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. […]
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 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 […]
As I hope you’ve previously read, I made the decision to go dairy free when Briar had an adverse reaction to dairy through my breast milk. I’m not a big dairy eater in general so overall it wasn’t that hard for me to give up. It becomes hard when I’m tired and I don’t feel […]
