What I have learned

I know she is only 2 days old, but there are some things that have become very clear about Miss Daphne.  So far this is what I have learned:

She loves to suck--nursing and pacifier.

She is a very relaxed baby, and doesn't seem to want to cry very much.  I can hardly believe how well behaved she is.  I truly hope this keeps up!

She is a noise maker.   She will smack, suck, squeak, and eat loudly.

She can POOP!  She pooped as soon as she was born, and had 2 big ones in the hospital.  One so big it was leaking everywhere.  Luckily the nursery nurse was in the room and offered to change her, and I LET HER! :)

She loves to eat.  They told me in the hospital that newborns have stomachs the size of a marble.  If that is true then Daphne has a birth defect and has one the size of a baseball.  I did both nursing and formula in the hospital and she would finish an entire bottle.  My milk came in the day I checked out of the hospital.  Later this afternoon she nursed AND took (almost) an entire formula bottle.  I just hope I can keep up!

She is cute, gorgeous, beautiful, handsome, attractive, pretty.....how many other ways can I say this?!  She has loooong eyelashes and wonderful skin.  Time will only tell who she starts to resemble more.

    Hey girl,
    I am soooo excited for you all! I just loved the pictures of the girls holding Daphne. I love this picture of you too, and how happy you are!

    wow! what an eater! I hope she's going to be one of those super adorable chunky babies. And pooping, I guess that's a truly excellent bodily function as well. How are her sisters adapting?

Running simplescalar on Ubuntu in alpha config

I have to post this for future reference as there were so many pain points just getting simplescalar running that I needed to mirror some links and consolidate some tutorials. Here's a good guide to installing simplescalar . I'll mirror some of the information from another guide that worked for me as well. The first link also contains the files you'd need to get it running. I'll also rehost them here. Here's a tutorial taken from here. Download the packages here. simplesim-3v0d.tgz simpleutils-990811.tar.gz simpletools-2v0.tgz gcc-2.7.2.3.ss.tar.gz Untar the source code into a simplesim directory mkdir simplesim (wherever you want to put this...you can name it whatever) tar xzvf (the z flag unzips a gzip file as well as untars it.... if you have straight tar files then use tar xvf ) In simpetools-2v0.tgz, there is a gcc-2.6.3 compiler. Since we don't need this, delete it. rm -rf gcc-2.6.3 Note: Before installing simple scalar package, ...

Phoebe loves shoes

OMG Shoes. Phoebe loves them. At any given moment Phoebe is either swapping shoes, trying on shoes, or digging through someone's closet for new shoes. Our recent trip to Bryan, TX to visit family, brought us to a children's play museum. There was a small selection of dress up items which of course included shoes. Phoebe immediately began prancing around in her new shoes. 59585|400 Heather wanted some pictures of Phoebe in her cousins boy clothes as well. Phoebe had run out of sleepers and needed something to wear. We got a good picture but also a picture reflecting her true feelings on wearing boys clothes. 59621|400 59615|400

I Don't Mind

I don't mind the rapid spreading contagion of nerdity (I made the word nerdity up, which I think makes me a nerd. A fact that was never in doubt). My only lament is her hesitance to adopt my music. Seriously, I listen to some awesome music. Every week I find new bands, new sounds, and every once in a while I find gold. The only problem is that I've trained myself to like the weirdest stuff I can find. For example: [audio:01-unexpect-chromatic_chimera.mp3] The band is called uneXpect. They're probably considered metal but they have a certain jazz/circus music/opera influence. They're similar to Sleepytime Guerilla Museum but much heavier. Anyway, I'm a huge fan and really have to suggest picking up their latest release In a Flesh Aquarium . I've also been doing some hunting lately and need to share the fruits of my searching. This first one is easy. It's the background music to the Gears of War commercial . Give it a look see. It's breaking d...
