Daddy V. $$$$

Daddydom does put excess stress on the $$$ situation. There are many different factions that will drain your fun(d)s. I will be taking on wayyy more than i can chew and hope not to choke. My wife will be leaving her job on maternity leave early. This will allow her time to rest and get that baby girl growing. That is cool. She's working hard building a human. That's tough work. She needs the break. Man in me says..."you stay home make baby." Of course financially this could be trouble. Right now with work it's tough. I'm not making enough $$$ and our finances are drained. The whole family will move to State college PA for about two months where i will work like a dog. We are getting an apartment for 2 months. I have the lease and the deposit money (borrowed) in front of me and I'm scared. Scared because i am supposed to only be there for half the week and half the week be down home. This can not work. I will be causing major problems in my job. I have to do what's best for my family, but is causing me to be unemployed the best (?). I do not know if that will happen, but right now i do not know for sure what will go on. I feel as though i'm being torn between several different factions.....Daddy, husband, provider, boss, leader, dad to be, and somewhere if i look close enough might be me down there. I do not know if I want to find him.

Yeah so ...what?

So we are having a girl (?) maybe. According to the ultrasound. That's sweet, but i'll still wait and see. If it's a girl it will be penelope if it's a boy We'll probably go with surprise!. I'm sure that will give him a complex. i'm happy either way. i have no idea how to type holding both though.

Gotta learn!!

Today Milo was trying to touch the space heater. I kept telling him that it was hot. He snuck a feel and was very upset by the heater. He wasn't too happy, but he did learn. Life can suck. He did wave and say bye at the thrift store so it was all good.

CH-CH-CHanges

A baby will change your life. You will be envious of your friends time and the ability they have to blog and not get yelled at. or screamed at. It is difficult to hang out with old friends... you got a baby and sitters are not coming out of the woodwork. Plus you are so sleepy. In time i have found that i really do not care about hanging out anymore. I really love being a family and the things people seem to worry about aren't anything. Once you have a baby you realize how much time there is for everything else.. you just can't use it.

MAury, Billy mays, joe scarborough

These are my friends today. Maury will tell me who the daddy is. Joey let's me know what is happening with politics. Billy sells everything in the world.... i love that guy. His Kaboom is awesome. Removes mold, mildew, paint , tattoos etc. Milo and I will attempt to make it outside today. HE's actually napping right now...sweet. We need some formula and some more food for him. HE eats alot.

Home sweet home

No napping yet although he is really tired. If I could do anything right i think it would be sleep for a long time. Sleep is a big sucky thing with a baby. I know, I know...."Sleep when the baby sleeps. Yeah sure. I need many cups of coffee just to keep up with him. Falling asleep is the furthest thing from my head right now. I wish i wish he was asleep.

100th post!!!!!

It's amazing sometimes that i have gotten it this far.

Mernin'

My elbows are tired. Milo is getting into everything. HE loves to annoy the crap out of me especially when i am on the computer. He really doesn't care about anything else when he can be annoying while i am on the computer. Just when you think he's off destroying something else and you get a few seconds to do something. He'll come over and try to unplug everything and be a pain to you. This picture sums it up nicely.

This weekend!!!!

Ultrasound...which is not loud. I can't wait to find out if we are having a boy or girl. It's going to be awesome. He or she will have the middle name Fjord. That's settled and the front runner for a boy's name was Prior. I don't think that name will make it out of the primaries though. Penelope is still the solid #1 deadlock for a girl. This is so exciting. IT becomes so much more once you find out you are in girl land or boy land. You get working on a name and then start thinking of cool things you can talk to them about.

Maybe there will be some reworking of the names if this baby turns out to be a girl.
I know we were thinking abigail or penelope before Milo became Milo.

He was always Milo. No decisions needed there. Just MILO? Yeah alright ...cool.

Although some at his favorite eatery refer to him by his middle name of Atticus. Which is an awesome name. Maybe his brother should be Atticus Milo. Amy really hates that. I mention it a few times. If it's a boy.... we'll have some thinking to do.

