Today was a good, good day. C slept until 6:30, then we lay in bed & he had a boobie until about 7 & we got up. He & I had a nice mellow morning while JV slept in (tomorrow is my morning, woo hoo!) and then after C’s morning nap we all went on a walk. C rode in the backpack & burbled his running monologue the whole time we were out. We walked ( Read more... )

Well, we’re back from the in-laws! It was a nice visit, even though we got back too late for me to go to the Gnostic Mass Sunday night, and I missed gasbarri’s visit ( Read more... )

So today was my 33rd birthday. I was feeling pretty blasé about it, as I figured it was going to be a day much like any other day. The plan was to go to Mother Goose with C, meet our friend S for coffee & lunch after, then maybe order some Indian food tonight & watch a movie on pay per view. A good day, but nothing out of the ordinary ( Read more... )

Yep, spent a sick day yesterday. I was achey and tired all day, and the low grade nausea just progressed as the day went by. I tried napping, a nice shower, a short walk, but nothing helped. I swear I almost felt pregnant, only worse. I went to bed when JV got home at 5:30, and except for about 1/2 hr when I got up to eat some crackers & mint ( Read more... )

Bleh...where is the mood for "wiped out"? How about "demolished"? This sick kid stuff is hard! This weekend was all about all-mama, all the time. I haven't nursed so much since he was a little baby. I even have a nursing blister to commemorate our nurse-a-thon, and I haven't had one of those in months. Bleh ( Read more... )

Well, it's official. I have been both vomited & shat upon in the last 24 hrs. C seems to have picked up a stomach flu. He's in pretty good spirits otherwise, but the body fluids have been a flowin ( Read more... )

Considering my family history & gene pool, it's only by the grace of Maude I'm not piss drunk everyday! Thankfully, I only enjoy a glass or two of wine occasionally, three or four once in a great while (now that I'm a mama). Don't let it fool you, though - once apon a time, I was a party girl to rival all party girls! Sometimes I miss those days ( Read more... )

Well, our first day of childcare swap was a success! It was a bit short, but that’s cool for our first time I think. P dropped off little N at about 9am. She snuck out while he wasn’t looking (not sure how I feel about that kind of thing, but I have a baby who doesn’t make a peep when I leave, so who am I to judge?), and he was fine for about 5 ( Read more... )
