Things that are obvious to more experienced parents...
I am in the process of getting over what I have dubbed "DeathCold '12" since "common cold" does not describe the agony of this particular virus. Maybe flying all around and taking part in a wedding made it much worse, but Mashashi actually had to carry me up the stairs last night since walking up them was simply not an option.

Yay and ugh...
Just got back from G's wedding trip! It was positively lovely (yay!) though I have a horrible cold (ugh) and was therefore high on Theraflu the whole night. The doctor says it is totally safe to take while pregnant, but I am still convinced the baby will be born lemon-scented ( Read more... ) -

Being Mama
Hiroshi turned one a couple of days ago.
In this year, I have worried more than in any year previous. I've had health problems I didn't know existed. I've got less sleep than I thought it was possible for a human being to function on.

I've never taken Hiroshi before ( Read more... ) -
