I guess it is! Today is my hubby’s birthday, and my Dad & Stepmom left town. My Mom agreed to stay (up all night) with the kiddo, so we’re having an impromptu “couple” night! All night! We might sleep until noon! Uninterrupted! Last night the kiddo was up from 2:30 until 6:00. I had a… Continue reading Is It Really February 11?
I love my son. No, really. I LOVE my son. I cannot believe how much I love him. Before we adopted, I did secretly wonder how much I would love our child. I mean, you hear all the time about the bond between a mother and the naked, slimy newborn laying on her chest. I… Continue reading Is This Normal?
I’m confused about the privacy issue when it comes to blogging. I have friends who post their names, their kiddos’ names, their hometowns, their jobs and pictures of all of the above. Then I have friends who use their blogs as family newsletters, essentially, detailing all sorts of things that happen with their family. Then… Continue reading Where’s the Line?
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 yesterday there’s a knock on our front door. I had just gotten Little Man to fall asleep on my lap (he’s cutting two teeth and is very clingy and whiny and refuses to sleep). Keith had just walked in the back door, home from work. I yell (because the dogs barking woke up the… Continue reading The First Time
It is way hot where we live. Like over 100 degrees plus 1000 percent humidity. It’s nasty. I even tried the library yesterday as a change of scenery place for Little Man to play, and it was hot. Yuck. So, today, you get a post of random tidbits: * I’m reading “The Help.” It’s disturbing… Continue reading It’s Hot
When Little Man cries, I wonder… *Does he miss Mama S? *Is he crying because my body is still foreign to him? *Is he in pain somewhere down deep inside? *Physical pain? Emotional pain? *Is he overtired and overstimulated? *Is he bored? Is he hungry? *Does he wonder who the heck I am? *Am… Continue reading I Wonder….
How many more days until January 9? Why am I totally nesting? I mean, seriously…laundry load after laundry load…relining all the kitchen cabinets…rearranging rooms…cleaning…crying over things that don’t stay clean very long (courtesy of the mega-shedding dogs)…re-rearranging rooms…rearranging dresser drawers…cleaning out closets….making list after list… Why am I so moody? Why can’t I sleep? How… Continue reading Can’t Think of a Title…
First, I have to say thanks to DINA who posted a comment on my last post. She’s new to my blog, but she left wonderfully helpful info. However, I don’t know what “pink lotion” is that she uses for her son’s hair. And I can’t seem to find a way to track back to her… Continue reading Thanks, Questions and Musings…
We got our second letter yesterday from S, our Birth Mother. It was a beautiful letter. See, there are circumstances surrounding S’s life that make it possible for us to communicate in exactly one way: letters written, sent to the lawyer and then mailed to us from the law offices. It’s kind of quaint, kind… Continue reading Communicating with Birth Mom
