. Plus, my time is limited these days...I'm sure you will all understand.

But I will fill you in during a later post. You'll be happy to know the usual cast of characters (hubby, Aunt Meggy, my mother, Irene AND Harry John) all had something to contribute during this hectic time...

Anyhoo...I'll be back!!
