Rainy day wishes
7 am, he wakes, I hear him on the monitor. Actually, he’s probably been awake for at least 15 minutes now because by the time I wake from my dreams of trips to Italy in skinny jeans he’s audibly annoyed that I’ve yet to come pick him up. I stumble out my bedroom door, through [...]
Confessions of a Ferber Flunkie
So I made a promise to myself back at the beginning of the month to blog more and then broke it about a day later. It’s pretty much impossible to blog more when your brain isn’t functioning, and your child is screaming at you 90% of the time he’s awake. I think all of that [...]
The Parent’s Complicated Relationship With Coffee
Coffee used to be a fun thing to go “do” on a break at work. Going to have coffee implied relaxation, conversation, good times. It was a reward for a good job done, or an incentive to get off my ass and finish a project as soon as I got back to the office. Coffee [...]
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 [...]
What is my sleep philosophy?
I was asked this in a previous post, so allow me to answer. I believe in the power of sleep. I cherish it and think it is a vital part of a healthy life. I also believe that preventing someone from sleeping is a form of torture and that willingly preventing yourself from sleeping is [...]
I’m actually a little afraid to mention anything
for fear I may jinx it, but I feel like I need to record this historic event in the life of me and my little boy so that I may refer to it in the future to reassure myself that my child, indeed, does have the capacity to sleep for more than 5 hours straight. [...]
Seriously?!
I love my husband. He is a wonderful man who takes very good care of me and Kendall. He works his ass off and is incredibly helpful with everything. I am very lucky to have him. Having said all that, oh my God! I want to KILL him! Getting Kendall to take a nap these [...]
All in the name of sleep…
The things you will do as a parent for just a few brief moments of peace (even though ”peace” may come with the hum of an appliance in the background) and some SLEEP are so ridiculous and comical all at the same time, as proven by my last post. During our recent trip to visit Scott’s family I [...]
Sleep Through the Static
An appropriate title for the newest addition to my CD collection (Jack Johnson’s latest). I picked it up a couple months ago when my sister and I made the road trip to house hunt. But, instead of spending the drive jamming out to our new tunes, we spent most of the trip listening to static [...]
The pregnancy chastity belt – A.K.A. The Snoogle
It all started a few weeks ago when I couldn’t get any amount of decent sleep because of the constant lower back and sciatic nerve pain. I had been sleeping on my side with a king size pillow between my legs for a couple months, and I always thought that would be enough support. [...]
