Something magical happened tonight
The stars aligned and the new mom gods smiled upon me. I managed to get Kendall in bed and asleep by 7 pm, got dressed up in – get this- my SKINNY pre-pregnancy jeans (granted, I did have a bit of a muffin top, but nothing a peasant style blouse couldn’t hide) and heels. Yes, [...]
A not so fun game we play every day
Mommy needs to pee/clean/brush her teeth/have a moment to chillax… here, hop around/spin around in your Jumperoo/Exersaucer for a few minutes. Wheee! It will be fun! Here we are now, hovering over your fun-time device. Let’s see… if I move just a little more to the right…yup… you should be lined up right over those [...]
Reporting from the trenches
It’s been a week, and the war trudges on. It’s hard to tell who’s winning. If we go by who’s getting better sleep, then Kendall is kicking my ass in that department. I am exhausted. Walking 30 yards to his room three times a night seems about as dreadful as crossing the Sahara. Luckily, no [...]
I may lose the war, but I won the first battle!
Holy freaking OMG this is so fanfuckingtastic! I just did Kendall’s new little night time, please get sleepy and stay sleepy time routine -bath, lotion, diaper, jammies, sleep sack, Rockabye Baby Lullaby CD, lights down, nurse, rock…. good God that is a shit load of work to get one small person to go to sleep. [...]
But he will never be cold!
What is it with a mother’s constant concern that her child will catch the slightest chill? I used to think it was so ridiculous to see infants bundled from head to toe in 70 degree weather, and I’ve read in the baby books that you are only to dress them as warm as you yourself [...]
I am so sick and twisted.
I can’t stop having vivid(I mean damn near Ally McBeal-type) visions of one of us accidentally dropping my baby over the 4th floor railing right outside of our Embassy Suites hotel room we are staying in. It is terrible. So much so that it kept me up the first night thinking (freaking out, really) about it [...]
Cloth diapering – the specifics
Okay. This is the post where I will talk more about the specifics of what we are doing – the types of diapers we use, hook you up with some more great links, talk about our process, and even give you my husband’s opinion of cloth diapers. This too will probably be quite lengthy, so bare [...]
Yes, I use cloth diapers. No, I don’t wear Birkenstocks…
Or eat a whole lot of tofu or anything else really stereotypically “hippy-ish” (not that there is anything wrong with being a hippy! I love me some hippies). I also don’t soak those poop infested diapers in a wet pail, or have to fold squares of fabric and fasten them ever so carefully with safety pins [...]
