This weekend has been somewhat enjoyable. Having N home to take some of the pressure off me is nice. Everly seems to be doing better this weekend with her fussiness too. We’ve been doing much experimenting with my diet and other causes of her fussiness and gas. The first thing I did was take dairy […]

Reflections on parenthood, 16 days postpartum.
Our baby girl was born 16 days ago. She is adorable and is very healthy. I was fortunate enough to have an amazing natural birth experience and she was afforded the best possible start in life. The crazy thing about childbearing is that after birth they really just hand the baby over to you to […]
Parenthood brings new perspective on bodily functions.
Before having a baby I never peed in front of N. Always made him leave the room when I needed to use the bathroom. I also never farted in front of him. Been fairly ladylike over the last 8 years with him. When I was on knees and elbows pushing out Everly and tearing wide […]
Just having a relaxing 4th of July here at home.
Just spending the day in bed today with Everly and N. This is our first day as just the three of us, all the family is done visiting now. Everly was up all night fussing so a lazy, napping day is just what we need. It’s a rainy 4th of July here. We’ll see if […]
Been home for almost a week now.
It’s been one week since we left The Farm and came home with baby Everly. My mom has been with us since before Everly was born (about two weeks) and N’s family just arrived in Evansville on Wednesday to visit and help out. Yesterday we took my mom to the Evansville airport for her flight […]
Everly is 1 week old today, last night was a doozie!
Everly has a “witching hour” It is from about midnight to 3am, interestingly enough that was the time of transition and trauma in her life. She was born at 1:16am remember? Anyway, there have only been like 3 nights over the course of the week where she’s been a handful during her witching hour… Last […]
Green poop filled BumGenius = I
After reading Witchypoo’s recent post I’ve decided to steal her idea and share a little back and fourth email fun with you… What? I am ready to pop and feeling quite lazy in the blogging department these days! First some background. Witchypoo left me a comment on this post and then sent me a paypal […]
Keeping busy while resting AND gathering some stuff for Tater…
Some of you might remember how I began a baby stuff contest entering spree back in March. I started it to feel like I was doing something productive in preparing for Tater’s arrival and it has helped me not go crazy. Now It’s been a few months since that began. I’ve been checking twitter regularly […]
Assvice: Lets talk baby play yards for a second…
You guys are so helpful with the mommy assvice advice! I can’t call it assvice because really I do appreciate hearing all the good info about those useless things that new parents often get sucked in to buying. My eyes have been opened, thank goodness! Gives me less to stress about, lol. So, we figured […]
Thoughts on parenting… Dos, don'ts and inbetween…
Now that N and I are a only a few months away from being new parents we’ve been thinking and talking lots about parenting as I am sure most first time parents-to-be do. We’re trying to figure out how we’ll make it all work, what we hope to do or not do and we are […]
