Oh look, a blog post where I actually talk about what’s going on in my life!

Me and my sick kid

Noah was sick all of last week. We got a call from daycare on Monday that he had a fever of 101. He’s cutting several teeth, so the daycare director and I assumed the fever was due to that and decided to give him Tylenol and wait it out. Several hours later the daycare called and said his fever had gone up to 103. Robbie picked him up and I left work, then took him to the doctor. Noah’s had {Read More}

Blogging Ethics & A Handful of Milestones

1 year

Believe it or not, I am constantly writing posts that never make it to this blog. There are two in particular that I’ve intended on posting for over month, but I just can’t seem to wrap them up. One of the posts is difficult for me to write because it requires me to talk about relationships within my family. I haven’t figured out how to walk the line between candidness and brutal honesty. I don’t want to disrespect or hurt {Read More}

Have a baby: lose weight. Is this my life?

Braiiins

*Edit: I weighed myself the morning after this post to get my “true” weight and I weighed in at 134.8. Holy crap! Evidently having a baby is the best thing I’ve ever done for my body. We bought a new scale today. It’s a fancy kind that can track your weight loss goals. Something I learned from the Tumblr Fitblr community is that you never weigh yourself at the end of the day. You weigh yourself first thing in the {Read More}

Blogging, Interrupted

Not his first header into a table, I'm sure.

I don’t know how Mommy Bloggers make time to blog once their baby starts to walk. (Am I breaking some kind of 4th wall by acknowledging myself as a mommy blogger? Whatever.) My free time disappeared with a POP! as soon as Noah started walking. Oh yeah. Noah started walking! I was lucky enough to get a video on the day he started walking with support. Now he walks 100% independently. And that’s all he wants to do. So all {Read More}

Blogging (Or Lack Thereof) & CIO

Amoxicillin hates me :(

I’m having my first allergic reaction to a medication. Yesterday I finished a 10-day course of Augmentin (Amoxicillin). Today I broke out into red spots all over my body. They weren’t raised and they didn’t itch at first. I saw a NP at my doctor’s office and she thought that I might have a viral infection because I’m also battling cold symptoms. She said that if the spots were itching she’d think it’s an allergic reaction. She said unless I {Read More}

Oh hi, remember me?

"That's a good pose," said no one ever.

  So, needless to say I’ve been busy.   I never want blogging to become something that I “have” to do. I’m going to treat this thing like all of my private blogs that I’ve kept throughout the years (minus the cussing). So, I update when I update and I write about whatever strikes me at the moment.   Right now? I’m going to bring you up to speed on what I was up to in September.     Robbie {Read More}

Old blog entries, Free B&W Portrait, & Noah Milestones

IMAG0209

I’m reading old blog entries from one of my previous blogs. I wrote the entries in 2003, when I was 15. Being reminded of the way I talked, the things I cared about, what I thought was cool…it’s cringe worthy, honestly.   I had a huge crush on Johnny Knoxville and I used words like “w00t”. I was obsessed with Christina Aguilera. (Don’t judge me.) I talked a lot about school, boys and my girlfriends. I was angsty. I was {Read More}

I’m a mom. I talk about poop now.

Poop

Featured Image by gtmcknight at Flickr Poor Noah hasn’t pooped since Friday. It’s Wednesday! He’s plenty gassy — boy, he can rip ‘em like an adult. Unfortunately the gas pain has made him really fussy. It’s hard for me to see him so uncomfortable. He’s never fussy, so to see him upset for an extended period of time is strange and difficult to handle. I feel so helpless. I took him to the doctor yesterday even though he has his {Read More}
