I always feel better and am more relaxed when I know what to expect versus just assuming what something will be like. I have been so anxious about the future daycare plans that I couldn’t stop getting emotional about it. I mean, how many times can you cry about it before it isn’t normal?! In [...]

Going back to work means leaving my baby
Posted in baby, general life, tagged baby, child care, daycare, life, stay at home mom, working mother on September 26, 2008 | 1 Comment »
After 15 months of staying at home raising my son, I find myself looking for a job to help pay the bills. I’m really saddened by this and have spent many hours crying about it. I try to rationalize it by saying many parents have to put their child in daycare at 6 weeks or [...]
I’m freaked out about Vaccines – what to think and do?????

So, I have been following the vaccination schedule my doctor recommends for Jayden and I haven’t really thought much about it because it is something all kids go through, right? Well, it seems that many more parents are opting out of getting these vaccines because of fears of autism, too many shots at too young [...]
How much can you love one person?

I love my son with all my heart. I can’t even begin to tell you how much. It is such a deep, powerful and intense love. It may sound crazy, but when I hold him in my arms and think about how much I love him, it makes me want to cry. [...]
Blue Angels and babies don’t mix unless shaken well.

This past weekend was SeaFair in Seattle where we have hydroplane races and an air show. Technically, SeaFair lasts for about a month with a triathlon, marathon / run, parade, etc. For me, all that really matters is when the Blue Angels come to town. Yes, I may be even a little obsessed with them. [...]
Time flies… My little baby is one!

Wow. I can’t believe Jayden was born a year ago. A year! I remember when he was so tiny and you could hold him in one arm. Well, I guess I can still hold him in one arm but he may squirm out of it and his 25lbs are a lot to handle!
It has been [...]
A year ago, I went in to labor so I headed out to get a taco

Exactly a year ago, I was overly pregnant, big and uncomfortable. My little baby boy was 8 days late. Yes, 8! For about 3 weeks before his due date, I kept waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting to go in to labor. Often times, I’d feel a little uncomfortable twitch [...]

No, do it this way… He’ll stop crying if you pat his butt… He likes a tight swaddle, not a loose one, here, let me do it… The diaper isn’t tight enough and it leaked… His clothes don’t match. did you dress him in the dark?

My husband and I decided we need to do more outdoor activities now that it is nice (well, sort of) outside. So, today we had our first ever trip to the Woodland Park Zoo with baby Jayden in tow. I wasn’t sure how a nearly one year old would react to the zoo. Would he [...]
