The biggest lessons I've learned

Posted Wednesday, December 31, 2008 11:16 AM

About parenthood... What works one night will inevitably never work another night. About relationships... Being in love with someone doesn't mean you don't need reminding what you actually like about that person. About family... Some family you're better

I'm not going to lie...

Posted Monday, December 29, 2008 2:03 PM

I know it was our first Christmas as a family. I know I should be so grateful for everything we have - and I am I swear! That said, even though Christmas with a baby is super awesome, I think this was the worst Christmas I've had in a very long time.

I just want some flipping sleep!

Posted Monday, December 29, 2008 12:33 PM

What, is it a rule that when a baby turns 5 months old he/she is suddenly above sleeping? Boston will not go to sleep for the night. Well I take that back...he will go to sleep at a normal time, but then he wakes up about 1-2 hours into his sleep and

Hanging out, College-style

Posted Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:06 AM

"What do you think about her?" my mom asked me. "I think she's 19." So we met THE GIRL. She's cute, she's nice enough. She is thin and very athletic. She held Boston and didn't freak out when he drolled all over her fancy black shirt. However, SHE'S ONLY

Oh how I've changed

Posted Tuesday, December 16, 2008 9:45 AM

2007: I never had enough time to myself. 2008: There isn't enough time in the day to allow for how much I want to just stare at my baby. 2007: I was never getting enough sleep. 2008: I had no idea what "not getting enough sleep" meant until I really never

Let me make myself clear

Posted Friday, December 12, 2008 2:42 PM

My cousin and I are very close, but lately we haven't been able to find a common ground when we hang out, it just seems awkward. Well now I know why. I'm a grown up and she's not. I'm 30 and have a baby and have been working full-time for more years than

Defeated

Posted Thursday, December 11, 2008 4:31 PM

I weighed myself this morning and was down to 143 pounds! I got super excited so I went into the storage room and pulled out a pair of work pants from my pre-pregnancy stash. Since the pants were really big before and I'm just 10 pounds over right now,

Boston, meet Santa

He asked for wipes that are warm when they touch his bottom, breastmilk on demand, and lots more NOG/N time.

Cautious, Mischievous, or just plain Wrong?

Posted Thursday, December 04, 2008 2:03 PM

So my sister, here's a back story. Pregnant at 19, married the father when their son was 3 months old. Divorced one year later. One year after that, became engaged to a man, then found out she was pregnant again. After seven years of marriage and 3 children

In response to you joking that you probably won't even be able to walk at 35 weeks... If she could stand and walk with 6 babies in her, you'll be able to do it with 2...although it will still be hilarious to watch you try! Please post videos as you get

There's no crying at Talladega

Posted Wednesday, December 03, 2008 12:42 PM

What in the flipping hell is wrong with me? I just watched the end of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (gotta love watching movies during pumping sessions at work) ... and I CRIED! I actually cried. Lord my roller coaster of emotions has no

3.5 hours

Posted Tuesday, December 02, 2008 9:51 AM

Not 3.5 hours of sex. Not 3.5 hours shopping. Not 3.5 hours watching a good movie or TV series. Nope, 3.5 hours of sleep, that's all I got last night. I put Boston to bed around 11, kind of late but we had company. Around midnight, Chris RETARDEDLY opened

Time to recover

Posted Monday, December 01, 2008 11:40 AM

I'm the epitome of "Four Christmases" - I haven't seen the movie but we have four sets of families to visit over the holidays since both our parents are divorced (and none, unfortunately, are remarried). Thankfully this year (and this is sad to say) my
