Long time, no blog! I have been pretty quiet on here lately, mostly because life has been crazy! Things have settled down a bit, so I’m so happy to be back writing! We have so much to catch up on, but for starters let’s talk about this quarantine, amiright? Since this scary time has started,… Continue reading We’re back! And we’re quarantined!
“Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This…”
I feel like lately my life has been one mini-meltdown after the next. With working full time, a feisty/sassy/needy six month old, moving to a new home, and everything that comes with life in general, there’s been more times than I can count in the past month where I just wanted to hide somewhere and… Continue reading “Mama Said There’d Be Days Like This…”
Survival of the Tooth Arrival
When the teething gets tough, we reach for the hard stuff!*No babies were intoxicated in the making of this photo* Well, as expected, we’re still slowly getting used to our ever-changing life! Juggling the many tasks that seem to forever be marked on my mental to-do list (that just keeps growing!) is not a task… Continue reading Survival of the Tooth Arrival
Getting used to change
It’s been a while! I’ve been meaning to write a lot more than I have the past couple of weeks, but life has been nothing short of, well, a bit on the chaotic side! All good things, but busy nonetheless. My wonderful husband has been working crazy amounts of overtime at his job before his… Continue reading Getting used to change
Teething Troubles
Growing all of those teeth is exhausting! 😴 Well, it’s officially begun. The oceans of drool, the low grade fever, the constant chewing on everything she can get her little hands on. My teeny tiny baby isn’t so teeny anymore, and she’s getting those teeth in! The past few weeks its been a race between… Continue reading Teething Troubles
Workin’ Mama
Happy Saturday! This day couldn’t come fast enough for me! Why, you ask? Well, because this past Monday was my first day back to work after spending 4 of the shortest months ever on maternity leave. Monday was, well, rough to say the least. I cried going to bed Sunday night, when I got up… Continue reading Workin’ Mama
The Things They Don’t Tell You About Postpartum Life
It’s been a few days since I have posted, and mostly it was because I was too anxious. Not in the, “I’m too excited or slightly overwhelmed” anxious, that’s talked about lightly. This has been the anxiety that makes it near impossible to leave bed, brush your hair, or complete any normal task. I felt… Continue reading The Things They Don’t Tell You About Postpartum Life
Growing like a weed
Fussiness, excessive hunger, additional bathroom breaks - sounds like me when I was pregnant with Hadley! This lovely set of symptoms, however is not coming from me, but from the teeny tiny version of me! The past week and a half, or so, it’s been seemingly endless feedings, countless diaper changes and So. Many. Tantrums.… Continue reading Growing like a weed
Goodnight, Sleep Tight…
Bedtime routines can be tough! It’s taken 4 months for us to get the “as-close-to-perfect-as-we’re-gonna-get” routine down with Hadley and we’re still tweaking things every single week. The hardest thing about setting a routine is knowing that what works for one baby, might not work for another and how that’s perfectly normal! Another thing we’re… Continue reading Goodnight, Sleep Tight…
And Then There Were Three
When relatives and mom-friends told me the ever popular line, “having a baby changes EVERYTHING”, they weren’t kidding. Sleepless nights, missed meals, more chores, and the emotional mood storms that occur postpartum build up stress in everyone, especially in a marriage. My husband and I are best friends first; we have been since the beginning… Continue reading And Then There Were Three
