Thinking about prayer. About how important it is; how many aspects of life can benefit from prayer; how I can pray more. I think about my daughter’s eczema, which is getting worse. I’m so glad we’re going to a specialist next week, and that I’m pursuing this diet (talk about a change in attitude from …
Were it not for this blog, I would be sleeping right now beside my adorable baby. But here I am. And with just a few updates, there I go. Long week, no nap today, I need to sleep. We saw the doctor for baby’s eczema today. He’s referred us to a dermatologist and supports my …
Tonight I really feel like complaining. I want to write out the things I want to complain about. Just one or two … please? I also do not feel like blogging. I want to sleep. Now. However, I’m going to dig a bit and write at least one thing peace-related. I’ve been noticing at work …
Milky questions have been keeping me up and bringing me down. We are nearing the end of our donated milk supply. All the wonderful women who have pumped for us and donated to us aren’t able to help out anymore. I’m looking online for donors through Human Milk 4 Human Babies, but there aren’t many …
I can’t believe the busyness lately. And I know this topic is getting repetitive. But really: where does the time go?? Up first thing with baby. Rush rush to get to work – get there 2 – 3.5 hours later (??? eating, feeding, cleaning, dressing, packing, loading car, driving, unloading car, settling baby, maybe nursing, …
Today was an emotional day for me. So much going on, so little time, not enough sleep. Baby slept in this morning, so I did too (she’s my alarm clock). We made it out in time, but it meant we didn’t get a lot of bonding time in the morning. And the drive there was …
Working 4 days a week rather than 5 is a huge, huge peace-of-mind-maker. Weekends go by quickly enough as it is, and weeks too slowly. I really don’t think I would feel I had enough (synonyms adequate, moderately acceptable, baseline) time with my daughter if we only had the two days at home each week. …
Yesterday was a bit of a challenging day. Baby was up a lot the night before with a fever and fussing. I wasn’t sure how she would do during the day but I had a presentation and meeting so I brought her to mom’s and checked up on her throughout the day. By 1:00 she …
(argh … opening erased … I am TIRED and will not rewrite it. In brief: how do I spend my time, the little tiny bit I have?) So, my time. During the day I sometimes breathe. More often I quickly quickly clean – laundry, pick-up things, fill dishwasher, put away put away. Then check email/facebook. …
After a balanced, peaceful day yesterday, today felt off kilter. Up early with a crying baby. Trying to do too much. Grumpy. The collision between expectations and time. By 8:30 a.m. today I had played with baby, fed her breakfast & cleaned up, made granola and a loaf of bread and other chores. I wish …
