I’m sitting at home. ALONE. ALL ALONE. L I T E R A L L Y A L L A L O N E. And it’s been such a great day. I have done so much stuff today that has really filled my cup up to make me a whole human being again. As I […]
After a hectic start to Jolee’s life…where are we now? Well, I did not keep up month to month posts with Jolee. So, we are pretty much going to jump from 4 months old to now…1 year old. She’s perfect. And feisty. And funny. And I love her so much. As I was editing the […]
Throughout the whole Jolee’s Journey with the Bottle…I have remained cautiously optimistic about the whole situation. She’s taken a bottle and then not taken a bottle and then taken a bottle again. I hoped this was the end of everything. I hoped she was really going to take a bottle forever. Well, not forever, but […]
Here’s an update on the babies. Raelynn will be 4 in 4 months. Briar is almost 15 months old. They are growing so fast. Following up from One Year Milestones…Briar is evolving into her personality. Man, I thought Raelynn was full of it, nope…Briar is going to be a handful. She is a little diva. […]
In the midst of all things gloomy… …we now have a ONE YEAR OLD!! As with most people, I have no idea where the past year went. It was a hard one, that’s for sure. For me, the main factors that made it hard were going back to work at 6 weeks, breastfeeding, no […]
I have decided that I’m going to take the same stance on this pregnancy as I did last pregnancy and try to keep up with weekly blogs. Now that I am pregnant again, I’m already looking back to old posts and I’m forever thankful that I posted weekly. My baby is as big as something […]
I’m pregnant. For the 5th time, I’m pregnant. But for the first time, it’s unexpected. And I’m a ball of fucking emotions for several reasons. First of all, this was not planned. We were not prepared for this at all. In particular, I was not prepared for this and, for the moment, it’s for extremely […]
Welp, 9 months really threw us for a loop. Cue growth spurt, minor sickness, AND TEETH all at the same time. I knew a growth spurt happened around 9 months so I was expecting it, but hoping it would pass with grace. Overall it wasn’t terrible. Briar definitely increased her breast milk intake temporarily in […]
I can’t believe I have an almost 9 month old. 12 more days and she will be 9 months. Time is literally flying by. I love it and I hate it. I love it because, at this point, I’m sure everyone is aware how much I love breastfeeding <–that is sarcasm in case you missed […]
Well, month 6 just crept on by like no big deal and we already in month 7 with Briar. So much has changed from Month 5 to Month 7. Developmentally, all in about one week, Briar was able to situp, CRAWL, AND sit herself up from a crawling position. It’s so incredibly crazy how quick […]
I realized the other day that I had not been giving as many updates on CrossFit and my diet in a while, so, here we go… If you recall, around 5 months postpartum, I was starting to get some glimpses of sleep. When I actually started to get some consistent nights of sleep, my engine […]
I may or may not be having some pumping success now…a whole 2 weeks later… I FINALLY took the plunge and started waking up at 5 a.m. during the week to add in an extra pump. Now, this is what my day looks like: 5:00 a.m.- wake and pump 8:00 a.m. – pump 10:30 a.m. […]
Follow up on my previous breastfeeding/pumping post Issues with Breastfeeding and Pumping A couple of weeks ago, Briar’s daycare said she needed 5 ounces, and then a couple of days later, she tells me she think she needs 6 ounces. 6 WHOLE OUNCES….4 TIMES A DAY….24 OUNCES….Bruhhhh… I knew she was right though. So I went […]
I never thought things would be so different from one kid to the next. Like literally night and day different. I have been wracking my brain and going back through my old posts and I’m kicking myself in the ass for not being more detailed with Raelynn. I am currently on a big time struggle […]
Well, I’m 4 months into our new life of 4. It’s definitely hectic and we are still trying to figure things out. I’ve been asked several times how much harder are things with two kids. Everything is harder. But, in my personal opinion, the hardest adjustment was going from 0 kids to 1 kid. You […]
