Saturday afternoon through dinner we were over at my mom’s, and then today, from Breakfast through bath and bed. My mom had lots of …
Not sure why, but I’m quite happy today. It’s great! Maybe it’s because it’s Thursday (TGIT!). Maybe because I’ve gone to bed early 3 nights in a row (bliss!!!) and not rushed in the mornings (also bliss!). Maybe I’m feeling kind of partially caught up at work. Maybe it’s also that I got to leave …
My sweet girl seems to be going through some separation anxiety. When I drop her off in the mornings lately, she doesn’t like it. She doesn’t want me to leave, wants to nurse, and if I make a move for the door, protests. I stay, bond, nurse and play and grandma plays, engages, distracts and …
Sunday night: how did you get here so quickly? Today was another enjoyable and chore-free day. Sleep in and hang out in bed with family until after 8. Pancakes for breakfast. Great hike with a friend. Lunch and a tv episode on Netflix. Nap! Then, with one SMALL chore (mixed up the dough for bread), …
Baby was asleep by 8:15. Yay! But it took over 2 solid hours of time in the bedroom to get there. We tried a bath at 6 but she didn’t like that idea. Shake, shake shake. So we went right into the bedroom, new diaper, nurse. Eyes closing within minutes! “I’ll be out of here …

Walking into a dark bedroom where a little mop-topped toddler is sitting up, rubbing her eyes, and asking quietly and clearly for “mama.” Said baby rolling over after nursing to rest her head on my heart, arms wrapped around my sides while I stroke her hair. Whoever said that being a parent doesn’t bring happiness …
Lest you all think I walk around in a dream-like state completely divorced from reality, here are some interactions that occur with my daughter that I really am not super fond of. I would say that they are not fun at all. At ALL. Trying for a positive spin, I would say they add depth …
Today I had the gift of some time and time-free experiences. After a reasonable night’s sleep, girlie woke up at 6:30 to nurse. And went back to sleep! My alarm was set for 6:40 and I felt pretty awake after a couple of longer sleep stretches, so I got up. Aaah, time to myself in …
Yesterday night I made a parenting decision that made me wonder about my to make decisions. In bed, trying to get baby to sleep. Nursing, bottle, napping, and before you know it she’s sitting up, signing “eat!” and making her adorable “I’m hungry!” noise: “umm, mm, mmm.” I thought it made sense to keep her …
