July 9, 2009 Random Thoughts Heading Into The WeekendPosted: 05:48 AM ET
From Baby Gwen, Morning Express Infant Correspondent (as told to Writer Keith) Hey all … hope all is going well as you are getting ready for a few off days. I have to tell you being a newborn is tough. The eating, the constant visits, the burping. So far all I can eat is formula which as of now only comes in one flavor. Would it kill these people to make something in strawberry or butter pecan? This milk taste is getting old.
I am telling you ... eating, burping, sleeping and writing for the Morning Express blog can take a lot out of a little girl.
I am somewhat of a night owl. On any given night, I’ll be up from midnight to 5am. My parents don’t seem to mind. Unfortunately, the only things on tv are infomercials and re-runs of “B.J. & The Bear.” Speaking of TV, my dad likes to watch of this new show called “Beverly Hills, 90210” with me. It’s on 4 times a day. I have no idea how they can crank out new shows every day. What a dedicated cast. However, I do not like the one the call “Donna.” She couldn’t act her way out of a paper bag. When we were at the hospital, I got to see my first Red Sox-Yankees game with dad. Every time the one called “A-Rod” came up to bat, we both tensed up. I think daddy got tense because he really doesn’t like him. For me, I think it was gas. People keep asking me what my opinion is of the president’s plans for revamping the health care system. I give everyone the same answer: “What the heck do you want from me? I’m only 4 weeks old.” I’ve met a lot of people since I’ve been born. These people who have trouble pronouncing the letter “R” flew down to see me for a few days. They are my “Boston grandparents.” My uncle Danny did a great job of feeding me. Plus my godparents are expecting to have my cousin sometime in January. My godmother told us when we were in the hospital that she was pregnant. Daddy said he knew already because how scared my godfather looked when he held me for the first time. Daddy says he really misses his car. Before I came home, the doctor told him and mommy that they were forbidden from the three-letter word that brought us to the hospital. I have these diapers that start out yellow, but turn blue when I need a changing. It’s like wearing a Ziplock bag. I am only a month old, but I already have a security guard. My dog Barrett stood right in front of me right after he smelled me. He also growled at anyone that tried to get near me. That was nice. I had my first photo shoot a couple of weeks ago. They were primping and prodding me. Hey: I’ll smile when I want to, bub. And what is with the props like angel wings? What am I? Carrot Top? When we go for rides, mommy and daddy play classical music because they think it will make me smarter. For God’s sake, I am already writing a blog for a major news organization. At this rate, I’ll be doing math by next month. Can’t a girl get some Skynard or some Grand Funk when we are going around town? Well that’s it for now. Hope you have a nice weekend.
