Even the Miracle Bra can’t help me
A lot of blog posts come to me in the shower. This one was literally inspired by the view looking down in the shower today. It is a sad state of affairs between my neck and my belly button, people. Sad like two deflated balloons the day after a birthday party. Sad like an empty, [...]
My take on Mommy Wars
It’s sad that there is even a term popularly used for such bullshit. Working mom vs. stay at home mom, breastfeeding vs. formula feeding, home schooling vs. public schooling vs. private schooling vs. unschooling, cloth diapers vs. disposables, med free birth vs. epidural vs. c-section, I could go on and on.
As has been said by [...]
Breastfeeding- in like a lion, out like a lamb.
Truth be told, I hated breastfeeding with every fiber of my being for the first two months of Kendall’s life. I dreaded it, cried about it, and fought back the urge to chuck my delicate and helpless infant son across the room every time he clamped down on my sore, cracked, bleeding, chunks of flesh [...]
God bless you, Dr. Ferber
It worked! Well, I guess I should say it’s working. After speed reading some key chapters in Dr. Ferber’s book last week, we started implementing the modified version of crying it out this weekend. After just a couple days, I slept for 8.5 hours, pretty much uninterrupted, for the first time last night in I [...]
The boy was born to eat
As if you couldn’t tell from pictures, he relishes meal time, and while his love for the boob still remains, he’s slowly growing accustomed to the joys of solid foods that are not produced by my super calorie burning mammary glands (seriously, I will be in the market for a personal trainer and gym membership [...]
Mom abuse
My kid beats me up. He bangs on my chest with his fists when he eats, he pinches me, scratches me, pulls my hair, my earrings, my nipple in his mouth as he rubbernecks to find whatever noise is distracting him. His favorite way of telling me he’s hungry is to grab both [...]
Something Wicked This Way Comes
::cue slow, eerie music:: It was a dark stormy night… okay, more like a mildly breezy, little bit of rain, still pretty freaking hot (but hey, this is TEXAS) for October day. I was rocking the demon….er… I mean my sweet fussy pants baby to sleep. It seemed that the long lost colicky behavior we [...]
I’ve always loved him, but I’m really starting to like him.
Okay folks. I am so excited to announce that I think we’ve come to the other side! The side where having a baby is more fun than work (okay, that might not be entirely true, but at least the work is getting to be a little more fun) and there are more rewards [...]
I guess I’m going to have to find a new Blockbuster
I keep meaning to blog this…. A few weeks ago I made my first trip to the local Blockbuster to return some DVDs we got from our online account and to get some new in-store DVDs. According to our online agreement, we are entitled to 2 (or maybe 4?) in -store DVD rentals for free [...]
Adventures in breastfeeding
It seems simple enough. Woman has boobs. Woman has baby. Woman’s boobs fill with milk for baby. Baby sucks milk out of boobs. Thousands of other mammals all over the earth manage to do it and make it look effortless. You’ve never seen a mother dog complain, have you? [...]
