This past weekend we journeyed by car to Pennsylvania to visit family. The Little Guy did remarkably well on his first road trip. We found one item in particular to be particularly awesome for travelling by car: We were already in love with our SwaddleMe for helping the Little Guy sleep at home (it’s hard to… [Read more…]

The Little Guy is now 2.5 months old. It’s incredible to think of how much he has grown already (more than 5 lbs and 4 inches!), and crazy to look at the giant pile of clothing and diapers that no longer fit him! As of this week, he weighs in at 14 lbs 10 oz,… [Read more…]

The past two and a half months have been a bit of a roller coaster. I’m not talking about sleepless nights, hours of a crying baby, or any of the other things I knew we might face with a newborn in the house. The Little Guy has been very easy-going and a great sleeper from… [Read more…]

The Little Guy was born on Monday, May 3, but his birth story begins on Sunday, May 2. Leading up to the birth, The Accountant and I had been so very busy. She was working a lot of long hours, and it was all I could do to keep up with my own to-do lists,… [Read more…]

The third trimester is no joke. In many ways, I feel like I’ve reverted to the first trimester, only now I’m carting around a four pound baby who’s squishing my bladder and enjoys doing what feels like wedging his foot into the bottom of my ribcage for extended periods of time. The exhaustion is back in full force,… [Read more…]

The Baby is due in 10 weeks. We close on our new house in 2 days. The movers are coming in 2 weeks. 10 + 2 + 2 = WOAH. Did I mention that we are also buying a car? Moving out to the ‘burbs means a need for a second car, so add car shopping… [Read more…]

In spite of all the gripes outlined in my last post (what a downer!), I’ve been trying my best to stick to my 2010 sorta-resolution and remember to “enjoy it.” Yes, there is stress a-plenty, and The Accountant is working lots of crazy hours, but the fact that wonderful things are happening in our life remains.… [Read more…]

I have a few things going on. I feel a bit like I’ve been catapulted and am now speeding through the air like a big pregnant rocket, with no landing in sight. Home-buying is proving to be a full-time job. I try to tell myself that we are probably in the worst of it now, and… [Read more…]
