Oh, What A Night!

July 8, 2011

I was up every few hours last night with Nathan, and it was just one of those epic disasters of a night. Everything that could go wrong, did go wrong, and I’m about out of clean clothes now. And I thought, “Hey, at least this could make for an interesting and laughable blog post!” and [...]

Bottlefed, Breastfed, And Now, A THIRD Option! Bottled Breasts!

June 28, 2011

There are a lot of things I found odd or interesting about pregnancy, but one of the biggest surprises to me was that at some point during my childhood, the gestation of a baby changed from 9 months to 40 weeks. (It’s probably just semantics and based on when you start counting the weeks, but [...]

Nathan’s (Obligatory) Birth Post

June 18, 2011

Nathan’s birth (just like my pregnancy) was a string of constant surprises and left turns and being blindsided by what I wasn’t prepared for, and overly prepared for things that never happened. There was surprise, and intrigue, and also bodily fluids (which I’ve tried to keep to a minimum, but was inevitable. If you’re squeamish, [...]

(I have been trying for weeks to type up the story of Nathan’s birth, but I just don’t have TIME! It’s like I have an infant expecting me to be at their beck and call or something . . . sheesh! So this will be the short version. I’ll type up the long version eventually. [...]

Everyone loves seeing how gigantic pregnant women get, and I’ve gotten LOTS of requests for photos of my baby bump, but I have never been more averse to having my picture taken than I have during all of this (I blame it on trying to grow my hair out, refusing to buy any new clothing [...]

In the span of about a week, I went from, “Hmm, my pants are hard to button,” to, “Wow, I can’t button my pants at all (unless I’m prepared to give up breathing, which I’m kind of fond of),” to “Holy crap, I can hardly zip these things up half way!” (Today I finally caved [...]

A Potato . . . Tree?

June 18, 2010

A few months ago we had an empty planter box, bad weather, and a potato that was too sprouted and yucky to do anything good with. So I figured, what the heck, why not combine it all and see what I get! I read up a little bit on growing potatoes (and learned that you’re [...]

Attack Of The (Killer) Bumblebees!

June 4, 2010

Anyone who knows me (or has even SEEN me outside at just the right moment to really make a fool of myself!) knows how I feel about bees – I’m TERRIFIED of them! I’m braver now than I used to be, but I still run like a maniac anytime they are near. This past weekend [...]

A Child Friendly Explanation of Autism

May 23, 2010

I work with kids with autism, and describing what I do on a day to day basis can be tough to explain to people. I usually end up listing the diagnostic criteria and just saying that we work on correcting those deficits and excesses. The hardest thing, though, is trying to explain to other kids [...]
