Brain Dump, New Baby Edition

So, as much as I love Naomi, she really is a time-suck.  I spend most days trying to get myself and Naomi ready to go out (for small, two to three hour outings), and most nights with her napping on my chest (which is easily the BEST thing in the world).

Here are some randoms:

• My Google Reader has over 800 unread items.  I can't even be bothered with it right now.  Don't worry, friends.  I am still trying my damnest to keep up with your blogs...it's the non-important ones that have built up (local news, shopping, work-related).  I can't bring myself to hit the "mark all as read" button.
• Sleep deprivation has reached a new low.  I have done some stupid stuff lately.  It's ridiculous.
• I am constantly amused by my husband and how he acts with the baby.  He is obsessive about her head/neck.  As in, he will throw a shit fit if he thinks her head isn't supported enough.   Parenting is going to be an interesting ride!
• Breastfeeding is the hardest thing I have ever done.  Hands down.  And no one tells you this beforehand.  Ladies, it's hard, and it hurts.  I said it.  I don't think that will help me to be less anxious about it.
• Getting anxious and having many mixed feelings about returning to work.  I am looking forward to the normalcy and the routine, not to mention getting out of the house.  I am jealous that The Hubs will get to spend all day cuddling with Naomi, watching her amusing little facial expressions and witnessing her "firsts", all before I get to.
• Naomi will be four weeks old on Tuesday, and her room is ALMOST finished!  Talk about being prepared.  I just got the glider today, and I anticipate putting it together very soon.  Promise.  Then I will try to take and post some pictures.  Promises again.
• I finally got on the ball and started seeing people about this ridiculous gall bladder situation.   It got pretty bad for a while after she was born, and I haven't been eating too much (variety-wise...quantity-wise, I am eating plenty of cereal and white bread, so don't worry about that).  Since I am breast feeding, I realize I need more nutrients in my diet.  They are taking out my gall bladder on Wednesday.  I am excited to be able to eat again, bummed to have to spend the day in the hospital for outpatient surgery.
• My surgeon, who will be taking out my gall badder is 12.  Seriously.  She's got to be 12 years old.  It freaks me out.  And I have heard good things about her, saw a medical degree hanging on her office wall, and I am sure she is competent.  But seriously, looks 12 years old.  FREAKS ME OUT.
• I am very excited for this upcoming weekend.  I literally have 100 things going on.  Test of parenting skills - let's see how many of these scheduled events I can handle. 
• I haven't yet ordered invites for Naomi's baptism.  It's in 6 weeks.  Whoops.  I am getting on that people.  PS.  In case I don't, you're invited :)  email me for details.
• We had our first cloth-diaper trial run the other day.  It went well, but I think I need to experiment with stuffing them.  Her legs were sticking out as if she were doing a split.  It was kind of cute, but I don't imagine it was too comfortable.  Maybe a smaller insert?  We'll figure it out.
• I feel like SUCH a slacker this football season!  I watched my first college game yesterday, and managed to follow a couple games today.  I am so out of it.  I haven't even watched SportsCenter lately, mostly because I feel bad about not being able to keep up!

Well, I am sure there is more I can bore you with, but there is a baby crying, and the sooner I get her back asleep, the sooner I can attempt sleep.  So I am going to go take care of that.  Hope everyone is well!
