2009-08-25T23:43:05Z

My little baby isn't so little! She had a check up today at the doctor. She's 21 days old, we were last in at 6 days old. She gained 25oz in 15 days! She's grown 2 1/4" inches since birth! She's now 80th percentile for weight, 95th for length, and...

Birth Story

2009-08-09T08:21:53Z

I started having contractions around 5:30pm Monday. I only felt them in my lower back and lower abdomen and they were completely bearable. They felt just like the braxton hicks contractions I had been having for 5+ weeks, only with some lower bac...

Delivered!

2009-08-08T05:53:27Z

Just an update that I had my baby girl earlier this week. She had a rough start and had to be in the NICU for two days. But we're home now and baby and I are both doing great! I'll post more details later, when I'm doing doing a midnight feeding.

Pregnant

2009-07-25T14:15:50Z

I just realized that it's been forever since I've updated here. I'm still alive. I'm still pregnant. I'm 39 weeks tomorrow. The end of this pregnancy is much rougher on me than the end of pregnancy with my son. My hips ache in the morning from al...

"MoMo" Pants

2009-05-27T00:20:44Z

My son loves Elmo (or "MoMo", as he calls him). I don't think it's from watching Sesame Street, because we don't do that too often. I think it's because of that stuffed doll he's holding in the picture on the left. I decided that because of his ...

Such Manners

2009-03-23T18:37:43Z

I took my son to an indoor play area this weekend. They had a mini "city" set up, with stuff like a pretend grocery store and lots of Little Tykes cars--the kind that the kid powers with their feet. When we first got there, I led my son to one of ...

Whoops

2009-03-18T18:38:30Z

My son has been really good about staying in bed until my husband or I get him. But last night, he must have decided he wanted more mom & dad time. My husband and I were watching a movie when my husband paused it to go check on our son, as he thou...

Growing Up

2009-03-06T13:45:07Z

We got our son a big boy bed last night. He watched us assemble it and as soon as it was together, he tried to climb in--before the mattress was even in. I got the mattress in and he climbed on and laid down. It was his bedtime, so I got him into ...

You Think He'd Learn

2009-01-21T13:36:31Z

Every weekday, my son gets oatmeal for breakfast. Every weekday, he sticks his hands into his oatmeal. Every weekday, he then whines that his hands are covered with oatmeal so that I'll give him a washcloth to wipe them off. How come he hasn't fig...

Storkcraft issued a recall of all of their cribs sold between May 2000 through January 2009. The metal support brackets used to support the crib mattress and mattress board can crack and break. When one or more support brackets break, the mattres...
