In the past two days, my heart has stopped twice. Now, I realize we are raising a boy. And he is ALL BOY. So yesterday, we decided to take advantage of the strange 70 degree weather here in Indiana. We trek to the zoo. All is going well…we’re there…we’re stationed by the duck pond. Little… Continue reading Heart Stoppers!
For about two weeks, I’ve been pretty heavily convicted I need to take better care of myself. I am not particularly healthy right now, emotionally, physically or spiritually. I know I need to exercise. I know I need more sleep (although some of that is beyond my control). I need to spend time with Jesus.… Continue reading Really, God? Really?
In no particular order: …being a mommy means no vacation, even when your hubby is on vacation. There are always bottles to wash, diapers to change and bedtimes to maintain. …sleep training is SO important, but SO hard to do. We had LM sleeping pretty well, and then he quit. Then he started sleeping through… Continue reading Things I’ve Learned the Hard Way…
A friend of mine gave birth to a precious baby boy last October. In March, she said she still didn’t feel “normal,” and that she has heard it takes a year after giving birth to feel like yourself again. Obviously I didn’t give birth…so I wonder how long it takes for adoptive mommies? When I… Continue reading How Long?
Dear Little Man, It is late in the evening of your 8th month birthday. You are finally asleep, after battling a fever, a snotty nose and the desperate desire to stay awake and play. I should be asleep as well, because I do believe you have shared your cold with your mama, but I find… Continue reading 8 Months Old
Yesterday my mom (Mommy) took me (Momma) and Little Man to the local outlet mall to shop for my (recently departed) birthday. Of course she went crazy buying for the Little Man. He came home with a stack of books half his height and ten onesies. Granted, the onesies were half-price at the outlet store,… Continue reading Mommy & Momma
I have so many thoughts in my head that I can’t really separate them out, so today’s post is full of random ramblings. I finally feel like a stay-at-home-mom (although, in reality, we don’t stay at home a lot!). School has been back in session for two weeks, and I finally feel like I am… Continue reading Random Ramblings
So…Little Man is generally fussy, not eating his solids very well (except yogurt), still taking formula fine, and waking up fussy from naps and bedtimes. Our air conditioner bit the dust and it’s over 80 degrees in our house…plus it’s really humid outside (and over 90 degrees, even now at 8pm!). We don’t know if… Continue reading Calling Experienced Mommas!
So last week I read this book called “Babyville” by Jane Green. I’ve been reading a lot of her stuff lately. I tend to pick up a book at the library and then plow through that author’s entire collection. Green’s books are fluffy chick lit type books – perfect for my mommy brain right now!… Continue reading Fact? or Fiction?
I’ve always thought, even from when I was very little, that I would be a better mommy to a boy than a girl. I think I’m right. This is evidenced by the fact I can’t do hair. We were at my cousin’s yesterday and her little girl’s teeny-tiny ponytail (she’s not quite two) kept coming… Continue reading I Love Having a Boy!!
