This morn­ing I got a mes­sage from my mother.  My Grand­mother, her Mom, passed away last night.  She hadn’t been in good health, she was being taken care of by machines, she had lost much of her mem­ory.  This doesn’t make it eas­ier, it does give me com­fort to know she is bet­ter now and […]

Yes­ter­day was a fussy fussy day.  I think it had to do with some really tasty soup I ate, I’ll be research­ing that later.  How­ever, the lit­tle bug­ger and I got through it with the help of some very sweet fam­ily.
Aunt Chelsea and Uncle Matt came by to relieve me while Sher­man was at karate.

My wed­ding ring is still to tight.  I haven’t been able to wear it since June.  It just makes me a bit sad.  I want to wear it, it’s impor­tant to me.  I see Sher­mans on him and I miss mine more.  It goes on but just isn’t com­fort­able, espe­cially in the heat. 
Sher­man tells me […]

I’m sure I’ll get used to it but this breast pump makes me feel a bit like I should be in a stall at the fair…
I know I will appre­ci­ate the free­dom later…but now…hmmm.…Moooooooo.….

There are many times when Ijah has fallen asleep in my arms.  He is way too sweet and comfy to move, or we don’t want to wake him.  If he’s con­tent I leave him be for the time being.  This has been the case a few times when Sher­man and I are on the couch […]

I know this has kind of become a “Mom” blog.  Give me a break, it’s only been two weeks.  I’ll get back to the obser­va­tions on daily life and rants about stu­pid super mod­els later, right now though, even though I swore to myself I wouldn’t do it.…a poop story.…I’ll make it quick.
Somehow…my less than 8 […]

Pump…take a nap…
Those were the only things on the list today.  Now in the back of my mind there was also “don’t have an emo­tional break­down if he is cry­ing”, and “try to unpack from the farm”. 
Goal num­ber one, par­tially accom­plished this morn­ing.  Goal num­ber two, a glo­ri­ous two hours mid­day. 
Some peo­ples babies may sleep […]

Tonight is the two week anniver­sary of the best lasagna I’ve ever eaten.  After being in the hos­pi­tal for an induc­tion with no food, only hard candy, from 8am to right around now 9pm, Sherry went to Davan­nis to get us all din­ner.  I do believe it might be the best meal I have ever […]

So what do you NOT do when you had a baby less than two weeks ago…TRY TO PUT ON YOUR OLD PANTS!  And here I was hop­ing that breast­feed­ing actu­ally vac­u­umed the extra fat off your body…
Poo.

Life isnt so hard when this is one of the ways he stops crying…
