Emerson and I are chillaxing this morning. She has been on a bit of a feeding frenzy – yesterday it seemed as though I constantly fed her from dawn to dusk. Well, not constant feeding, but constant fussiness between the feedings so there was no break. Somehow she realized we were a bit exhausted, and…
Sorry I have been gone so long… it’s near impossible to blog and care for a newborn. She doesn’t sleep through the night, she eats a lot and only I can provide that (though my husband the SuperDad wishes he could lactate so he could bond with her on all levels), and when we do…
All the stylish men will be sporting black jersey Moby Wraps this Spring. Baby accessory is sold separately… I just thought this was too cute. We received this baby carrier at our shower – thought it was a good choice for a 5’3″ mom and a 6’5″ dad. My husband shows that it does work…
As most of you know, my plan was to have a completely natural birth. I switched early in my pregnancy from a highly-respected OB/GYN group to a birthing center with midwives after much research. Call me a hippie or a masochist, but I really wanted to experience the birth of my child sans medication, surgery…
Just a quick note as that I just got back home – our daughter was born on January 8th, 2009 at 5:35 AM. She was 7 lbs., 9 oz., 19 inches long with brown hair. Think she looks a lot like me, but a bit of her daddy (especially with her long legs!). When I…
Hi guys, just checking in! No baby yet, we are on Day 3 of BabyWatch since she had the official EDD of January 2nd. Went to the midwife, body is not really showing signs of being ready; tomorrow I am going for an NST and biophysical workup to ensure the baby is doing well and…
Tomorrow morning I have my weekly appointment and will find out how dilated I am. No real stuff going on that makes me think labor is happening soon – none of the symptoms, not even any Braxton Hicks. Just tired and achy and antsy. Hip joints, back and knees are getting a bit sick of…
To those that celebrate this holiday, I wish you a Merry Christmas! Not much is new here… still on bedrest, still no baby. The house is going well – yesterday they installed the kitchen cabinets and appliances. No sink or counters, but the fridge, range and microwave are working! We should have the rest within…
One thing with being pregnant and then being on bed rest… your laptop becomes your dearest friend. Yes, it is great to IM with friends, visit Facebook and see what is up with old classmates, chat on message boards and check email… but the shopping it totally heavenly. I started Christmas shopping in July because…
