There’s just something about a big (ish) tough aviator with a pink-clad baby girl strapped to his chest… …a sweet pupper, curled up on her pillow… …and a baby girl who still holds on tightly. I love my beautiful, sweet family.

#AmazonFail Scandal–What’s Your Take?
Oy, where to start…? First of all, let’s start here. I’ve had barely any wine for the last year, and tonight I had about 6 oz and I’m TIPSY. I wouldn’t normally blog in this state, but as I said before, it’s NaBloPoMo and I’m trying to post every day. I don’t have something “saved…
Anneliese is Three Months Old
Happy 3 months to my little girl! This is an exciting milestone, the end of the “fourth trimester.” My baby isn’t a fetus-on-the-outside anymore. She’s a separate person (who still needs me of course). She goes for longer periods of time between nursing these days, unless it’s a clusterfeeding-growth-spurty day. She’s also starting to be…
My Craft Mojo is Back
When I was pregnant, I felt like poo and didn’t want to do much of anything. Cooking, cleaning, crafting, anything. Now that this baby is OUT (and awesome by the way) I have renewed energy and motivation. And an excuse to craft. An excuse to craft a lot of things. You’ve seen some of the…
My Dad’s Visit
A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about the carousel of company we’d been having (my mom, one of my sisters, and my father-in-law). A few days after that post, my dad came to visit.It was a really nice, low-key visit, and lucky for him (and us) we had figured out how to use the…
Growing Like a Weed – Grasping and Flipping
How is my little girl growing so quickly? I don’t understand! Just a few days ago, for the first time, she reached out and grabbed a toy from me. Before that, she had been able to hold toys that I carefully placed in her hand, but this time, she grasped it on her own! She’s…
A Carousel of Company!
I asked my facebook buddies if I should write up a recipe, family post, or gDiaper post next. They asked me for a family update, so here it is! (Thanks, awesome facebook friends!) First, my mother visited. She was here for several days, and we got to do some fun stuff. We went to the…
2 Months Old!
Hubs says “Lord, Have Mercy. Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On.” This month, all sorts of exciting things have happened. Our girl has grown in length and weight, and is in the 80th percentile for both. Her doctor said she’s, “very proportionate.” She also said “perfect” lots of times. Which I’m sure meant, “perfect –…
Daddy Daughter Reunion
My sweet guy came back from two and a half weeks of training in Florida yesterday. I was very excited to have him back, of course, and I loved seeing him reunite with our little girl. Two weeks isn’t very long to me, but to Anneliese, it was a third of her life! I dressed…
One Month: The Good Stuff and The Hard Stuff
Today, my sweet baby is one month old. She’s gone from a squishy-faced newborn to a real baby, but I know she’s still in the “fourth trimester” and very new to the world. On one hand, it feels like she was born just yesterday, but on the other, it feels like she’s been here forever….
Anneliese’s Birth Story
I just have to start writing… but there is something so intimidating about a blank white fresh text field when I have such an Important Subject to record. Especially when I don’t really consider myself to be much of a writer. I don’t even like writing that much! Who knows why I love to blog?…
Welcome, Anneliese Claire!
After 42 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy, and a lot of patience, Anneliese Claire was born! And let me tell you… if you’re pregnant and want to go into labor, I figured it out. It’s not walking, sex, castor oil, or spicy food. It isn’t eggplant, acupressure, a special pizza, pineapples, or bouncing on…
