Sam’s officially potty trained – at least at home, and I’d say about 50% of the time when we go out, he stays dry. He’s still in a pull up at night, and has some serious reservations about using anyone else’s potty, or going potty when there are other people here who might comment on …

I’m not a good wife
I try to be. And if good intentions counted, I’d be all set. Good intentions – and I do really, really love him. But it struck me a few minutes ago, as I sat and tried to decompress after two solid hours of the kids fighting and yelling and complaining and cleaning and all sorts …

I’ve got it – I figured out her name
Julianna Ruth. Middle names are really important to me – it’s not just a throwaway thing. I like for them to have meaning and depth. Jessica is named Jessica Mary after my mother, and Sam is Samuel Earl after my grandfather. But Julianna’s first name is already after someone (Marc’s cousin and grandmother) and I …

I’m just worn out
All the time. It’s been a rough couple of days, big emotional battles all over the place, the kids have been at each other’s throats most of the time, I feel like I’m pushing a giant rock uphill and no sooner do I reach the top, then it all rolls down hill – at least …

Marriage
I have a really good marriage. I just do. I think part of it is luck and most of is hard work, but in general, you’d have say, judging it as objectively as I can, my marriage is better than most. Marc and I had a huge fight this weekend, and we’re all better now …

Snow Days
We had another snow day yesterday – and it was lovely. I had the opportunity to really pay attention to Jess and how much she does, as a big sister, to make life easier and more fun. Sam’s at a particularly tough age – three and a half is old enough to really, really bug …

Owwwwww
Time for my morning bitch about being pregnant. First the disclaimer – I really, really already love the baby. And I’m always aware of how incredibly lucky I am to be able to get pregnant in the first place, and to be able to sustain the pregnancy. There are still parts that I LOVE. She’s …

Birth Plan
Although why I bother, I’m not sure, neither of my prior birth experiences paid any attention to what I wanted… Going into labor with Jess seemed better though. I went into labor at home, stayed home for a couple of hours, waited until the contractions were five minutes apart for at least an hour and …

I need help
My baby is due in less than ten weeks – and I’m still without a middle name. First name is Julianna, after Marc’s cousin and grandmother and I need a name that goes with it. I’ve already nixed Rose because it’s Lilli’s middle name, and Grace, because it’s too popular. Marc doesn’t like Sophie. As …

Have settled into that delightfully, hugely pregnant mode
I’m just a walking incubator these days. Am gaining all kinds of weight (up until the 28 week appt, I had only gained seven pounds, and three of them were between weeks 24 and 28), but I’m starving now, a lot of the time, and the baby is moving constantly. My hips are sore, I’m …
