This post is not about my baby. This post is about a huge truck sitting in my driveway pumping what seems like years of sewage from our septic tank. Our sink clogged up the day I went into labor, and it wasn’t until the next week that we ended up calling the landlord and asking [...]
So I just learned that if your baby is sleeping, and sooooo cute in his crib, it is NOT a good idea to take a picture of him. With flash. Poor little guy, almost gave him a conniption. So yes, last night went better. Our first night home was full of no sleeping- most especially [...]
I have so much to say, but honestly, I need a nap. Bad. Well, food, then a nap. So I think I’m going to be taking a bit of a blogging break while my family and I figure out breastfeeding and life…still not stopped pumping yet, so that’s like feeding two babies every time Camper [...]
Here we are, NICU day five. The last few days have brought me highs and lows, and I hope to be able to share my thoughts about pumping, breastfeeding a baby in the NICU, leaving my baby at the hospital, all the little things he does and has done, and all my feelings about everything [...]
I wouldn’t be a true blogger, I don’t think, if I didn’t blog at least once from my hospital bed. Most of the details of the last few days will be found on Camper’s Website (for those with access, sorry public, we are protecting our little boy from big bad internet wolves) I wanted to [...]
Today has been a slow one. I woke up pretty much when John left (earlier than usual) and tried to go back to sleep, but ended up just putzing around the house wondering if the cramping I was feeling was going to escalate into anything exciting. I did some laundry and then realised that I [...]
Camper’s going to be an owl for Halloween!! So far this is all I’ve got…
This is what I’m going for…the hat anyway…except a newborn version.
I don’t like the body…and I’m going to make him a snowy owl (so he’ll be all white) but you can get the general idea. I’m thinking a long-sleeved onesie, some [...]
So I had this idea. And since I had some time on my hands today I decided to act on this idea of mine. It is no mystery to anyone who knows me that I am cooking resistant. I love food, I love eating, and I enjoy thinking about becoming a fabulous cook…but I hate [...]
Another interesting weekend, that’s for sure. I am, at least, single digits away from my due date, although I think everyone around here wishes that number counted hours and not days. I have, for the record, unequivocally learned what a contraction is. And let me tell you, I did not know it when I felt [...]
No work for me today. Yesterday the newbie and I got through everything that needed to be done, and seeing as how I was feeling rather extraordinarily pregnant I thought that today might be a good day for her to fly solo and get some rest for myself. (Payroll starts Monday.) Last night was another [...]
