I had pretty much decided how this birth would go. Josh was against homebirth since we’re about half an hour from the hospital. I didn’t really want to drive over an hour to a birthing center or hospital that would allow me to use a midwife. So I was going to have the New Baby [...]

I only have a few pictures for you today, sorry!
Meet my attempt at craftiness:
Meet my Kitty Cat:
Meet my Tiger:
About the plate:
It was the end of a very long, busy, jam-packed weekend with family and Olivia was in a less-than-perfect mood. Benjamin did his handprint first and we was no trouble at all. [...]

… If she’s already started teaching her 22 month old brother how to do it.
I was making dinner. Tuna noodle casserole. From scratch. It is a time-sensitive recipe with much stirring or else there will be much scalding.
I heard Olivia taking on a rather maternal tone with her litle brother in the living room. It [...]

Then, somehow, she actually DID end up with it. And proceeded to feed HIM. Sweetness:
“What do you mean my turn’s over? I have to give it to HER?!”
They often cuddle now when they’re upset with each other. I do love it.
But after cuddles, he was still distraught that he was left [...]

Have you ever had a day so filled with whining you just want to scream? The crying, the stealing of toys, the clinging to your legs when you really don’t have a hand to hold them. (And I would have put him in the sling if he had decided he wanted to be held when [...]

You may have noticed Meet-and-Greet wasn’t up on Monday. Neither was I. Starting around 7pm Sunday evening and finally ending 4am Monday morning, I couldn’t even keep water down. I haven’t been sick that many times in my life, combined.
So I spent most of Monday sleeping.
My goal for today is eating. I’ve lost five pounds [...]

Since my blog posts are forwarded to my facebook account, I thought I’d write it here so you guys could enjoy it, too. Cuz I know you will.
I was born on Labor Day. Thought that was appropriate. Though, it was only 12:23 in the morning, so most of the labor had been the day before.
It [...]

My Benjamin craves human touch. He will not be fooled or satisfied with any alternatives. When he is upset, his little hand shoots out and up, searching for my neck. When he finds it, his whole body relaxes. His hand remains on my warm skin, feeling my pulse, until he is finally relaxed enough for [...]

We joke that we’ll end up calling the new baby, “New Baby”. Because when you ask Benjamin what his name is, he stares you in the eyes and responds in all seriousness: “Baby.”
If you ask him what his sister’s name is, he’ll answer, “Vah-yah.” Which is an honest attempt at “Olivia.” So we know he [...]
