So John and Jonathan went to Las Vegas. And came back. In one day. I think it was really fun for them. AND John figured out how to get me a poker chip (something I’ve wanted since seeing Casino Royale) courtesy of Jonathan who brought cash (apparently if you pay for anything with a card [...]
The Thanksgiving Holiday was a good one. My Mom-in-law thought that I might have been wigged out by the reservation, and I was thinking I might be, to be honest. We didn’t experience any pan handling or get chased by any stray rez dogs (even though there was a beautiful blue boxer mix that I [...]
We’re home! We spent Thanksgiving in Many Farms, AZ with John’s parents. They are serving a mission on the Navejo reservation and we brought our Camper down to get tons of cuddles from Grandma and Grandpa and eat lots o’ food. Well, bottles, anyway. It was a really good visit, and I’ll update more on [...]
I think we’re learning how to “embrace” Camper’s sleeping schedule. A friend of mine told me that she gives her baby boy warm bottles at night, as opposed to room temperature, and that it helps him sleep longer. I was reluctant to try warming bottles because I was afraid that Camper wouldn’t take the lukewarm [...]
As I was in the shower this morning I began to sing that song from the Jungle Book in my head as I contemplated whether or not it would be better to shave one leg (hoping, of course to get to the other one next time) or leave both alone altogether if Camper started screaming. [...]
So I’m starting to feel a little better, but not quite whole yet. However, whenever I start to “feel a little better” I always do the same thing: too much. In my head I have lists of things I want to do, Camper’s baby book, a journal with his birth/hospital experience, go through my clothes [...]
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 [...]
The title of this post is a text message from my Dad on Sunday. I found it amusing. I didn’t go to work yesterday- I couldn’t even fathom it. Not even a little. I went today, but a couple of hours into it when the hot flashes and the pain and the nausea became overwhelming, [...]
Ok, first and foremost, I have some siblings-in-law who are another year older!
Happy Birthday to Jack and Becca who both seemed amazingly busy with cool stuff on their respective birthdays. I tried to get Camper born the last couple of days, but it turns out he’s just a tease. So we’ll have to just have [...]
