At the beginning of this year in a fit of New Year inspiration, I made a wild and diverse list of things I wanted to do in 2012. I was daydreaming, just trying to recapture sides of myself that ...
I became an attachment parenting convert about 10 days after Will was born. Thats when I began calling him my little papoose baby - because he wanted to be close, always. (Side note: I wrote thi...
Will is crying. He is hungry. And I know it. But it takes me a few minutes to get things arranged to feed him and in the meantime his cry escalates. Louder. Grating. "Im here, mamas here," I ...
Funny. Day to day life with a baby has vastly improved. And yet I am blogging less than ever. This might be my new normal for awhile. I have more free time now, but still find myself closely guarding...

Vulnerable. Around the third day we were in the hospital after Will was born, this was the word that came to me. Vulnerable. I felt so bloody vulnerable. So needy. So dependent. And I hated it. Emoti...

There is so so much to say.... I could write a book on the events of the past week, but I dont have the time (yet). My hands are too full with this little boy, my angel baby, who is a week old ...
So, Im 38 weeks, friends. Statistically speaking, there is a 50% chance that baby will arrive by 2 weeks from now and a 75% chance that baby will arrive by 3 weeks from now. In my last post I was afr...

Its March, yall. And Im 36 weeks. That means baby could be here in 2 weeks, or 3, or 4, or heavens help me, 5 weeks. I had thought by this time Id be climbing the walls, bored, anxious, etc. But I st...
It is a Saturday afternoon and I am at my favorite coffee shop, a place I love not so much for its ambiance as convenient location and addictive blended drinks. Today I am missing my Saturday an...

I was reading Katies Pencil Box recently... She is a lovely, multi-facted lady, with a blog much more popular than mine, and happens to be pregnant. Her gentle, short post was musing on somethin...

Theres me. In my favorite stretchy black pants. How Im feeling physically: I have a litany of symptoms that dont make me miserable but contribute to a state of weirdness or discomfort. Pardon the TMI...
