Every once in a while, the full reality of life hits you and you realize that life isn’t always gummy baby smiles and warm snuggles and millions of kisses. Sometimes life is full of aching hearts and extreme loneliness and crocodile tears. And on days like today, when all I want to do is crumple…
Mommy’s FloorBaby
My baby used to love to be cuddled. If he wasn’t in somebody’s arms, he was unhappy. You couldn’t leave him laying on the floor or laying on the bed or sitting in the bouncy chair or sitting in his car seat. You couldn’t even leave him swinging in his swing at his grandparent’s house…
Mommy’s Prayer
We’ve known Cameron has been a fan of music since way back in the pregnancy days. We would go to listen to our friend Bob play music at a local pub, and our little unborn bub shimmied and shook during each performance. And anytime I sang, my little SpaghettiO would be all a-wiggle. Now that…
Thinner Thursday
I kid you not, our bedding set (sheets, comforter, pillow cases) were purchased at a drugstore. They were purchased before we were married for my husband’s queen sized bed. When we got married we decided that it was only marginally better than my purple and pink swirly bedding set that I had for my double…
Positive Day
As I look down at my little man napping beside me in his bouncy chair, I think about how it is such a miracle that we now have this amazing tiny person in our lives. I mean, this little snuggling, smiling, giggling, wiggling bundle of preciousness was created out of a whole lot of love….
I Heart Dad
Dan’s Father’s Day gift. Pictures all taken on June 18th. 14 weeks, 6 days old. You should see the way Cameron looks at his Daddy. From the very first week of his life, Cameron has looked up at his Daddy with his big eyes in total awe. It is as if Cameron is hoping to…
Mommy Sighs
So, I’ve been feeling kind of low today. Well – that’s not entirely true. Today was a lovely, sunny, hot summer day. Cameron and I cuddled around the house until the Hubs was ready to come home from work. Then Cameron and I took the ferry and met him at his work. It is hard…
Thinner Thursday
Today, Cameron and I had a quiet day at home. We even got to nap together again (although do you really call it a nap at 7pm?). The weather was kind of lousy, so we didn’t go out. I did manage to do my second day of Jillian Michaels’ 30 Day Shred workout DVD this…
Mommy Appreciated (And how the Hubs redeemed himself)
Today was a nice day. The best part of my day? The Hubs gave me flowers. (In ridiculously close second place: I got a nap!) Now that I am a Mom, it is really easy to feel unappreciated (not that I need to feel appreciated… it is just nice, you know?). I mean, I hang…
Fail Day (aka Why does no one listen to Mommy?)
We have half a desk. Half a desk to hold our computer, two monitors, film scanner, printer, and all the other computer paraphernalia that we have. Sure, we used to have a full desk, but it collapsed on us a year ago. So now, we have half a desk. We know that we need to…
Mommy’s Expectations and Realities
**Reader Discretion is Advised: I know this is going to be a long blog post, but I believe that it is important for me to write it. And, if you are faithful to the end you will find baby pictures!** There’s been a lot of talk on the Mom-Blogosphere lately about how expectations don’t necessarily…
