I Think I’m Addicted

It hit me today while talking to my friend. There’s just no other way to explain it…I’m addicted.
So I’ve been “working” to end rocking Zack. But, well, it’s not going very well. Sometimes its just easier to rock him to sleep then sit in his room against the crib while he tosses and turns and [...]

Almost a Year!

A week from today Zack will be one! I can’t believe it. Where has the time gone?!

The other day he surprised me. I wear headbands a lot…it’s the easiest way to do my hair, next to a pony tail that is. I hardly ever do my hair with him because he’s usually sleeping when I [...]

Typing Quietly

Good thing the keyboard on my Mac is fairly quiet. Otherwise, I don’t know what I’d do for the next couple of hours.

To Party or Not…That is the Real Question

My little baby…my tiny baby…the baby that is growing up WAY too fast will be 1 in about 5 weeks. I cannot believe it’s been that long since Zack has been in existence. Where it feels like only yesterday that I had him, I feel like he’s been with me forever.
My dilemma…should I throw the [...]

I’m a New Parent…But This Sounds Like Good Advice

Once again, Zen Habits has come through on a post that is uplifting and thought-provoking.
Leo Babauta talks about relaxing your parenting style a bit so that you are not a hyperparent.
I know that Zack is only 10-months old, but sometimes I feel like I’m being too, ummm, overprotective. I hate it when he plays in [...]

Blue Eyes

Do I really need to explain the title? Zack’s eyes are the bluest I’ve seen in a long time. This was taken in Laughlin and the only thing that was keeping him happy at this moment was hanging off of David’s legs into the water to play with the rocks.

This was Zack’s first boat ride. [...]

I’m Waving My White Surrender Flag

I just can’t help it. Pumping is not going as well as I had hoped.
Yesterday I had done my usual pump in the morning and due to circumstances beyond my control, I wasn’t able to pump again until 1am. I’m not going to do the math on how long in between, but it was all [...]
