11 Years

Sara blogged about the Sara of 10 years ago. Which made me think about the Dawn of 11 years ago today.
11 Years ago just about right now I was at a rehearsal for a wedding. I was in a black crop sweater with red trim and buttons. I was in a denim skort. I was […]

Mini Me

What looks like Scout, sleeps like me, doesn’t sleep me, eats like me, likes clothes like me and likes the same textures as me?
My Mini Me!
And I thought I had to have a girl to have a Mini Me. Crazy talk. The lessons just keep on coming.

Daddy Love

I miss Scout.
In the OMG where is he? Screaming out of me.
I don’t usually do this when he’s gone.
To be honest, knowing that Mom was going to be here while he was in Indy this week, I really had it in my head that we would “fix” everything. Two women and a baby, without feeling […]

Alex Month One


One month birthday

At time of said shift change and the sounds of doors opening and […]

Postpartum

Hm. It seems that my postpartum blues/depression may be emerging in a way I hadn’t anticipated. I’ve expected to end up back on the happy pills, something which actually seemed to comfort the terrific discharge nurse I had in the hospital. She and I were already seeing eye to eye and when she started the […]

Could have been me

I can read on the computer and hold sleeping Alex at the same time. Skillz, mad skillz I have.
Anyway, I blog jump to find interesting stuff to read to keep me awake because we are still waking every 75 minutes to eat and I do better just staying awake.
I wasn’t supposed to get pregnant. With […]

I’m an ass

Fact:
Scout stated several days ago he was sick with a head cold.
What I heard:
“I’m whiny bc I have spring allergies, or I touched a rock and it hurt, or I need attention, or you don’t look like you are strung out enough with the post delivery body and the constant hooking up to the moo […]
