1. It's 11:19 pm and Charlie's been asleep for a good 2 hours. Are we sleeping while we have the chance? No. I'm catching up on blogging and for some reason Andy is glued to the tv...watching "Pretty Woman." What? Why? It's weird. I told him I would blog about it and look--I sure did!
2. You should listen to your mother-in-law. What? I know, but I have a good mother-in-law. Last time she was here she said something to the effect of, "Why don't you have a curtain on your bathroom window?" My reasons: 1. I'm lazy. 2. The window faces the neighbor's solid brick wall and there's no way anyone would ever see me in my bathroom. Well...that is unless my neighbor is doing yard work and walking in and out of his side gate 500 times during the day. I'm pretty sure he saw two of my bathroom visits in their entirety today. Hmmm...
3. My sister Melody works at a copycat store of Sam Moon called "Dustee's" (previously called "Santa Moon"--ridiculous, I know). It's got cheap jewelry, purses, general glittery things. Andy insists on calling it "Caboodle" every single time and every single time he does I laugh a lot. Andy has nicknames for everyone and everything. I have no idea where he got this from (actually, it's encoded on his Bowman genes--they all do it and now so do I).
4. I want to get Charlie a Bumbo chair. Andy absolutely refuses to let me get one on principle alone. He says we have to resist the trendy ridiculous baby gear that everyone thinks they can't live without. I'm probably going to order one tomorrow.
5. Mother's Day is coming up and as a brand new mother I feel like this should evoke serious pressure and anxiety for Andy. I mean, I deserve something pretty great for giving him a "mini me"! Here are a few suggestions (I know he'll read this and be very thankful that I posted it):
1. A few hours at the spa while Merry Maids deep cleans the house.
2. A treadmill for the sunroom. Although, this would look like he's saying that I'm fat and need
to lose some weight, which could result in Charlie being an only child and we really don't
want that.
3. A new laptop. WAY too much money but I want one that is more portable so I can at least
act like I'm trying to think about writing my dissertation.
4. A substantial gift card to Old Navy or TJ Max.
5. A firepit for the backyard, although we're always under a burn ban so I don't know how
much we'd get to use it.
6. Charlie will go a week without pooping and then he'll have a marathon of six bad diapers in two days. The other week two of his diapers exploded. Andy got the first one and yelled for Melody and me to help him. It really did take the three of us to handle it. I got the next one on my own and it got all over my shirt. I just took my shirt off and threw it in the trash. I couldn't even deal with it.
7. I feel like my posts have been boring so I'll try to be better from now on.
"I love my paci!"

Correction: I, Melody Ann Fores....your little sister, did not get the privilage of experiencing the exploding diaper. That was your twin...you know....her name is April? Youre turning into Karen...cant remember anything! Geez!
wow...i can't even spell my last name
I had to google Bumbo Chair. You have to let me know if it works.
Andy is funny. All blogs about Andy makes me smile.
Definitely get the bumbo chair. It is awesome. I really laughed about Andy's name for Dustees. What's his name for me?
Hey, Amy. I found your blog from Leslie Mayo's and enjoyed catching up on your life! I have a 4-month old baby boy, so I can relate. I ordered a bumbo seat last week. :) Also, I completely agree with your mother's day suggestions. Primarily #1. There's just no reason to settle for anything less. :) Tell April I said hi too. Does she have a blog?
