So, I’m the mom of a one year old now. It is a very strange thing – I hardly feel like I have been a mother for any time at all, and all of sudden she’s a year old? I mean, I don’t get it. Time has passed so quickly. People told me at the […]
(step) mom stuff
ARGH
I am so frustrated. This past month, we have had a ridiculous number of delays and cancellations. Mostly it’s the delays that are the problem. Our daycare goes along with what the city does, and you’d think that being part of a city and not the county, we’d have the advantage of a more compact […]
Personal – Still Dealing
So – to recap: baby vomit. Pediatrician. All seemed ok. Back to daycare the next day, but only for 2 hours before I got a call saying, “She’s still got some digestive issues”. Mom came to help. I get sick in the night. The Boy gets home from a business trip. H comes over so […]
A Hard Day’s Night
Sorry for the lack of post today on our regular schedule. Baby girl didn’t sleep well last night, and I was the one who stayed with her while she struggled. We’ve got our fingers crossed that it was just a combination of a cold and teething, but ouchie. I’ll post what would have gone up […]
Personal – Taking a Deep Breath
I feel like I have been running myself ragged the last few days. Obviously, I didn’t write a post for Friday. I had meant to do that on Thursday, but then our sweet Baby girl woke up screaming and twitching with what I think was a febrile seizure, and a fever that was confirmed later. […]
Recipe – Homemade Double Chocolate Lactation Cookies
A little while ago, my group was all playing Dungeons and Dragons in the Storm King’s Thunder campaign, and our Level 3 characters were off to do something that was obviously a big fight and going to be meaningful – at least at this stage. We trotted off to the location, made a plan, and […]
Personal – A Month of Daycare
As of now, my baby has been in daycare for a month. We got her into a place near our neighborhood, and it has turned out really well in general. The teachers are terrific, and it feels strange to find myself going, “Wow – daycare is so cheap!” but compared to the price of a […]
Service – Stitch Fix Kids
It’s a strange thing – despite not being super interested in shopping for myself, ever since baby B was born I have found myself being a teensy bit of a shopaholic. I don’t regret too much – baby girl clothes are SO CUTE. And she needs things like pajamas. Unfortunately, I’m not just buying pajamas, and so […]
Baby Things I’ve Liked So Far
As a new parent, the thing that constantly amazes me is that there’s no requirements for it. As in, any adult who times sex to ovulation and wants to keep the ensuing pregnancy is allowed to do it. So even if there are times where in your head you still feel like an awkward 15 […]
Personal – Back to Work
So, as of Monday, I’m officially a working mom. I’ve got my bags and bags of stuff that I carry with me to the office every day, the largest of which is my pumping bag so I can collect all the milk for Baby B during the day and she can eat it. I’ve got […]
