I never thought I’d be a breastfeeding mother.  I don’t know why, really.  I was breastfed and saw my mother nurse both my sisters.  For some reason, however, I just always assumed I’d bottle feed any children I had, partly because that’s just what I thought I’d prefer and partly because it seemed the most [...]

It’s 4:58 and I have a very awake baby – very happy, kicky, stretchy baby whose content to lay on her back and look at everything. She slept from 8:30-12:30 last night and went right back to sleep after eating until 4:30 – which is great. Except for the “wide awake in the 4s” thing. [...]

So we’re entering the fussy stage, I guess, and Isla has decided the only acceptable thing is a) to be held and b) by me. We could also include c) preferably nursing, but so far that hasn’t been an absolute requirement – just a pretty strong preference. I begged off tonight, telling Tahd I was [...]

Read Part 1 here and Part 2 here. ********** As the afternoon progressed, the painful area on the left side of my abdomen increasingly began to ache.  It made it easy for me to tell when I was having contractions, and I even began feeling like I had to concentrate and breathe through some of [...]

Read Part 1 here ********** Somewhere along the way I called the doctor to report that my water had broken.  They asked about my contractions and told me I should probably go in anyway even though my contractions weren’t super regular.  Once that decision had been finalized I plodded through my various tasks between contractions.

Am I the only one who reads that title to the tune of  ”Since You’ve Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson? Yeah. So this is Isla’s first week in pictures.  I realized I want to get more pictures of Gabe and Isla together. It’s harder since he’s basically gone to school for all the daylight hours! [...]

A blogger I read tracks her goals for the week, and I think it’s something I’d like to try. So much to do, so little time, and so hard to stay focused!  We’ll see if this is a one-time event or if it turns into an ongoing series.  ;) Personal 1. Finish pictures and write [...]
