Sleep Again.

November 5, 2010

I’ve been tweeting and talking about this for ages, time to write a blog. Our Sleep Saga has been well documented.  For the last several months, Ronan has been an EXCELLENT sleeper. Here is what we were working with. We put Ronan to bed on sleepy cues.  When he slows down or gets glossy eyed, it’s time for bed.  That… Read More

I Dunno.

November 4, 2010

Why do I even do this to myself? Sure, go ahead and schedule a midwife appointment and a dentist appointment for your son on the same day. You’ll probably get enough sleep the night before. Everyone will be ready on time. You’ll have someone to watch Ronan during your appointment, and traffic will be fine. It wont be too late… Read More

It Never Stops Hurting

November 2, 2010

When my brain keeps coming back to something over and over again, that means it’s time to blog about it. There is no way that I can claim to know how it feels to lose a child.  My son is 20 months old, happy and healthy.  While I have been through several miscarriages, it still doesn’t shine a candle on… Read More

A Guest Post!

October 27, 2010

I wrote my first guest post! Kristin over at A Bun For My Oven asked me to share my perspective on my first delivery, and why I’m choosing to do things so differently the second time around. I had SO much fun writing this post, and am very excited to share it with everyone. Please, head over and read it,… Read More

A Grape Popsicle.

October 26, 2010

This week, Brock was off galavanting around Anaheim at Blizzcon.  He left on Wednesday afternoon, and I was working that day.  Brock’s little brother Brady had come to stay with us so we would have someone to watch Ronan. Thursday morning, we spent some much needed play time with Ronan’s buddy Fox (and his sweet momma!)  While we were there,… Read More
