Flee Market

Posted on February 28, 2011 by larva225

I did something yesterday that I’m not proud of.  I fled a problematic diaper, saddling her father with it.  I have seen other parents snarking at each other about whose turn it is to change the baby, but I never … Continue reading →

Spawn of the dead

Posted on February 25, 2011 by larva225

Once a couple of months old, babies steadily increase their vocalizations.  Or at least that’s been the progression at our house.  Stella went from crying exclusively to making all sorts of diverse racket.  She can squeal/screech like a bat (previously … Continue reading →

Planes, pains, and audible squeals

Posted on February 24, 2011 by larva225

I had the privilege of going up in our organization’s plane the other day to observe some of the sites I’m responsible for.  The only kicker was that this event occurred on one of the days I typically telecommute.  While … Continue reading →

Cack-a-doodle-doo

Posted on February 23, 2011 by larva225

Now that Stella’s sleeping, I’m worried about a new nighttime phenomenon.  What will become of my milk production?  The first several nights she slept more than 3 hours at a time, I would find myself waking up at 2:00 or … Continue reading →

Guess who’s coming to dinner?

Posted on February 22, 2011 by larva225

It was bound to happen at some point.  Having to pump twice a day at work can be a bit challenging.  What’s made it more of an issue is my employer’s need to “streamline” and “downsize.”  As such, they have … Continue reading →

I Ham Legend

Posted on February 21, 2011 by larva225

I think we’ve turned a corner at our house, or at least until the next thing comes along.  While Crispy was here a few days last week, we put Stella on her stomach to sleep.  Yes, this is not recommended … Continue reading →

A walk down mammary lane

Posted on February 18, 2011 by larva225

Fair warning:  this is going to be a blog about my boobs. I suppose I always had a typical relationship with my boobs.  For most of my life I didn’t like them and wished they were different (in my case, … Continue reading →

As the girl turns

Posted on February 17, 2011 by larva225

We had a series of strange (to us) events last night.  To set the stage, my mother, Crispy, needed a baby fix and arrived yesterday afternoon to stay a couple of days.  While I have gotten more used to getting … Continue reading →

By the Book

Posted on February 16, 2011 by larva225

We started reading to Stella in utero.  As soon as I read that she was capable of hearing outside sounds, her daddy would read books to her at night.  It was pretty cute.  He even tried to read a book … Continue reading →

The Rice Man Cometh?

Posted on February 15, 2011 by larva225

Not to beat a dead horse but Stella still isn’t sleeping too well at night.  It’s been a little over 2 weeks, and she’s rarely gone for more than 3-3.5 hours at a time, vs. the 6 or so she … Continue reading →
