Today, after E awoke from his afternoon nap, we were having some quiet time in the rocking chair. (Well, secretly Mommy was hoping he might go back to sleep, but no dice.) Then he leaned forward and declared, clear as anything, “My umbrella.” I figure he was referring to the way his naps are like…

BAM Baby Stuff Reviews – Nursing
Here’s the nursing gear that works for us (and some that doesn’t), in case you’d like to know: “My Brest Friend” nursing pillow. It is firm, sculpted foam, flat on top but for two bumps for baby’s head, with a removable slip-cover, and an adjustable clip for your waist. We LOVE it. (Even Daddy uses…
Woo hoo!
Yes!! I STAVED IT OFF, folks. I’m officially gonna bite the bullet and say I am awesome, and have the super-wicked immune system of Wonder Woman. (Whose first name, it must not be forgotten, was also Dilovely.) I kick norovirus keester! (Kiester?) Things are pretty much back to normal here, thank goodness. Let’s celebrate with…
Ominous Waiting
It’s like having a tornado heading your way. It looks bad – it’s touching down and hitting other folks – doesn’t stay long but wreaks havoc – it could hit me any time and it wouldn’t be pretty! – or it might just blow over. Every person in my house but me (that’s only three,…
Yay for Lactation!
I took E to the doctor’s office today, just to be on the safe side, since he’s apparently not “over” whatever this is. The nurse practitioner, who was great, was very reassuring without belittling the new-parent worries. It was true, as she pointed out, he didn’t look very sick. (He’d just been flirting outrageously with…
Spring
What a beautiful day! Strangely. Last night was the most sleepless I’ve been since becoming a mom. That is to say, I was so (unintentionally) on alert for every sound in case E was getting sick again (which he was, at around ten to three in the morning, and again at 3:30 but with nothing…
Kudos to you, single parents.
Baby is sick today. There’s been copious evidence coming out both his ends, starting at pre-dawn… sheets changed, baby’s clothes changed, mama’s clothes changed, plenty of other laundry, an extra bath… several short naps, some eating, some dozy awake time, some serious (but highly successful!) potty time, and even some periods where he seemed totally…
Adventures in Surgery
On Monday, I had my surgery: removal of what was apparently a benign giant cell tumor on my left middle finger. It was a fabulous adventure, let me tell you. On the way to the hospital, with my poor mom driving, we fell into a Twilight-Zonesque dream where you first can’t seem to find the…
33 Years Old, and Nine Months Old – and one day.
Happy Birthday, beloved husband! Happy nine months and one day, best baby ever! Here are some terrible “poems” for you (and please remember, I love you way more than these cheesy rhymes can express): He has eyes like the sea after a storm, He is the expert in the field of Snuggles, He keeps my…
First Official Post in the NEW BLOG!!
That totally called for two exclamation points, don’t try to tell me different. Here we are! It’s dilovely, isn’t it? ????? I’d like to introduce you to my new blog. It’s running on an installation of WordPress, so that a non-web-savvy “Normal Gal” like me can still function within it. It’s hosted by Host Papa,…
