So much for reflecting on Advent. *sigh* It came and went so fast, and time for reflection is slim these days. But I’m not complaining. Heidi is getting so big. She is sleeping less and needing me to entertain her more during the day, so until I am able to stay up past her bedtime,… Continue reading Dear 2011…Bring it.
Last year, I recognized the season of Advent on my blog. A couple weeks into December, I got a little distracted by a little pink plus sign. So I’d like to continue the tradition of writing about Advent, and let’s HOPE I do not get distracted by ANOTHER little pink plus sign. Holy cow. I… Continue reading I wonder if Jesus was a colicky baby.
The past few weeks have been somewhat of a doozy. This was really disappointing to me, as I had (or rather, thought I had) Heidi and her schedule all figured out. I hear this cruel phenomenon of getting the rug swept out from under you is fairly common in parenting. I submit that it’s fairly… Continue reading Thankful for my own little butterball…
Life looks a lot different now then it did ten years ago. While I normally blog about “now,” I would like to take a trip down memory lane. Yesterday was my three-year anniversary with my husband, Cody. While that seems like a long time, it’s been much longer since we first starting dating in September… Continue reading Looking back…and I wouldn’t change a thing.
There’s no doubt about it. Being a mom is a 24/7 job. Even if you do get a break in there where Grandma watches her or Aunt Karen watches her, you are still wondering in the back of your mind…is she screaming? Is she eating ok? Did she poop a huge nasty poop and now… Continue reading No rest for the weary
How is it possibly week 7 of Heidi’s little life already? I feel like I’ve been through the wringer, spit out on the other side, and now I’m feeling my arms and legs, completely shocked I made it out alive and in one piece (well….so far). It’s been everything (and also nothing) I expected. If… Continue reading I do what I want. Wait, no I don’t.
I’ve been wanting to write about Heidi’s birth story for awhile now. I am sure tiny shreds have left my memory, but I did take some time to type out the events of that week while I was in the hospital. In fact, I just read through it and it made me cry. Ha. So… Continue reading Heidi’s birth story (grab some popcorn)
Wow. I don’t even know where to start. The past three weeks have been…*insertall-inclusivedescriptivewordhere*. Such a huge beginning with so many levels, stretching in so many directions. It’s hard to wrap it all up into words. I could write about Heidi’s birth story…the night she was born, which was one of the most surreal and… Continue reading Lovely
Waiting has never been easy for me. Whether I’m waiting for little things…the coffeemaker, my book I ordered to come in the mail, even (or especially) that rollercoaster line that lasts two hours…or waiting for the big things…college graduation, marriage, pregnancy…I always find myself struggling to make the most of that idle time. I want meaning!… Continue reading Waiting on my life to change…
I realize sometimes I sound like a basketcase on this blog who worries and frets and stresses about having a baby. But just this morning, as I was out on my walk, I was reminded of how funny having a baby really is. How funny you act, how funny you look, and how funny other people… Continue reading It’s actually quite funny, you see…
