Ember is 2 months old today! She’s over 9lbs and I’ve officially put away her Newborn clothes. She’s alert and really enjoys her play mat and is working hard on her tummy time. She has some BIG fans here at the house. Anytime she cries, Penny comes meowing at me as if to say “somebody… Read More 2 Months Old
Here we go again with this ridiculous shit – Ember is 8 weeks old today but won’t be hitting two months til the 12th next week. I continue to boycott the “weeks old” world. She’s almost two months old. People told me my newborn would “wake up” meaning she’d have more time to interact after… Read More 8 Weeks Is Not Two Months
I look back on the week and think “eh, nothing interesting really happened.” But in reality, Ember and I are settling into our New Normal. Most days, we are up at 2 or 3 briefly to eat, pump, and change a diaper while hanging out with the cats. Then we’re back to bed until 5… Read More 7 Weeks – The New Normal & Balance
Ember and I are moving right along. She gets bigger every day, things change quickly. Things that “fixed” her upset the day before no longer work the next day and a whole new adventure starts. I find myself theorizing on Why Baby Does Things and What To Do on a daily basis, to the likely… Read More Six weeks (I think?)
I’m not going to keep up with how many weeks old this tiny baby is. People do that thing where you ask how old their kid is and they go “oh she’s 58 weeks old.” Being pregnant and trying to deal with week/month math was hard enough to deal with. Ember is now at least… Read More 1 Month-Ish
Ember went for her One Month Check-up today with Dr Katie and everything looks great. Mommy, on the other hand, has been dealing with a fever for 4 days and a mild case of mastitis – luckily it hasn’t been too bad, but it’s added to the tired, sore, hot/cold life I was already living. … Read More One Month Check-up
Taking photos of babies is complicated. Choosing the one you like best is even worse. Here are some of the outtakes from our One Month attempt. Baby pants seem to be unflattering on all babies. Next time I’ll choose better.
Today Ember is one month old. All those things people say are true: she’s already so different than she was when we came home. We both are I guess – I’ve stopped writing down every time she eats and every diaper change, which was something we had to do in the beginning since she wasn’t… Read More May 12th, One Month Old
A Thing That I Am Bad At is being patient. This has probably always been true for me, but as I’ve gotten older and a little more realistically introspective, it’s definitely been identified as something I need to work on. Lucky for me, I have a tiny perfect baby to help me work on it.… Read More Patience – A Barfy Baby Story
I got Ember’s birth announcement cards in the mail today. Sadly I had to order a very limited amount, so I’m sharing here for those who won’t receive them in the mail.
