Being a mom is complicated. Well, it is for me. Baby has been screaming again after feedings, but not all of them. At my wit’s end today, I got a suggestion that it’s entirely possible that the COMPLETE TRASH food I’ve been eating is upsetting kiddo’s tummy. Me? Trash? Pizza? Sushi? Spicy tacos? Well…. Yes,… Read More Trial and Error and Error
Today Ember turned 3 weeks old. Her original due date was yesterday, May 2nd. I can’t imagine still having been pregnant with this tiny person this long. I still marvel at the fact that she was IN there the whole time – as usual, it’s all very “surreal” and/or weird and/or unbelievable. She’s doing great… Read More 3 Weeks
Last night went very well as compared to Fussy Baby the night before. Ember was up every two hours to eat, which was a little bit tiring since she’s usually on a three hour rotation, but if it means she’s eating more, I’m all for it. It turns out I was pretty tired by the… Read More It Takes a Village
My good friend Katie Taylor came back up to the house last week to take photos of kiddo and they are amazing. We went on our first walk outside today with the stroller and had a blast with my Aunt, Mimi to the kids. She’s been here most of the week and we’ve had such… Read More 2 Week Photos
Today Ember is 2 weeks old, which means we all packed up and had a big adventure to see the doctor – everyone had an appointment. The big weigh in was great news – she’s not only back up to birth weight (6lbs), she’s above it! Weighing in at 6lbs 4oz, Ember got rave reviews… Read More 2 Weeks Old
Sunday marks the end of our first full weekend home. Gigi has moved out all of her stuff from staying this week and it’s a little sad to see her go. Not just because it means we’re on our own (sort of), but because the time we were able to spend together was so much… Read More Weekend & Breast Feeding
Today Ember had a big day. After much general annoyance, I decided it was time to get a new phone (Jesse, you were right, I needed a better camera to take important baby photos among other things). Luckily, I have a friend who works at Verizon (let me know if you need his contact info… Read More Friday
Today Ember took her first real bath. She enjoyed almost all of it!
Today Ember is one week old. One week ago everything in the world changed for the better and I couldn’t be happier. I’ve gotten enough sleep lately to allow for logical thought processes as well as general sanity. I don’t burst into tears every time I look at her anymore, which is a little more… Read More One Week Old
Ember went to see Dr Katie today for the first time and had her second car ride. I TOTALLY forgot to call and make a 2 day post-hospital release appointment, so when we got up this morning, I called at 8:30. Gigi had taken the night shift and I was seriously hoping I could let… Read More Doctor Approved
