All I can say is that sometimes I feel all zen with the decision to wean my baby boy. And then sometimes I feel like I’m trying to squeeze into a dress that’s too small. It just doesn’t feel right. I question why. And then I remind my very sleep deprived psyche that it needs to [...] D-Boy is 17 months now. He’s a climber. A runner. A little dude with energy. I think it’s time. I think. But now that I’ve decided to wean my sweet little boy from breastfeeing, I find myself weeping over it. I was folding laundry this morning, and came across a few 6 month sized onsies and I [...] Oh my God. This is ridiculous. Once again, I walk out of a store and I realize there’s something I haven’t paid for. I remember the first time this happened. My baby and I were at the mall with a new Mom friend. We walked into the Gap. I found a pair of baby jeans I wanted [...] Me: Yes, I still breastfeed my baby. Her: Oh! Um. He’s like, walking. Me: Yep! Since 13 months. I’m so proud! (Knowing EXACTLY where she’s going). Her: And how old is he now? (Creepy face emerging) Me: Almost 16 months. He’s so precious! (Stomping her implications out.) Her: So, when are you going to stop? Don’t those teeth hurt? Me: Hmmm? [...] Suffice it to say that it’s been a busy few months at my crib. My little guy has tackled a few milestones lately and while I’m sticky with sweet adoration, I could also use a nap. A long one. I would call this time in my life, being a SAHM of 2 kids (3yrs and 1 [...] When I was pregnant with my first baby, I heard about babies and sign-language and I thought I’d look into it. It seemed like a great activity to incorporate into my new SAHM world. It occurred to me that I might need to think about what I would do with my new little person, besides [...] Now that I’m a Mom, I feel more fragile, more vulnerable. On one hand, from the moment I became pregnant I knew I was more powerful than I ever realized. I harnessed the strength to carry a baby and give birth. No small feat. Right? And then I did it again two years later, without an [...] So Girl-E is summing up to 40 pounds now. How ever did she get to that weight? I’m so happy she nursed for 17 months and ate like an ox until her 2nd birthday, cause the girl’s just decided that she doesn’t want much of anything to eat these days. “No fanks!” is all I get. [...] I almost didn’t post this because I look exactly how I feel. Jacked up. And I’m not talking Jack Daniels. I’m talking tired, sick, chap-lipped, and annoyed. Bad lighting, too. But, hey. This is what happens when I’m in the trenches of 2 weeks worth of illnesses. So, here it is. I’m crabby this week. My baby’s sick, in pain and it’s making me feel sad. I REALLY don’t want to hear a play-date-Mom-friend say, “What!? He’s sick again? What is going on over there? My kids never get sick. Ever. Just a stuffy nose. Maybe a little cough. I’m so lucky. Maybe it’s cause I’m nuts [...] |
