Achievement

July 11, 2022July 11, 2022 ~ susie

My big victory for the week was suddenly remembering something that helped Granddaughter’s Mom.

It seems my granddaugter was crying a lot, and puking a lot. I dimly remembered something and reached back through the mists of time… yes! There it was, the old double-burp!

So I told her she was probably gulping a lot of extra air when she nursed, and that Mom needed to get not one, but two burps out of her before she put her down.

And then I crossed my fingers.

Yesterday Mom texted me that it helped a lot, and not only that, there was a lot less puke to clean up. Yay!

Granddaughter!

This is my new grandchild Margot. She’s a month old. Isn’t she adorable?

On the road again

Checked the oil and the coolant, put in some more wiper fluid and I’m headed to New York today to see my adorable grandson. So if any big stories break, they will have to wait until I get home.

Hopefully the car and I make it back in one piece!

Gone fishin’

Not fishing, exactly. But I’m spending the weekend at the beach with the Cutest Baby In The Entire World(TM), so enjoy your holiday! If you see me in the Asbury Park/Bradley Beach/Long Branch area, wave hello.

Prisoner of New York

April 6, 2015April 6, 2015 ~ susie ~ 2 Comments

So I went up to Brooklyn for a family event Saturday. My other son was supposed to drive, but his license expired. And then the GPS stopped working, then took me the wrong way, through the Lincoln Tunnel instead of the Holland, and I had to drive through Times Square and the rest of Manhattan to get to Brooklyn. Oh, plus my EZPass ran out of money and I was stranded in a toll lane with cars backing up behind me, honking their horns and screaming at me.

All this took me an extra hour. But then I got to hold my grandson, so that part was worth it.

I went to see the little peanut this weekend

And he’s adorable. Just perfect.

Funny, I kept enlarging his pictures on my iPad, so when I finally got to hold him, I said, “Oh, he’s so tiny!”

Here he is with Dad:

Oy, what a day.

I won’t go into details, but today was like one extended “Lucy” episode and I never did get to New York to see my grandchild. And since my car isn’t fixed yet, I probably won’t get there for a couple of weeks, at least. (Can’t get a rental car. Long story.)

Nothing worse than grandmotherly feelings with no place to put them.

My grandson

His name is Jameson Kennedy Feld, and he’s 7 lbs. 15 oz. He was born last night, and today is his father’s birthday.

Baby cakes

We had a Beatles theme for Saturday’s baby shower and I had a problem: Namely, the cake. How was I ever going to get a Yellow Submarine cake? The local custom bakery wanted $200!

So I got a regular cake and I hacked it. I added some additional icing (the dark blue), I stuck a Yellow Submarine Christmas ornament into a wave, and added some under-the-sea themed decorations I found in the supermarket. I think it came out pretty well, and a good time was had by all.

Baby shower

January 16, 2015 ~ susie ~ 1 Comment

Tomorrow is the big baby shower for my daughter-in-law. I pretty much ignored her registry (I’m the grandmother, I get to do that) and got the things I believe my grandchild should have: books, music, and pretty things to look at.

Plus, the shower has a Beatles theme. It’s very important to me that he understand his roots. (That’s why I got him a Beatles onesie.) Just 10 more weeks and I get to meet him!
