Author: The Informal Matriarch

I’m finding myself lowering down off of my pompous high horse every day. I’m definitely one to hold other parents in contempt for their parenting ideas. I’m finding empathy for things. I’m realizing why people move to bottle feeding. Take away my devotion or knowledge of natural healthy eating and Isaac would have a bottle… Continue reading Humbled

I’m grumpy today.  I was so stoked that Isaac slept all the way until 5am this morning.  Good boy.  But then at 6 he woke up and cried and would nurse for a few seconds and then cry again.  Silas used to do that too.  So frustrating.  Once he was back asleep Silas was up… Continue reading Grumpy

Yesterday I got kind of sad. I was watching Sister Act 1 and 2 during my marathon nursing times. Those movies always make me cry because the music is just amazing in them. Especially the 2nd one. It also got me thinking about my music and how much I miss doing it. I was thinking… Continue reading Music

I’ve really been enjoying connecting to old friends lately on facebook.com you can find tons of people on there. I’ve found so many that I’ve lost connection with. Some I haven’t seen since elementary school, it’s very cool. All of these posts get fed into my facebook profile too so I get a lot of… Continue reading 18 More Days

Goodness I’m sleepy. Isaac was not into sleeping solid until about 12:30 last night. I’d just fall asleep and he’d be crying again. I finally took him out of his swaddle and he seemed happier. Weirdo. Perhaps it was too hot. He just had the worst time nursing, he just kept losing his latch and… Continue reading Bad Sleeping and a Stupid Heatwave

I’m feeling bad for Silas lately.  Even though most days I’m incredibly frustrated with that lad.  I have to tell him no constantly.  I wish more positive things could come from my lips.  It must be hard for him to deal with that.  I wonder if it just escalates because he’s mad because I said… Continue reading No No No No No

Ok so I thought I’d weigh Isaac today and see how much he’s grown.  I just did it by weighing myself first and then picking him up.  HE’S FOURTEEN POUNDS ALREADY!!  Man, my milk is cream.  I was thinking he wouldn’t get to 20 pounds by 4 months like Silas did…no freaking way.  Looks like… Continue reading Fatso

Well I’m proud to say I’ve lost 4 pounds since last Tuesday when I started to eat healthy!  That’s 4 of those 1 pound blocks of butter…that’s a lot if you think about it.  I’m about to consume another massive spinach salad.  I’m loving my salads for lunch, today’s has cukes, orange peppers, grapes, kiwi,… Continue reading Progress

This was all of the fun we had yesterday.  I don’t have much to write about so I thought a bunch of photos would make everyone happy     Thanks Auntie Mel and Uncle Noel for this wonderful romper, Ike looks darling in it.  He peed on it a few minutes later.     This… Continue reading For Your Ocular Enjoyment

Yesterday’s water park adventure was amazing.  We got there and Silas cried while I got him into his Little Swimmers.  He then ran around for only a few minutes in the water and then went onto new adventures like waking up a sun bather with a fright, licking dirt patches in the grass, drinking mud… Continue reading Water Park Fun

My darling Silas decided that 9:15 pm was a good time to sleep last night and that 6:00 am was a grand time to wake up.  His arousal was then accompanied by a massive melt down…and then another…and another.  Luckily he’s napping now and so is Isaac so I have a break.  Isaac woke up… Continue reading New Header

No Thursday 13 today.  I wanted to B LOG!!  I’m glad to have my internet back.  Sorry about my last post.  I was really dehydrated and actually slightly incoherent.  I don’t think I’m feeling any effects of the BC I’ve found a way to nurse Ike while typing.  I don’t use the pull out tray… Continue reading Back Online!
