Four Years Ago…

The other night…

I had the pleasure of keeping the Binja! Since it was bath night we took full advantage of the overwhelming cuteness! So now for your viewing pleasure!

Nursing round two (AKA: one more post Scout will hate me for when she is 12…)

I nursed Scout until she was 13 months old. The first 3 months of it were complete HELL! But we made it through and I planned on nursing Penelope. Nursing Penelope has been completely and totally easy. She latched on perfectly from day one and we have had NO issues. No sore nipples, no clogged [...]

Happy Birthday Penelope!

Today is the day!

Cruel and Unusual

I think there is something evil about telling a pregnant woman she can’t eat for EIGHT hours before she has a baby. Don’t they know how hungry I am!?!? And it isn’t like it the 8 hours I will be asleep…oh no that would be easy. I have to get my ratty pregnant ass up [...]

On the list…

a great night and today’s TMI

Last night The Coven et al had a dinner outing to celebrate Miss Penelope’s impending arrival. Since she is my second baby and so close to the last one…I was very insistent that it just wasn’t proper to have a shower this time. Jamie pointed out that Penelope deserved a celebration and who I am [...]

Help wanted!

We finally got Scout’s “Big Girl” room all ready and set up yesterday. It is gorgeous. I will have to post pictures soon. Now I need to know…HOW THE HELL DO I MAKE HER STAY IN BED??????? For whatever reason, my child who is totally wild 99% of the time, never attempted to get out [...]
