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 [...]

Life Is Good

January 12, 2012

It’s been a hectic few months, but things are great! We went home for the holidays, saw a lot of family, and now we are all back at home and settling into a new routine. Other than Nathan’s turning 1 in a month (good HEAVENS that went by quickly!) I’m looking forward to a few [...]

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 [...]

November 2, 2011

When I set up the Tumblr account for pictures of our family, J said, “Why did you put a picture of just you and I on there? Why didn’t you use one of the three of us?” To which I replied, “BECAUSE I’M THE ONLY PERSON WHO EVER TAKES PHOTOS, SO THERE AREN’T ANY WITH [...]

Hold On To Your Hats, We’ve Achieved Mobility!

October 23, 2011

Early last week, Nathan (my usually perfect sleeper) stopped sleeping perfectly. He’d scream and scream when you tried to put him to bed, and he started waking up in the middle of the night screaming as though he was being hurt. I went through everything I could think of that could be causing it (teething? [...]

Ahoy! My Baby Is A Pirate! (Another Glasses Update)

October 21, 2011

Nathan had his third appointment with the eye doctor, and my suspicions were again confirmed – the glasses continue to help, but still haven’t completely solved his problems (in whatever unit they use to measure the crossedness of eyes, his eyes were a 30 without glasses, a 12 after the first pair of glasses, and [...]

Frequently Asked Questions About Infant Glasses

October 19, 2011

When Nathan was first born, every time we took him in public we were accosted by people saying, “Oh my goodness, he’s so TINY!” Once he had his massive growth spurt, every time we took him in public someone was bound to ask how old he was and then say, “Wow, he’s huge!” These days, [...]

Blogging (And Other 9 Month Long Projects)

October 17, 2011

When I started blogging in this space, I had really grand plans for it. Then I got pregnant, and all of my good intentions were completely wiped out by the fact that I felt like I was mentally and physically fighting through quicksand (I did FAR less running and writing after I quit working than [...]
