Making It Work

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 [...]

Trust Me, Screwdrivers Belong In The Bedroom

November 4, 2011

When Nathan was a baby, he didn’t have any toys. He did, though, have a bear that made heartbeat sounds and a bassinet that could vibrate. Both of those used batteries (duh) and needed a screwdriver to open the hatch to put new ones in. When I needed to replace the batteries, I’d get the [...]

Why We Don’t Have Family Photos

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 [...]

I Can’t Live Without My . . . Ring Sling!

October 26, 2011

** Baby life has come with a great many gadgets, some of which have been awesome and some of which have been awful. My plan is to share my experiences with various items as they happen, but since I’ve already admitted that sometimes my plans fall through, we’ll see how it all works out At [...]
