http://gleeson.org/blog/andi This is a place to journal my pregnancy, motherhood, and any other Matt and Andi news. Sat, 15 Nov 2008 05:13:37 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en We had a pretty fun Halloween, and I have the photos to prove it. Falco was a turkey, or a chicken according to most people. He was a real sport about keeping his costume on, just like last year. He had four opportunities to wear it, at ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/11/10/the-year-of-the-turkey/ Seriously, is this my child? I have no memory of having a tiny, angelic, sleeping baby. It must have happened, but now I only know him as a wild toddler who uses the potty and hits me when he’s mad and asks to draw with markers and talks ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/11/10/who-the-hell-is-this/ OK, so maybe I overreacted a tad with my last post assuming that Adelaide’s days were numbered. I freaked out when her condition started deteriorating again, but after increasing her steroids again, she is doing well. She is back to having a ridiculous appetite, but we’ll taper her ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/10/18/dramatic/ Matt came home yesterday evening after his surgery, and he is doing well. I will get to whole the story of his accident soon, though it’s pretty old news by now. The good news is his injuries were fixable, and he is on the mend. He isn’t ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/10/15/good-news-first/ No time to write because it’s 10:30 and I’m sleepy, but I just wanted to say that pooping on the potty (by Falco) has happened, twice in the past four days! Oh, and tomorrow morning Matt is having surgery to repair his broken cheekbone from when he was hit ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/10/13/poops-and-fractures/ I guess we’re potty training at the Gleeson house, although Falco is really doing the work and not requiring much “training.” He was keeping a dry diaper and using the potty when prompted more and more often, and I started putting him in underwear around the house sometimes a ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/09/29/growing-up/ I’m looking at Shoebuy right now to find new shoes for Falco since he has gone up a size again. (Yes, I prefer Zappos, but Shoebuy is having a 20% off sale.) I just found one pair called Snotrocket and another called Barforama Oy vey. These ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/09/21/please-dont-let-this-happen-to-my-son/ After nearly two years of being with Falco for 99.8% of his waking hours, I was starting to think that another year before starting preschool sounded like a l-o-n-g time. He is so social and busy and energetic and thrives on routine, so it seems like he is ready ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/09/12/catching-up-part-2-scholarly-pursuits/ I have been so busy living my life the past couple weeks that I haven’t had time to write about it, but I’m going to catch you up. Adelaide has already been home for three weeks now, and she is doing pretty well. She has some side effects ... http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/09/04/catching-up-part-1-adelaide-and-our-trip-to-seattle/ Falco loves it! http://gleeson.org/blog/andi/2008/09/03/at-the-beach-in-pacifica/
