Copious amounts of cute

March 30, 2011

There are few things I love more in the world than good pictures.  And good pictures of my family… photos that capture that moment, the one right there that you want to hold onto for a lifetime, are at the top of my list.  Even beating out nice shoes and handbags.  When Cole was 11 [...]

18 months of baby

March 28, 2011

Chessa turns 18 months this week. 18 months ago they laid her screaming body in my arms and I kissed her sweet, just born face. 18 months ago we brought her home.  She was this tiny thing that couldn’t lift her head, would barely eat and cried for a few hours every evening. 18 months [...]

These days….

March 23, 2011

These days are full of snuggles with the wee babe.  Feeling his breath against my neck as I pat his back hoping to coax out a burp. These days are spent cupping his head in my clasped hands and looking into his deep blue eyes.  He stares at me so intently and looks so serious [...]

Turning the proverbial corner: C-section recovery

March 21, 2011

This weekend I decided that people were trying to help me too much.  I suppose that means I’m either an ungrateful snot or I’m starting to feel better, right?  I do feel more like myself and human again, for the most part.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not about to go running any marathons.  Hell, I’m not even sure [...]

If this is as bad as it gets, I suppose I shouldn’t complain

March 16, 2011

My toddler won’t sleep and my newborn won’t poop.  Yep, I’m going there.  I’m talking about poop.  Or lack thereof.  My poor little guy went from dirtying a diaper with nearly every bottle to not going at all for more than an entire day.  He grunts and groans like a mad man, pulling his little [...]

The sleepy newborn days

March 15, 2011

Ah… these first few days at home.  Cole has been sleeping away the days, and most of the nights, since we came home from the hospital on Thursday.   He is so much like his big sister in some ways that the memories of her newborn days come flooding back to me.  The way he sleeps [...]

Daddy’s Girl

March 14, 2011

It was a moment that I tried hard to commit to memory as it was happening.  I didn’t want to be in the room and be part of it or take away from the sweetness of it; but I needed to be there to see it, to feel it and to put it in that [...]

Cole’s birth story

March 9, 2011

I’m not sure how to tell his story in a way that is either witty or sentimental.  In many ways Cole’s birth story starts about six weeks ago with a call to the neurologist that tells me there’s a little something weird going on in my head and I need to have c-section.  The next [...]

Meet our family

March 8, 2011

When I started this blog, I wasn’t sure how much information to share with the internet.  Although I was talking about my lady bits, my wins and losses as a parent and wife and sometimes my job, I was afraid to share my child’s name, so she became “C.”  There was never really a reason [...]
