going to start a blog
Ok, so this is a blog, in the "web log" sense of the word. but i dont use it in that whole public blog way, I actually use it as an actual journal. I've had it since i was 16, and these 15 years of growing and changing into who I actually am are not something I would necessarily want to release to the public with no privacy restrictions. so Ive set ( Read more... ) -
kids are crazy.
By 7:30 this morning, I was already ready to abandon ship. Bash peed his bed last night. Bear was tired and not thinking and didn't want to deal w the bed, so he wiped him down, put fresh *undies* on him, and let him sleep in our bed. Which he peed. Like, a lot, because no pull-up. We have a memory foam topper so cleaning pee from our bed is a ( Read more... ) -
So maybe we aren't stuck here forever...
Bear and I were complete novices when we bought this house. It's not a "bad" place. In fact, I can't think of anyone I know irl that I would say has a house that is all-around better, even though there are a lot of people who have a particular room I envy, or a yard, or whose layout is better. I like the location of our house so close to the ( Read more... ) -
feeling loved
bear is amazing. since Ollie was born, i've taken over night shift. iwake up with him because Bear works using heavy machinery, which means it could be dangerous for him to lose too much sleep and be all zoned out and half-there on the job. I don't work, so while my life isnt sunshine and puppies if i'm tired, it isn't going to get me killed. plus ( Read more... ) -

My birth story was a little incomplete (anticlimactic was one description, lol) due to my not being able to get pics uploaded for whatever reason. so lemme fix that! He's pretty dang adorable, if I do say so myself :)

Cute stuff Bash has been up to
Bash has been doing some really cute things, so I wanted to note them down so I can look over them when he's a bratty teenager and remember why I shouldn't murder him :)
Yesterday I asked him what he wanted for breakfast. He made a cute thinking face and taped his chin, "Uh,... Big boobies! And fruit!" I said, "No boobies, bud." and he got this ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
my friend Natalie postedna link on fb to a post about having babies (!) it talked about how it was cool, but not emotionally transformative, as many say. (I have one, as one might forget, since I rarely, if ever, mention babies. I know! crazy!) funny thing, Bear and I had a convo when Bash was about 4 months old or so about how we heard so many ( Read more... ) -
its a boy
we found out for sure the gender. it's a boy! so Oliver it is, which means Sebastian will have a brother. i suppose it's good for Bash, because same-gender siblings are likely to be closer. i am a little sad not to be having a daughter, but i cant say i'm too surprised, and going on how it was with Bash, I know I'll be thrilled and love him like ( Read more... ) -
