Family Routine – 1 month

During the first month at home, here’s what a typical day with our family of three looks like… 7 am: Wake up (for good).    I usually don’t go back to sleep after P decides he’s hungry between 6-8 am.  He eats every 2-4 hours or so throughout the night (it’s occasionally more frequent during the day) so if it’s before 6 am I usually try to go back to sleep again, but if it’s after that I just get up.  Kyle showers while I change and breast feed and then brings the pack ‘n… Read more >

One handed Top Chef challenge

It’s hard to write about food…all I want to do is chat brag about my baby boy. He’s perfect.  So don’t be surprised if this blog veers a little in the family/baby direction.  But for now, I’m here with food stuff.  Even more than before, I need super fast meals.  Preferably healthy ones that can be made one handed.    I’ve basically been relying on the rice cooker and crock pot, per usual.  [You can see this post for my go-to quick & easy week night meals]  Love me a brown rice stir fry.   … Read more >

Post-Partum Stuff [3 weeks]

  I’m so in love.  With my little PAC man.  With Kyle.  With our family.  With our semi-insane-but-totally-awesome-routine.  I probably kiss my baby 600 times a day.  His squishy cheeks are just so adorable.  And his little nose.  And lips.  Gah.  I’m freakin’ crazy head over heels in love with him; and I can hardly believe Kyle and I created him. My body has healed pretty nicely.  I’m very lucky.  I know this has to do with good (great!) genes, an active pregnancy, and eating well.  I think raspberry leaf tea helped too.  And as… Read more >

Birth Story [part III – discharge]

[Cont from part I and part II] A Valentine’s Day to remember P arrived in his new room right as we got there.  What we then came to discover was his “room” was really just a cube with a crib in it.  Worse still, was that Kyle and I were planning on staying the night.  We had one recliner chair.  And a borrowed rolling office chair from the nurse’s station. Try learning to latch and breast feed in that environment!  All the lactation consultants in the world couldn’t make this situation work. So once again… Read more >

Birth Story [part II – NICU]

[cont from Part I] Kyle went with P and suddenly I was alone in my room (with my mom at least) and no baby.  WTF?!?  Did that really just happen?  I felt like I was in a nightmare.  What was going on!?  Worst of all was that Kyle had my cell phone and his so I zero way to get a hold of anyone.  I was stuck in my room without my husband or son.  Can someone please update me!!!!!  I was so out of touch. The only photo I had of my baby (taken… Read more >
