Ennui

Recent baby related conversation:

Me: I'm going to start pumping my breast milk using the pump we bought, since it's electric and a lot easier to use than the hand pump.

Archi-Sapper: Is there some way you can pump your milk through the tubing and directly into the baby's mouth?

Me: Um, no, I don't think the baby can do keg stands on the breast pump, if that's what you're asking.

That's about all the excitement from around here. I'm in week two of my maternity leave and it's been pretty quiet so far. I spend all day at home because I'm not supposed to drive for at least two weeks post-surgery (they're afraid that if I have to brake suddenly it might bother my incision). I would normally dream up all sorts of "things" to do (home improvement projects, books to read, cds to burn, etc), but in between feeding, burping and changing baby, feeding myself and doing a little (a very little) cleaning, there isn't much time left for anything else. So, super-productive I'm not, but at least I'm healing from the surgery and bonding with baby, which are my two main goals.

My entertainment these days consists of reading the paper (when I can), surfing the web (ditto) and reading bits and pieces of my book. If it weren't for Archi-Sapper coming home from work and new episodes of How I Met Your Mother, life would be pretty boring these days.
