Andy has slept in his bassinet all week!   Last night was a rough one, however.  He was up at 2 and I rocked and patted and swayed and swaddled and sung to him until 4:30 when he was finally calm enough to go down on his own.  I&#

Who saw 'Big Love' lat night? All I have to say is, 'oh my who is the next plural marriage prophet of God!?'  So much shit went down in the last ten minutes, I can't even believe it.  I am want to throw up thinking

Because he slept in his bassinet all night on his own! Now, this is not to be confused with sleeping through the night, which he did not do. He was up at his usual 2:45, but he went to sleep in his bassinet at 10:00 after Big Love, and the

All he does is eat.  He is perpetually hungry. And refuses, and I mean refuses, to sleep in his bassinet by himself.  He won't sleep alone.  He needs to be in bed with us and then he is fine. And wants to be held all the

I got carded today!   I am pushing thirty years old with two kids and I got carded at the Ground Round in downtown Scranton at lunchtime! 

A very confused parent from Brooklyn College in Brooklyn, NY at 10:53 am today typed these words into the ask.com search bar: son wears thong and was forwarded, for some odd reason, here . 

Today is the first time since Andrew was conceived that we have been apart.  Daddy took him and Little Red to Nana's house.  I am completely and 100% alone and by myself.  How about that?  I'm dealing with it better than I

For the first few nights, it was cute when the baby was wide awake at three in the morning and then cat napped real quick until five-thirty.  Now, notsomuch. The effects of new mommyhood are starting to settle in.  I am tired and crank

I have been living in my house for more than five years and just last week acquired a tea kettle.

So, maybe it was that fact that Hubby had to ask me if I planned on leaving the bedroom at all today, or maybe that he made it a point to mention that I smelled good to which I simply replied that I bathed this morning, but I figure postpartum is set

As I was in labor, I kept meaning to remind myself to write a letter to Future Me when I was through reminding her how bad having a baby hurts and that no matter how much I think I might want to do it again, not to.  Ever.  They say that ha

Because I love all of you, here are some pictures o Andrew's birth.   Arguing with Hubby not to take me to the hospital because I didn't want to be sent home.   Calling Mom to say they admitted me and broke my water.&

It all started Thursday with my 39 week Dr’s appointment.  Dr checked me and I was only 1 1.2 cm, as I mentioned before.  I guess the exam must have triggered something because that night I kept dreaming I had a stomach ache and it tu

Dr. T did an exam yesterday and while last week Shelley said that I was 3 cm dilated and almost all thinned out but baby's head was too high to be induced, well, Dr. T says that I am only 1 1/2 cm and mostly thick.  But baby's head is wa

Still no baby. I'm thinking of changing my outgoing voice mail message to say: 'Hi, it's me. Still no baby. If there is still something you need me for, leave a message. Otherwise, hang up and, trust me, I wil

Of a July baby. No.  Stinking.  Baby. Contractions went on all day yesterday, some hurt more than others, not really consistent as the day wore on, but still, they never stopped.  I went to sleep around 6:30 last night and sl