Amy is pushing hard ( no pun) for a girl. I hope she's is right, but i'm not at all campaigning either way. Although i really do not like the ruffles on the girls clothes....What's with that??? Boy's clothes are silly too. They have tractors and bulldozers, but i have yet to see books on how to ensure your child will be a construction worker.

The $$$ issue

Yeah i have got to get MO Money! Here's something i have been doing... www.dirtyhooker.blogspot.com if you think you like what you see I am available for commissions. let me know! I can make anything.

Milo smells

I was just sitting down to write a nice long blog and milo comes over stinking up the place. go figure.....

Staying at home

Limits the things you can do. When forced to be at home it blows. Street blocked off.

Dentist with the Cranks!!!

So i had a dentist cleaning today. Milo had his cranks on. Probably from the weekend schedule upheaval. He was whiny and tired and screamed all morning I tried putting him in for a nap. No dice. He screamed and screamed. Finally he fell out 5 minutes before we needed to go. I went in to wkae him up and he was so out of it. I took picture but left the camera in his room. I knew it was going to be bad to wake up a baby and take him to the dentist, but i gots to do it. He was very unhappy there and he wanted to chill with me. He was all baby scared even though he had a book two little people to bang together and also a cup. Who wouldn't have a good time? He cryed and i took him and we layed down and watched sesme street while i got my teeth cleaned. He got a tooth brush too!!! He's always hustling. My dentist has a picture of himself with John Mccain. It sits on his reception desk...... I wonder if it will still be there if he's president. (mccain .. not the dentist.)

Sleep sleep sleep

I took a nap yesterday. It was like a vacation. I think a nap is in order for taday as well.

Weather weather weather.

It realy bothers me the weather is confusing. It looks nice and then rains or is very windy and cold. I should consider florida. It's nicer there.

Cuteness Factor

Milo has a cuteness factor. It rnges and usually it sides with his cuteness. Basically it's how I feel about the things that happen. With all of the disgusting smells and snot and getting up early can start to get on your nerves. He can always bring out the smile and make you melt. He is really a wonderful little guy. I hope version 2 is just as nice.

Baby and bills

It's tough $$$$ wise to have babies. They are like fords. You really can't say anything bad about them they just nickel and dime you. I feel like i go to the supermarket everyday. Formula diapers, etc. I was using only cloth diapers for a good while, but the constant wetting of clothes and the amount that Milo processes through that little body is amazing. He's like KYW he dumps 2,3,4 times a day. Usually he ranks out his pants 3 or 4 times by three. He shits more than i do. With amy pregnant, the smells drive her insane and doing laundry more than once a day isn't something I'm ready to commit to.

We got to hear our new baby's heart beat. That's amazing, but the daddy in me hears bump..bump..bump at 150 times per minute as $$..$$..$$..$$..$$. IT's tough. Very rough. Bills are around and money is off hiding somewhere. Milo has a good attitude towards bills. Here's a pic for you. or in philly yous.

Milo gets the mail

You know having a baby changes your life so much. You really have to learn to accept these things. It's tough. During the holidays I really wanted to go out and have fun like I was a young person without a child. Knowing that you can't do that and being responsible enough to accept that is something i am still getting used to. Amy and I had a friend who came over and we stayed up too late since Milo was staying over at his aunt's house. We should have been thinking and said to ourselves "since milo is away let's go to bed at 10 pm and sleep in .....maybe even to 7 am !!!!!" Instead we stayed up way to late being crazy and stupid. The next day we were groggy and when we were off to pick Milo up our friend said she was going to go home and sleep. I was pissed at her for thinking she would have a free run. I asked her to go and pick up Milo with Amy so i could clean the house a little. I really didn't want her to be able to sleep. I wanted her to be in our reality for one day and how difficult it is to live what is actually 2 lives ( parent/ Partying couple). I know she was hurting that next day and that made me happy. Spreading pain around might be one of the sick pleasures new parents get. I enjoy when Milo yells and wakes up my drug hazed neighbors. Got to get out of the hood.

Really excited about......

Staying home alone with Milo. It should be a huge shock to him and I. I hope I survive. Happy 2008
