I still love coming home to my Daddy Daycare Report. Of course, I usually know about the big things that are on it – like if Aria has a bit of blood in her diaper (due to her explosive pooping, she frequently gets anal fissures – ooooh anal fissures – sexy) or if she almost […]
Today was one of the rare days where I’m home alone with Aria. Every semester, The Hubs seems to have a huge in flow of other grad students needing a tutor for their statistics courses. Since he’s like the statistics super genius, it means a lot of Saturdays he’s tutoring. Sucky for family time, but […]
I thought pumping at work was going to be a breeze. I was oh so naive. When I left on maternity leave, I shared an office. Here’s the thing about my agency. We don’t have enough office space. Everyone other than the Directors and select managers has to share an office – some have three […]
As I mentioned last week, The Hubs started a new daily routine of documenting his days with his favourite little ginger. His purpose in this venture was to analyze her routine and find the hidden statistical data…umm okay. I think he just likes to have an excuse to type “breast” and “poop” without being made […]
** Disclaimer – I started writing this post back at the beginning of August when it was Breastfeeding Awareness Month. After weeks and weeks and weeks of second guessing how I was writing things (I didn’t want to offend forumla/bottle feeding mommas) I realized that I have such strong positive feelings about breastfeeding, and I […]
I dreaded going back to work. I figured out very early in my maternity leave that I wasn’t cut out to be a stay at home parent. Still, I spent 12 weeks dreading the end of maternity leave. I loved every second of spending time with my girl – and was worried about going back. […]
I’ve mentioned in passing before that The Hubs is staying home with Ariadne. He’s a Pseudo Stay at Home Dad. Pseudo, as in, he works when he can (from home) but he is our solution to two people who very much wanted to avoid daycare. I’ll say right away that daycare was the big […]
Didn’t I JUST do one of these, like last week? Another month flown by. This last month has been pretty amazing. Ariadne is growing and learning so much lately. She seems to be a totally new and exciting person every day. At 3 months old, Aria – Loves Standing Sitting (but not as much as […]
This summer has been hot. Let’s be real, Arizonans – this summer has been blistering. But that’s not all. This summer has also been so very full of love. At least in our house. For the last three months, I’ve been home with my two favourite people. I’ve been on maternity leave, and tomorrow that is […]
When I was pregnant I loved to read Baby Essentials Lists. You know, what other parents think were the absolute must haves of raising their tots? Truthfully, I read them to get an idea of parenting styles, not really to get ideas for things to buy. If I saw lots and lots of activity things […]
