sisterly.

Addie was meant to be a big sister the same way Julie Andrews was meant to sing and Monet was meant to paint. Vivi was meant to be Addie’s little sister. There is a love between them that I have never, ever seen before. If anyone ever needed proof that babies are sent to theContinue reading “sisterly.”

tapping out tales.

So there’s a few growing pains going on around these parts. If my blog were a car it would be my old 1994 Nissan Altima. Still works, kinda. Should probably be overhauled and upgraded to a much newer model…but it’s just not that broken yet. Maybe an unlicensed 15 year old will run a redContinue reading “tapping out tales.”

happy napper.

This baby right here? SHE NAPS. As in you feed her, burp her, change her, snuggle her, lay her down in her bed, walk away AND SHE FALLS ASLEEP ON HER OWN. TWICE A DAY. Officially the highlight of the week. I would say rolling over was a pretty big highlight but she needs toContinue reading “happy napper.”

the one where i compare my babies.

of parenting and platypi.

I gave Vivi some sage advice on surviving the next few months. You know, stuff like “Don’t whack yourself in the face!” and “TAKE NAPS!” But she’s a horrible listener so I doubt she paid attention to any of it. Ears on baby clothes? Only kittens are cuter. (Sometimes puppies. Or baby Platypi.) SPEAKING OFContinue reading “of parenting and platypi.”

vivi the mandrake and why I may wet the bed tonight.

So…Vivi found her volume switch. Multiple times today I made MAD DASHES across my house to make sure nothing was eating, pinching, sitting on, stealing, choking, scaring, hitting or biting the baby. Because surely babies don’t just randomly shriek out in the same high pitched shrill tones for every emotion they’re capable of conveying. TurnsContinue reading “vivi the mandrake and why I may wet the bed tonight.”

the one about staring at the baby.

I’ve had quite a few tumultuous struggles this past week with Addie in school for seven hours a day. For example: Stare at the baby or scrub the toilets? (Answer: Stare at the baby and then put the baby in a bouncy seat whilst toilet scrubbing.) Stare at the baby or go to the groceryContinue reading “the one about staring at the baby.”

Infantino Comforting Play Collection. {review & giveaway}

Addie, Vivi and I spent the morning playing with some new toys courtesy of Infantino. Addie’s favorite were the foot rattles.

the one about me not being able to breastfeed.

“Invented in the mid-1800’s as a last-ditch option for orphans and underweight babies, packaged infant formula has since been perfected to be a complete and reliable source of stress and shame for mothers.” -Tina Fey, Bossypants I do not produce breastmilk. I figured I’d better come clean on this whole subject since some of youContinue reading “the one about me not being able to breastfeed.”

live and diastasis.

So I have a tear down the middle of my stomach. Technical name? Diastasis Recti. What does it look like? The one on the left. image copyright 2010 Julie Tupler, RN Does it hurt? Yes. Quite badly at times. Can you feel your guts through it? Yep, and it’s just as gross as it sounds.Continue reading “live and diastasis.”
