welcome to my insanity
April 27, 2007
"Holy crazy week, batman. First, I totally jinxed myself by being all ‘I’ve got this Mom thing down!’ in my last post. Because Wednesday? Totally kicked my ass. Maggie spent the large portion of the day (meaning: All Of It.) either screaming or attached to my boob. And I am SO not exaggerating. She slept in [...]"

"So Friday night was glorious. I slept for NINE HOURS STRAIGHT. I didn’t get up to pee. I didn’t get up to feed anyone with my boobs. I don’t even think I rolled over. That’s the first time I’ve had that long of a stretch of solid sleep since I was first pregnant, back in [...]"

"Dan is taking over Maggie’s feedings tonight… well, at least two of them anyway. I have enough milk pumped to cover two feedings, and so me and my boobs get to sleep. SLEEP. For hopefully more than just 2 hours at a time. Because I? Am tired. Good night. More posts like this: refreshed April 23, 2007 I don’t [...]"

"I keep wanting to post something here, to let you all know that yes, we are in fact surviving our first few weeks of parenthood. But I’m just not sure what exactly to post about. Do you want to hear about how Maggie likes to pee after we take her diaper off and wipe her bum [...]"

Maggie’s birth story
April 07, 2007
"Okay, here it is! I’ve written this in several different sittings over the past week… hopefully it’s not too choppy or random. I wanted to get everything down in words before I forgot my emotions and thoughts and little details. Tuesday morning (March 27) I had my 38 week appointment with my OB. The previous Friday [...]"
Maggie: 1 week
April 05, 2007
"Dear Maggie-Girl, You are one week old now. A whole week! And we haven’t broken you! This is definitely a cause for celebration. A little over a week ago, you were still in my belly. I have to admit- as much as pregnancy was starting to drive me nuts, you were a lot easier to take care [...]"
