New Gear, and New Pictures

The Wife and I got a gift card to Target from my Aunt as a new baby/wedding present. So after I got home from work tonight we went to target to spend some money. It's weird, usually when we get a gift card we start thinking of stuff that we want. However, tonight we went straight for the section of the store that we could buy stuff for Pearl. Like I said a couple of posts ago, having a kid changes your whole life (obviously those with kids know that already).

Anyway, we bought one of these so that I can feed Pearl too:





We got home and Kim went to open it and she discovered that it seemed like it had already been opened. The seal was way to easy to remove, the little plastic thing that held the zipper was broken, there were items missing, and the most incriminating thing was the pump was assembled when it is supposed to be assembled by the customer. First of all the fact that this product was allowed to be returned in the first place is not excusable. Second, a returned product that is made to hold body fluids being put back on the shelf for re-sale is negligent at best. Target knowingly sold me a product that is potentially hazardous, and could cause my baby harm. So tomorrow morning it is back to Target to talk to the management to see how much they don't want me to talk with a lawyer about this situation.


We also got one of these, so we don't have to carry around the big, bulky, and heavy car seat that is part of the stroller we got:





No problems with this one at all. Pearl fits in it perfectly, and it's super easy to use. I can carry my little girl around strapped to my chest...

Here are a couple of photos I snapped a few minutes ago that I like to call the "booby pillow". Pearl got done feeding and went to sleep right there on Mommy's boobies...



Thursday

PPOTD: An "oldie" but a goodie!

Here's another photo of Pearl when she was a few minutes old.

Tuesday

PPOTD: Tired Munchkin!

Pearl had her first pediatrician visit today. She has a touch of newborn jaundice, but it will go away on it's own. She's been told to have naked baby time in the sunlight to help it flush out of her system.

We also took Pearl to Target for the first time, shopping is very tiring as you can tell by the photo. Actually she slept through the whole excursion, she's quite the sleepy girl today.

Pearl Will Be One Week Old

It's hard to think of my life without Pearl in it now. She has been here a mere week and I can't even fathom the thought of her not being here. People say that your life changes, what they don't say is that you turn into a completely different person. Don't get me wrong, my morals and beliefs are unchanged, however every thought process begins with the fact that I am a daddy now. It's amazing really, this fatherhood thing, to have this little person depend on you for everything. She makes my heart melt when she looks at me with her big beautiful eyes. Also, everything is cute now, I mean EVERYTHING!! She farts:it's cute, she hiccups:it's cute, she sighs:it's cute, everything this baby does is adorable. I think that it's because she is just so damn adorable that everything around her and everything she does becomes cute vicariously through her. I have been on many wonderful adventures in my life and experienced a great many things. I have lived in many places and done more in the last 15 years that most people do in their whole lives. I have got to say that being a Daddy is the most exciting and important adventure yet. Don't even get me started on being a husband to the most wonderful Mommy in the world, that's for another journal entry...

Monday

PPOTD: Oh My, Could She Be ANY More Cute???

Thought I would upload the pic here that Mommy posted on another blog because it's too cute to not post here.
