Day 18

Hi

this is from the morning. The baby didnt take formula or breast milk last night. Just some water. mainly because of the diarrhea problem. Have you ever heard of baby water? Currently we are using poland spring water. I am going to have to reasearch and see if another water is better.

Sora had some insight about a product we purchased. Machine Washable nursing pads. Dont buy them. The disposable paper-like ones are thinner and better. The Washable nursing pads seem better for the environment, but a little too thick and dont form to the shape very well. Imagine hockey pucks in your bra. And its apparent that theres some extra padding in there when other people check out that area. (not that people should be checking out that area of my wife!) That just not good. Its not a total waste, the also can be very fashionable coasters. We wont tell people what the original purpose was.

So go with the disposable ones. They conform better inside the bra, protecting for leakage, and diginity to the nursing mom. Paper technology is also advanced, very absorbant. The quicker picker upper for breast milk leakage. Sora seems to be very partial to the Medela Brand. Funny how that works, I think its just strength from their brand extension as one of the better breast pumps. We usually look for medela brand first.

Have you seen baby food coma. This is eleanor after she was done with feeding. haha. Eat, Sleep, Poop, Wakeup, Repeat.

She is also using the swaddle me baby wrap. I bought one on a whim at babiesrus. Its got soft velcro and a leg hatch so you can check the diaper.

I like the item very much. And eleanor seems to like it.

Buying on a whim, for first time Dad very difficult to resist. I try to give in 1 time a week. This week, no whim has caught my eye. Maybe the baby needs a new 60 in plasma tv! She can see shapes in 1080p, Hi def? Maybe its a reach.

You ever wonder why a baby smells so good? Is it the detergent? Powder? They just smell so good.

Whenever i hold eleanor in the morning or afternoon, i wonder. Can she smell me? Can she recognize me? When i put her in the shoulder burp position its so cute! She turns he head to the side. Like she knows who it is. Daddy. So i will relax and just enjoy daddy pounding on my back trying to make the air bubbles come out. (i dont pound, but most new people are too gentle)

I try to speak to the baby everyday too. We will be starting supply and demand lessons anytime now. After i tackle multivariate analysis. (I only got a B in that dumb class at CMU ) actually sadly enough i never got an A in 1 math class at CMU. My differential equations B was the best B i ever goy. I took it in the summer with Sam Cho, Yasu Oba, if it wasnt for them, i would have gotten a C or worse. Thanks guys! Engineering geeks helping a cool business student make his way. Hahahaha

eleanor is doing great and its time for me to go to work!
