Today and yesterday have been spent working on the “clothing” project. Mostly, I’ve gathered up all maternity wear (even the sweatshirts and things I “think” I can still wear…Clinton and Stacy would have a cow), my nursing bras and “inflationary period” bras, bigger PJ’s and skirts and things, and put them all in those [...]
So after this post, things steadily disintegrated. No amount of wu wei could save me from tears last night…mine or Camper’s. Poor kid. I don’t know if it’s sleep regression, teething, growing, separation anxiety, or all of the above…all I know is that the kid don’t sleep. And when he doesn’t sleep, I don’t sleep.
In [...]
WANT.IT.BAD. I heard about them at playgroup today and then LOOOOOK. OWWWLLLLS!!!!!!!! Sigh. I think my desire for baby carriers is out of control. Seriously. Trying to control myself. Reminds herself she’s poor. Reminds herself she’s poor. And her arms are free. But they don’t have OWLS ON THEM!
I’ve been a Mommy for about six months now. I am incredibly blessed to have a lot of help and support, but today in one of my rare days of “solitude” I’ve been thinking about the ways I make sure I can get things done. I figured I’d share and see if you have your [...]
Today we went up to the outlets. I heart outlets. As a matter of fact, I think that a major PRO for living anywhere is living with 30 minutes of the Banana Republic Outlet. Sigh. If ALL of my clothing could come from there, I wouldn’t cry at all. Not even a little bit. Sigh [...]
My baby has a pretty predictable pattern at the moment. He USUALLY wakes up sometime in between midnight and 4am and eats, and then once more around 5 or 6 and eats, and then finally gets up for the day by around 7am. For a baby who is in bed by 8pm most nights, I’m [...]
We’ve been in MA for over two weeks now. Looking at the dates, I could’ve sworn we’ve been here longer. I guess it feels so long because we are still job seeking and trying to get ourselves together on this side of the world. John has been filling out lots of applications and went yesterday [...]
He napped fabulously today! AND he didn’t scream after his bath (I drained it before I took him out…seemed to “transition” him better), AND he ate and went to sleep on his own in his crib by 8:30pm. Who took my baby and switched him with another one?
Ok. That’s not even funny.
Is he gonna wake [...]
So it’s time. Camper is 10 days away from his 3 month birthday, I can’t believe it! I’ve been feeling more and more like it might be time to not only grow more serious about our sleep rules that we’ve established (and been at least 80% good at keeping) but to begin a more formal [...]
I think it’s time for list making. I need a list for what we need in this house to get us through til moving day. (This month!!) I was going to try and just use up every last bit of meat in the freezer and not buy anything new, but it only took one Sunday [...]
