What am I supposed to do about bathing suits going forward? I’m still trying to decide how I really feel about my new body. I have days, when I stand in front of the mirror and I think, “Ya know, Mommy? You look so pretty. Soft and supple like a woman should. There are other [...]

Oh, woe is me. Effing Eff. I just spent the last 40 minutes pumping. It’s the end of the day, my husband’s on his way home from work with the Indian take-out and I want a glass of wine. I know shouldn’t have waited until the end of the day to pump- I didn’t have [...] Hey people…. ch-check it out. I just did the coolest thing. I’m so excited…. I just put $150 a month back in the bank by refinancing our mortgage! Yeeeah-hoooo! Look, I’m not the bank-rates-watching type. You’ll NEVER catch me talking about it. Although, I really do think I’m pretty good at managing the household finances. I’m [...]
We brought our baby boy home on Nov 6th, two days after he was born on Nov 4th – election day. He was so frail, so peaceful, so totally newborny and helpless. I remember pulling him out of the car seat, all 8 lbs of him, and introducing him to the house. His eyes wide, [...] Before you dive into this entry, I’m throwing caution into wind. This is not for the squeamish. I had every intention of sitting down to write about something pretty simple. But, in usual form, my thoughts turned at the fork in the road, and before I knew it, I ended up in the delivery room [...] Alright, I’m just warning you. Today’s a bit of a rant. Why? Cause I read an article that whistled my steam pipes but good. It’s titled, “The case against breastfeeding”. For curious minds, check it out: http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/case-against-breastfeeding/2 Ok, so my knee-jerk reaction is this: Are you SEEErious?! Why build a case AGAINST breastfeeding, for ALL OF THE [...] I’m shedding. Like seriously, shedding hair. 5 months after my little guy was born, and my hair’s falling out. I guess it’s pretty normal, but damn!! Since we don’t lose hair when we’re preggy, I forget what it was like to see my hair everywhere. Jees, it’s gross. I wonder if I were more diligent [...] I spent the day out yesterday with my kiddies and another Mommy and baby. We’re on the mend after being sick for weeks – thank goodness. The weather was beautiful – blue skies, in the 50’s. Yes!! We were ripe for a playdate. We went to the local library and then to the mall for [...] Do you ever hear your baby cry, even when he’s not crying? Every time I settle down with my little girl in her room for bedtime, I swear I hear my little boy crying. So I pause in the middle of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and stretch my neck in the direction of where baby [...] After E’s nap today, I brought her downstairs. I whispered, “Shhh… baby boy’s sleeping.” She nodded and we tip-toed over to the big red couch for quiet book time. I read my Twilight book for like 15 minutes or so. She read her Dr. Seuss ABC mini book, one of my faves, for sure. We [...] |
