I do this every Friday – plan a thousand things and then don’t have the desire to do any of it. Kept Jess home today to bring her to the dentist, which is so NOT fun for me. I’m terrified of the dentist, really, and keeping that fear from her, and watching her lay there …

Yesterday was observation day at dance class. Jessie has been going to dance class since she was two, and every year, one day in January, they let parents/grandparents in to watch their kids’ class. My friend Sara took Sam home with her yesterday afternoon, so it was just me and Jess (and my in-laws) and …

All is delightful in my world at the moment. A little nausea, but the baby girl is bopping around in there. I think it’s honestly making the nausea worse, but I always like to feel her move, so I’m not complaining. Actually, I am – but not in a real way, more commenting. Stayed up …

I love to read. Love it. I have the best memories of my second grade teacher, who used to let me go to the school library when I finished in class early and take out more books. I used to read while walking home from school, it was my go to leisure activity. I’m the …

First, let me say that, for the record, when one of my kids is puking in the middle of the night – I want my husband beside me. He’s freaking fabulous with puke. We have a system, a routine, a carefully choreographed dance that we’ve worked over the past seven years of dealing with nighttime …

I spent yesterday afternoon in the labor and delivery unit, hooked up to a fetal monitor, listening to my baby girl’s heartbeat. On a side note, anyone know how much one of those would cost? If I could hook myself up every night, I would… there’s nothing more reassuring that the beat of your baby’s …

All is delightful here these days… Sam is still done with nursing, and I’m still in shock over it. It was such a big part of my life for so long, and it’s still odd to be done with it. He’s getting bigger and bigger – and such a daddy’s boy. He’s my cuddly bug, …

Because I really don’t know who’s reading this thing… I know of a couple of people, far, far away, Jessi, Joellen, Heather, and my good buddy Marc. As far as I know, it’s just the four of you and since I’ve got a bunch more readers than that – figured I’d beg for comments, because …

Due entirely to lack of sleep, and my own irrational dislike of taking medication. I’m going to force some tylenol down my throat and maybe some extra coffee… I try to avoid the caffiene, but today, it seems necessary. Both kids were up a lot last night, neither one, by themselves, would have been too …

Now that Sam has stopped nursing, he’s totally stepped up on the “I keeping you company” thing. I no longer sit down without him crawling up on top of me, frequently yanking on my hair, digging his little elbows into my leg or stomping directly on my belly. He likes to climb upside down on …
