So a couple of weeks ago I left my new-mom cocoon and took Ian on his first big trip. We decided to accompany Paul (a.k.a. Daddy) on a business trip to Texas. However, I was terrified. What if I forgot something? What if Ian got sick? What if I refused to get on the plane […]
Does everyone sing to their kiddos this much? Pre-baby, I heard lots of friends sing to their babies, and my mom and mother-in-law both mentioned singing to their children. However, the past four months have taught me the amazing power of song. I mean, really, we should bottle this stuff and sell it. Oh wait,
I was determined that this blog would not be a mommy blog. I wanted to write about all sorts of things, including motherhood, to keep it relevant to all my readers. But as it turns out, if I don’t write about mostly mommy stuff, it won’t be relevant to ME. It seems that mommyhood is

Before I delivered my baby, I received lots of helpful and not-so-helpful advice about motherhood and parenting. Now, four months out, I’ve found a few things I wish I had learned waaaaay back at the beginning of this crazy ride. 1. Two-week-old babies are more portable than four-month-old babies.

Everybody’s asleep but me. Boy, this keyboard is clackety. In a few minutes I’ll be waking Ian for his last feeding of the night. I hate to wake him — he’s had trouble falling asleep today — but this last feeding helps him sleep through the night. He’s such an awesome little boy. Thinking about

So I’m sitting in the waiting room at Baptist Hospital, waiting to be induced. Apparently it’s a busy night, so I may be waiting for awhile. I’ve been very grumpy and tired this past week. It was hard to cope with all the phone calls and e-mails asking how I’m feeling and if I thought
Three weeks and two days until my due date, and the doc says I may not go all 40 weeks. Woohoo! I’ve spent the past couple of weeks eating, trying to sleep, and working on my business taxes. I’m hoping to finish all the business stuff before baby arrives so that I don’t have to

Yeah, so I totally abandoned the blog this month. Everything I do seems to take so much extra time these days. As my due date draws closer (less than 8 weeks!) I am starting to obsess more and more over getting everything ready. I need to get the house ready, the business ready, the dog
