Claire woke up no less than nine times last night. Each time with an agonizing scream that pierced my heart. Needless to say, I got very, very little sleep. I decided to take her to the doctor this morning in order to ensure that there was nothing physically wrong with her. I was particularly concerned […]
I am no longer on bedrest. I still need to take it easy (ie, no heavy lifting, getting as much rest as possible, etc) until my next OB appt in two weeks — when hopefully we will find out BebeDeux’s gender! — but I am no longer confined to the bed. Thank you all for […]
I have a confession to make. Before I became a mother, I used to look down on SAHMs with housekeepers and/or nannies. “You stay at home all day,” I thought to myself. “Can’t you clean when the baby’s sleeping? And why would you need help raising a kid?” This, like many other pre-conceived notions of […]
J and I are both sick. I only slept two hours last night from raging migraines (years down the road, I think I may remember this pregnancy as “the eternal headache”), dizziness, and nausea. J seems to be coming down with a cold. We have been taking turns napping while the other watches Claire. I […]
I just had a mommy breakdown. J was about to leave for work when I burst into tears. He decided to work from home this morning and ordered to go get some rest. But how could I, when I am surrounded by a thick fog of guilt? How could I, when there are dishes to […]
I once read that a baby will cry hardest to her mother (or the primary caretaker) because, just like adults, babies reserve their most passionate and deepest emotions for those they love most. Our household is a perfect example of this. When Claire is around me, she WILL make it known if she is displeased […]
My little girl turns six months old today! On one hand, I can’t believe that it’s already been half a year since she entered our lives. On the other, I can’t wait for what’s to come. I’m eagerly awaiting her first steps and first word. I’m even looking forward to the teenage years, if you […]
I wish my daughter was one of those babies that can sleep anywhere. I wish she were a naturally good sleeper. But she is neither of those things, as she is a highly sensitive child who is always so transfixed by the world around her that she needs to be in a dark, quiet room […]
Did my daughter know that I had posted an unflattering picture of her last night? Perhaps she sensed my worry at having voiced my concern online? BECAUSE GIRLFRIEND FINALLY ROLLED TODAY! And not just once but twice. During different tummy times. So I know it wasn’t just a fluke. She still doesn’t like it. Both […]
I know that I said I would not worry about my daughter meeting her milestones on time, but I cannot help but be a teensy bit concerned that she is nearing six months of age and has not rolled over once. She actually quite enjoys the first 5-10 minutes of each tummy time. She looks […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
