Cameron got his four month shots on Monday. Remember the last time Cameron got shots? It was pretty much like that again. Cameron seemed to remember that last time he didn’t enjoy the doctor’s office very much when he was laid down on the examining table to be measured. All of a sudden, the biggest…

Dear Dan: A Love Letter to my Husband on our Second Anniversary
I love you. Two years ago today, on a beautiful sunny day in July, I promised to spend the rest of my life with you. I promised to love you during good times and bad, when we’re struggling and when we’re flourishing, when you’re at your worst and when you’re at your best. I promised…
Mommy Pictures: A Day in the Life
No one can ever tell me that this job is easy. My Hungry Monster still wakes up at least twice, sometimes three times a night. We normally wake up at 1 or 2am, 4 or 5am, and then sometimes at 6am. The last wake-up is usually because my baby is gassy or otherwise uncomfortable. I…
Thinner Thursday
I have so not been in the mood to blog today. It is HOT y’all. Can I just say, I am so glad to not be pregnant in this heat! It is hard enough snuggling with a hot baby all day. Momma’s sweaty, baby is sweaty – we have pit stops every couple of hours…
The Swaddle Saga
A while ago (June 22nd to be exact), I put Cameron in his bed, and he was fast asleep. Normally he gets restless in his bed until I swaddle him and then he’s out. I had been considering de-swaddling for a while, but I just didn’t know how to go about it. So, when I…
Dear Cameron: A Love Letter to My Four Month Old
**Disclaimer: I really wrestled with whether I should post this today. Today Cameron is four months old. This really is meant to be a letter to my son about the last month, not just a gimmick for a blog. And so, for the first time, I have written about what is going on that has…
It was bound to happen
I’ve mentioned this before, but Cameron loves to stand. In fact, we can hold this three month old little boy’s hands and he will (slowly) walk a few steps. There are lots of times when he simply isn’t happy unless he is on his feet. On Saturday afternoon, the Hubs was hanging out with Cameron,…
Thinner Thurs…uh….Saturday
Thursday was Canada Day, so I took a bit of a break from blogging (and by break, I mean I was out at a barbecue and then Cameron didn’t go to bed so I didn’t have much time to blog). That meant my weekly weigh-in had to be postponed. Don’t you think I backed out…
You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Grey
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 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…
