Well since it’s father’s day I thought I’d write a little something about my father figure.  My step-dad Mark (or Marky-Poo for short) is quite possibly the most generous person I know.  He became my step-dad when I was 12 and he fought through me deciding to hate him for an entire year.  I soon… Continue reading Ode to Marky Poo

Isaac has sensitive skin, I’ve never dealt with sensitive skin.  My skin is like leather when it comes to being tough, I’ve never had acne or rashes (one rash) or anything bad.  It’s not oily just a tidbit dry.  I don’t know how to deal with this, I don’t know what to do.  He’s getting… Continue reading Sensitive Boys

Well Silas has officially graduated to pj’s instead of sleepers.  The 24 month sleepers are much to small, his toe poked through all the feet.  Dangit that stage went fast, and it was dreadfully cute.  I guess bright yellow Joe Boxer Pj’s are cute too.  Especially when he’s wearing them while eating some unidentified object… Continue reading Graduation

So, after one has a baby and is starting to heal one needs to think again about contraceptive methods. Birth control pills suck. My adversion to them has gotten me pregnant twice already. They make me fat and cranky but I’ve come to realize that being pregnant makes me fat and cranky also. I got… Continue reading I Need Your Opinion

Not much to say today.  Ike’s bum is almost healed.  Funny how it did better without the uber expensive prescription crap.  I shouldn’t have wasted 30 bucks, grrrrrr. MIL and I went for a walk today and got caught in the rain, it was slightly exciting.  I woke up with anxiety but that’s all passed… Continue reading Healed Bum

I see my ankles now, it’s beautiful. All my water weight is off I think and I can see how beautifully slender my darling ankles are. That’s one of my favorite parts of having a baby. I’m also enjoying the ability to pee like a normal person. The pee just comes right out!! I don’t… Continue reading Pretty Ankles

Well Ike did NOT sleep well last night.  I’m not pleased.  He just didn’t want to be put down so I made up my mind that there will be no more holding him while he sleeps during the day.  He can’t get used to that!  It’s hard because it’s nice to cuddle the little rascal… Continue reading Blah Blah Blah

I fell asleep praying last night that I would be feeling more blissful and happy about this whole new baby thing.  I woke up feeling a lot better.  I’m feeling a lot more normal and social and in love with my little Isaac.  Thank God!  I always forget to pray about things, it seems to… Continue reading I Can’t Come up With a Title This Time…

I’m not sure if I just really mainly dis-like the newborn stage or if it’s just hormones.  I was thinking it took me a long time to love my child but I kind of don’t feel warm towards anyone I’ve noticed.  I think I’m just dealing with hormones.  I hate this though, I hate feeling… Continue reading Stupid Hormonal Feelings.

I’m having trouble with the thought of moving twice in the next two months.  This is going to really suck.  We’re going to stay in an apartment of a friends, he’ll stay with his girlfriend for the month of July so we can live at his house.  I’m selfishly dreading there being no washing machine… Continue reading Alone Today

*sigh* Another day another blog.  I wonder if I’ll ever get tired of this?  Isaac had his one week check up today and he’s already 8 pounds 9 ounces!!  He was 8 pounds at birth then only lost 2 ounces so in the last week he’s gained 11 ounces, that’s nuts.  Silas got big really… Continue reading Piggy Baby

Feeling better today.  Isaac slept ok last night which I was thankful for.  He went down twice without me having to hold him to go to sleep.  That’s so important to me this time because I don’t want to have to rock my baby back to sleep at night.  I may as well get him… Continue reading Better

I don’t feel like blogging today so I’m not gunna.
