Today is Day 14 of sleep deprivation. 14 consecutive days of waking up every 3 hours (or as close to that as possible) nightly to feed little E. Some days it’s all I can do to pry myself out of bed without hitting the snooze on my phone alarm like 10 times, wake up the little… Continue reading About a newborn – Day 14
I’ve been wanting so badly to get on here and post about so many different things that have happened, but just when I’m about to, something comes up. Or I want to write but at the moment rest and sneaking in sleep time are top priority. Our newest little family member has arrived! A week… Continue reading Welcome home little one
What happens when you mix a traditional celebration of eating Rosca de Reyes, a fruit cake traditionally eaten on Jan. 6 known as Three Kings Day or Epiphany, and then add a surprise twist to it? You get overcome with joy and thankfulness!! But you have to read on to find out how… Most of… Continue reading A Surprise Twist!
This is probably one of the most unrestful nights I’ve had – although I’m sure more will follow that will make this one look pretty darn good in comparison. Today is the start of my 36th week of pregnancy. I went to bed at 10:30pm and then was awakened by discomfort and a full bladder… Continue reading Restless in Santa Ana
Don’t let all this cuteness deceive you. If any of you are familiar with the bulldog breed you know that they tend to go to the beat of their own desire and are stubborn as hell. Ours is no exception. He is like the eternal two year old – all about him. Biggie is an… Continue reading Thunder Leash what have you done to our bulldog?
Because being 8 months pregnant and having crazy sniffles and watering eyes is not already enough to keep one awake at night, lets add the element of a toddler too. I shouldn’t complain, generally Celeste is a great sleeper. She’ll be asleep before 9:30pm and wakes up anywhere between 6:30a – 7:45am. Last night though… Continue reading Remembering the sleepless nights
“Mommy, I have an idea. My idea is I want to be naked and then papa and I can play” I have an idea is our 3 year old’s newest phrase. Her eyes light up and she gets a huge smile when she says “I have an idea” and I can tell she’s so pleased… Continue reading I have an idea!
By 9:00am this morning I was pretty much over the day. It was one of those overwhelming, emotional, tear filled kind of mornings triggered by juggling a potty training toddler with a mind of her own, a stubborn bulldog (that needed to be walked), and myself – an 8 month pregnant woman. Plus making sure all… Continue reading When a difficult day ends really darn well
Our daughter is a pretty good sleeper. On a normal day she’s in bed by 8:45p and then wakes up the following day around 7:20a, not bad right? Every once in awhile though she likes to wake up somewhere in the 4am vicinity and does so in such great spirits that you would swear it’s… Continue reading The 4:00 a.m. Mommy Alarm
This is how I often feel, especially since becoming a mother, and especially now that I’m sitting here staring at the blank open space figuring out what I’m going to write. For those of you that have been following my blog for some time (thank you!!), you’ve noticed that I have gone a bit MIA in my posts,… Continue reading A little refresher
