My “No Surgery In 2012!” Slogan Lasted Less Than A Month (Yet Another Glasses Update)

February 1, 2012

Picking up where I left off in my last post (where I mentioned that Nathan was going to start wearing an eye patch for an hour a day), we returned to the eye doctor after 6 weeks of patching to evaluate his progress. While the doctor saw some vaguely positive results (if she covered up [...]

Healthcare Costs Are EXPENSIVE!

January 31, 2012

This post brought to you by Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine. This last year was a hospital-heavy one for my family. Between pregnancy, Nathan’s birth and subsequent NICU stay, his ongoing vision problems, and then my appendectomy . . . I’ve never had such a profound sense of gratitude for our health insurance!

January 30, 2012

I like to be PREPARED for things. I do research. I read books. I make lists. I plan. But here is what pregnancy has taught me – research, lists, and plans BE DAMNED! Your body will darned well do whatever it feels like whenever it feels like, regardless of what the books, your friends, or [...]

What Else Do You Want To Know About Infant Glasses?

January 16, 2012

I realized that I’ve been getting a lot of traffic from people looking for information about infant glasses. I didn’t think I had a corner on that market, so maybe nobody else is talking about it?

Moving Is Like Eating Pasta

December 2, 2011

First of all, I doubt anyone even noticed, but I went from blogging regularly 3 times a week to . . . pretty much not blogging at all again. What can I say? Life got busy (SO BUSY! SO much has happened this month! We traveled! We met new family members! Nathan learned to crawl [...]

Having A Baby Means Never Peeing In Private

November 25, 2011

Reader beware – this may verge on TMI for some people. I happen to think it’s pretty funny, though, so use your best judgement! If you were modest to begin with, you lose the right to be so during most of pregnancy and childbirth. I think most people know to expect that. What most [...]

We’ve (Technically, Mostly) Moved!

November 23, 2011

We’ve had an INSANELY BUSY few weeks (We were out of town! We had family in town! I was sick! Nathan started learning to pull up on things and bonked his head a lot! We had to pack! And move! And unpack! And clean! And then repeat multiple times!) so I apologize for my temporary [...]

What’s On Your Fridge?

November 10, 2011

I saw a bunch of people participating in a link-up showing what is on their fridge and what it shows about them, and thought I’d participate! So, here is my fridge! (Totally untouched-up for the photo!) As you can see, I’m a big fan of magnets. My favorite wedding “Save The Dates” are magnet ones [...]
