We Have Returned to Hades
[ty] - Thur 28 June 07
It's always nice to return home after a long trip but some of the glee is melted away when home is 108 degrees and rising. Seriously, it is 108 today and headed for record highs of 110 by Sunday. That's not ok. I got in my car to drive back from visiting JD for lunch yesterday and almost got in 2 accidents because my steering wheel was too hot to touch. It's difficult to drive without your steering wheel.
Anyway, we had a wonderful trip. Everyone was so hospitable and loving and lavished affection on Cayden nonstop.
As promised by JD I've retooled our photo page and put up pics from our trip. Let me know if anything is broken.
Once again, a huge shout-out and thank you to Uncle Rusty and Allie, Molly, Missy, The Henry/Haytmanek/Wardak clan, J. Glatz, LewFam, Hotel Benson, The Jamaica Plain Pookie Palace, and of course the Sunkids. We have the biggest and best family in the multiverse and we are ever grateful.
Lots more pics to come (xoxo Walshies!)
It's more than just a name...it's a lifestyle.

Mysteries of the human mind
[jordanna]
Why oh why do I have Paula Abdul stuck in my head? (nasty, nasty boys, don't mean a thing) Mind you, I can't remember what I did with my work keyes two months ago, but bad music from 16 years ago? That stuck.
CORRECTION: As Gail Anna Rahn Frederick kindly pointed out in the comments, Nasty Boys was apparently a Janet Jackson song. Here's to Gail, queen of bad pop.

Tidbits
[jordanna]
We are back! Tomorrow Tyson is going to upload the mega ton of pictures from the trip. I am trying to get him to completely reorganize all of our photos on the website, we will see if it works. Later this week we will put together a more comprehensive post on the trip, but in the meantime I have a tip for all you postpartum-ladies:
beware trampolines.
Also, Kevin and Erin exhibited their typical generosity and bought us a digital camera as a thank you present for our help with the wedding. We would have happily done it for free, but the camera is appreciated. As Erin said, it is really a present for all the long distance family and friends (including them) that want Cayden pics on a regular basis. So, the regular photo-journaling of Caydens growth will continue.

To the whirring of a breast pump
[jordanna]
Well, I am back in lab. Yesterday marked my first day away from Cayden, and my first day lactating into a machine at my office. And by 'office' I mean 'small public cubicle in between two other people'. While I am completely comfortable nursing in public, something about hooking myself up to this machine in the presence of two people trying to type and get work done makes me incredibly self conscious. Not enough to dissuade me from pumping, because if I don't we will need to supplement breast feeding with formula, but enough that I dread it. I imagine this will go away.
Leaving Cayden yesterday stunk. I kissed him goodbye and he started wailing ('You noticed me, but you're not going to pick me up!?!'), and I almost cried on the way to work. At least I am leaving him with Ty, which is so much easier than day care. Hopefully by the time August rolls around, I will be less traumatized. Then it will be Tyson's turn to go through withdrawal. Because he understands my pain. Tyson brought Cayden (and Jeff) for a mid-day picnic today. After my baby fix, I am working much more efficiently. (except for a brief break to write this)
