I know you must be thinking, “what?!, you cray girl!” But truth be told, weekends can be hard. They can also be ridiculously amazing. A weekend is only two days and it can be hard to fit in everything I need and want to do in just those two days. All I really WANT to […]
This week has not been without it’s challenges. It started out lovely with the 3 day weekend which included an overnight trip to Carmel and a toddler sleepover. However, come Tuesday night, all hell broke loose. I was trying to keep up my meal planning and was hard at work cooking salmon and salad. My […]
Another late SJ update post but here are the awesome things SJ has been up to. Stats: 26 1/2 pounds and 33 1/2 inches (although I think they messed up you seem taller than that). You are so busy. Like I mean you are really busy. You never slow down. The other day the […]
This past week we went on our first family vacation to Tahoe. It was lovely. Unfortunately Steve and I got stuck working the whole time so that was a real bummer but we made a few great memories while we could. We took SJ swimming in the lake and enjoyed an awesome concert on the […]
Part 3 as continued from part 2 and part 1. The nurse returned from calling the doctor maybe 5 minutes later. She waltzed in moving quickly with lots of gear in her arms. She announced “we are prepping you for surgery”. I couldn’t believe it happened that quickly. I thought the doctor would come by and […]
Welcome to part 2 and day 3 of my birth story! Continued from part 1. I woke up on Friday (my actual due date) feeling very optimistic. Those pills had to have worked! This baby is coming! The nurse came in and checked me and still nothing. Seriously!?! What the f? We decided to wait […]
Even though my son is now 1, I still thought I would share my birth story. Not because I think I might forget (I don’t think I could ever forget), but more because my birth story is highly unusual and involved several medical interventions. I love reading everyone else’s birth stories but they usually always […]
This seems to be the debate or the century. I would like to preface this by saying I use the term “working out of the home” because I do believe that being a stay at home mom is a job and I also know that a lot of moms have careers where they work from […]
Well my boy, we made it. You are 1 big guy. And a big guy you are! We had a lovely party to celebrate but more on that later. Weight: 23 pounds Height: 30.5 inches Milestones: Walking! Yes my dear you walk. You started walking about a week or so before your first birthday and […]
Yesterday I turned 3o. 30 folks. I am in denial, but I am not. Does that make sense? 30 feels like a big number, a really big number. However then I start thinking about everything I have achieved. I am college educated with a great job, married, homeowner, and most importantly a mother. I have […]
