I’ll be honest, the last nearly 2 weeks of posts are back-dates. I was just too busy and the baby too ready to eat to get to the computer in time to blog every day, but I did end up with a post for every day, and they ARE real posts! It just took me … [Read more…]
It’s exhausting. It’s tiring. Those are 2 separate things. One has more to do with maintaining your previous schedule along with all the other new responsibilities and the other is just taking care of a newborn, you know? Triage. The whole day is triage. From getting up and the 2 of us tag team-ing … [Read more…]
It’s hard, it really is, to give everyone what they need. Every time you try and take care of one, 2 of the others lose their minds. I kid you not, it’s insane. But we love it. We put up the little kid’s ‘Little People’ Nativity Scene and they’ve been playing with that today. … [Read more…]
We got this in the mail. How excited am I? In case it’s hard to read, it means that we were able for the first time in FOUR tries, to donate cord blood (aka stem cells) to our regional bank. That means if there was enough, it could be banked for another person in case … [Read more…]
Happy Thanksgiving!! Well it ended up being a really odd day, today. The baby slept basically all night. Yeah! I know, random thing to be thankful for, but we got a ton of rest, which means my husband ended up with a sore back and headache… and guess who cooked 99% of Thanksgiving dinner? Yup, … [Read more…]
Here’s me, and my baby! It was strange to go into the dentist with a baby so small, but we figured we’d have been home for 2 weeks by now! Honestly, we figured this baby would come early, and were shocked we had made it to the C-section date at all! Anyway, most of us … [Read more…]
Today we had our 1 week check with the doctor, he was I think a bit surprised she wasn’t back up to her birth weight and suggested we wake her to feed her every 3 hours during the day, but no jaundice, no other issues, etc. I went in while Matthew kept the other 3 … [Read more…]
I printed out a ton of Thanksgiving items, and my husband is gung ho about getting the kids to burn through the worksheets! I read a bunch of Thanksgiving books to the kids, and we watched some movie type things (Charlie Brown, etc)… to go along with the theme. It’s going to be a busy … [Read more…]
FB post from this morning: Post-pregnancy is the only time you can get on the scale a day later, having lost 12 lbs. and not think ‘ what the hell happened’… Just shy of 20 lbs on (thanks for the cobbler and cookies mom), and 17 lbs. back off in under a week… on the … [Read more…]
Kind of hard to see, but it snowed on our first full day home! Now you know why we wanted to go home! My MIL took the 2 big kids, so we’re 2 on 2 right now, and just BARELY making it! Poor Casey is really upset and crying a lot, but you can tell … [Read more…]
