New Year Survey 2016
1. What did you do in 2016 that you’d never done before? Left Owen overnight for the first time. Took my baby to Disney World! 2. Did you keep your New Year’s resolutions, and will you make more for next year? Last year I wanted to get more than three hours of consecutive sleep. Took, almost […]
Nightweaning the Stubborn, Bedsharing Toddler
So it’s been over a year since I started night weaning and we’ve gone from nursing 8-15 times a night to once in the “morning” at 5:30am :) I thought I would share the resources and tips that helped me. I read a lot of parenting books and articles and basically take what works for […]
Disney 2016
Hands down, best trip ever! I knew going with Owen would be more fun, but really, everything went perfectly and having our extended family there made it even more special! Owen was a bit scared at first of pretty much everything, but he warmed up after a couple of days. We had to come back […]
Happy Second Birthday!
My baby is two! And we’re having more and more fun each day. Studying up on his Disney and singing along to all the tunes :) Playing with the neighborhood kids who just adore him. Yesterday, his actual birthday, was Jay and Julia’s wedding. I was gone all day doing bridesmaid things, so we celebrated […]
We went to sesame place last week. We thought it was a disaster at first. It was super hot when we got there and it was just before his usual nap time, plus we had to wait a little bit for Carolyn, Tom and Connor. The first thing he we saw was Grover and we […]
I love hearing him singing downstairs while I’m upstairs working :D he likes to sing along with Scout. So cute. We also have real conversations now, mostly about the “ammals.” We go to the park to see them every weekend and he finally got to the zoo this week with Bryan and his little friend. […]
Fine Mommy, I’ll Drive Myself
Work, oy. everyone voted no-go for deployment and they still deployed. Such a mess. We’ll be cleaning up production for the next few weeks. I’ve been doing a lot of singing as part of the ATT Cares Band too which is a lot more fun. Owen reaches new levels of adorable every day. Bryan’s step mom […]
Post Baby Period
Warning, this post contains TMI. Those of you who knew me as a teenager know I suffered quite a bit during that time of the month. Especially whenever I went on vacation! It wasn’t just the terrible, terrible cramps, I was tired and cranky and I dreaded it every month. The final straw was my […]
Oh Sleep, Welcome Back
Owen’s sleep has been so good this week, I started trying to night wean again. This time, the second half of the night. I have to nurse him when he wakes up at 1:30, but he seems OK with skipping all the other feedings. Well, not quite OK, but he doesn’t put up too much […]
Another birthday
I turn 29 again tomorrow ;) not doing anything special really. I should have gotten a haircut today. It’s been about a year and a half. I watched Gilmore Girls instead. Work has been slightly less crazy, mostly because testing had been blocked by one of the other systems. The bachelorette weekend was a blast. […]
