Yikes, there’s been a lot going on since my last post! You know how I was amazed by how easy it was to be home with just the baby? Well, I spoke too soon. Things got hard! And then they got easier again, but still hard. I’m not going to be able to tell the… Continue reading Family Update, Sam at 1 Month Old
Ari turned 3 a week and a half after Sam was born. He’d been saying he wanted to invite all his friends from school to a birthday party, but I couldn’t handle hosting a big party at that time! Fortunately, when the time came he didn’t seem to mind. Shortly before the big day, he… Continue reading Ari, 3 Years Old!
My parents were here at the beginning of the week to help with my first days home with both kids with A. back at work. It was great having them keeping Ari occupied and holding Sam when I needed my hands free. They got up with Ari in the morning so that A. and I… Continue reading Sam, Week 3
Sam’s second week, A. stayed home on Monday but that evening he had to go to a neighborhood meeting. I walked with him, wearing Sam in the wrap and pushing Ari in a stroller, for a vote that was happening at the beginning of the meeting, then the three of us went home without A.,… Continue reading Sam, Week 2, and Furniture Rearrangement
Our baby has arrived! Obviously, that’s why I’ve been MIA from here for the past few weeks. I will tell you all about him, but first, let me catch up from the beginning of June! June 4th and 5th was a HOT weekend, with temperatures in the high 90s! I was thinking it would be… Continue reading Welcome, Sam! Birth Story and the First Week
Well, it’s been another week and I’m still pregnant! I get regular contractions around 11pm to midnight every night, but they always go away and I fall asleep. When I went to the doctor on Tuesday, she said I’m dilated to 3cm (I was disappointed there hasn’t been more progress) and that I should do… Continue reading End of May 2016 and Still Pregnant
This post is a little early because I want to finally write about my second (and most likely last) pregnancy before it’s over! I guess it’s gone by fast… I’ve mostly been focused on taking care of Ari but in the past few months, with my belly getting in the way more often, I’ve been… Continue reading May 2016 and Pregnancy Update
Well, hello! I have a lot of catching up to do! Since my last post, spring has arrived, we’ve mostly been healthy, and I guess we’ve just been too busy for blogging. We’ve been working on plans for our house project that I’m not ready to publicize yet, and I entered the third trimester of… Continue reading March and April 2016 – Springtime, Easter, and Baby Prep
I was still pretty sick for most of last month and Ari was sick off and on. Almost three weeks in, I was just congested and coughing a little and I thought he had a bit of a cold but was otherwise healthy, but it turned out he was getting Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease!… Continue reading February 2016
This year has been off to a rough start with one illness after another for all of us (colds, etc.). But we still have our goals for the rest of the year! I have to share a funny story about our vision board last year. I had included a picture of a woman unloading a… Continue reading Vision Board 2016 – A Belated New Year’s Post
