This post is to provide an update, but more importantly, it is to help my bloggy friend Sarah over at Sarah, Brett & Our Baby Boy.  You can get a quick recap HERE. Since birth, Austin has been fighting like a brave and strong little man.  He has had some setbacks, he is still in the hospital, but his will power and spirit surprise everyone each day, especially his loving parents. Sarah was

That's what I feel like....a complete dropout.  I haven't updated my family blog, or this here gem in a long time. So instead of excuses, I will just give you a bullet pointed list of the reasons (excuses) to my absence. After our hospital stay, we were just recovering when my husband was in a car accident. He's fine, he's fine, (big deep breath) however our trusty little car was not.  Our

I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to write about this, but it is something I definitely wanted documented.  Over Thanksgiving week we had a scare with Bradley and had to stay 24hrs at Children's Hospital in Cincinnati.  Neither my husband, parents, friends or myself had ever heard of what happened to Bradley, that's why I thought it to be so important to blog about it, just to spread

My little man turns 1 tomorrow.  Gasp.  I apologize for these last couple weeks, and probably the next few weeks for my MIAness and my non amusing posts.  I have been cherishing every second with my newly walking baby.  I have been using my free time to look back at old pictures and video's of a year ago and I've been completely struck with nostalgia almost daily.  I cannot believe my pad wearing

Who would have thought that a wedding registry could get me so fired up. There is nothing worse than having to buy a gift for a wedding you are having to go to. Side note: I know my attitude is totally off, and I'm being seriously cynical here, but there is too much history that I will not get into to explain why my attitude is poor. Quick background:  -This couple is fam of my hubs fam. Well

That's right.  Me, miss germ-a-phobe, over-protective, controlling, cautious mother, has become pretty liberal when it comes to my baby.  Pause for gasp. Most of what I've become liberal about is food related.  As I have mentioned before, I started giving B eggs around 9 months.  He did fine with them and loves them. At 10 months old, I jumped into the big one.  You might know it as PB.  Yes,

It is most definitely fall.  I live in Ohio, which means at this time of year it is jacket weather in the mornings and evenings, you sweat your balls off in the afternoon, and at night it is most definitely cuddle weather.  (Shit, I need to shower more often.) Because of this sudden temperature plunge at night, I thought it was a perfect time to have B learn to sleep with a blanket.  Not that

Yep, I'm still here.  Still boobfeeding.  Still primarily feeding from righty.  Still lopsided. I cannot.   I repeat.  I CANNOT believe my infant baby boy is 10 months old, thus meaning, I have almost been nursing for a YEAR! My tits sag. My nips are huge. My fun bags are no longer fun, nor bags really, at this point they're more like pancakes. BUT IT IS ALL SO WORTH IT.  Nursing my 7 pound

Hi.  Remember how I told you I suck?  Well it's true.  I still kind of suck and I REALLY suck when it comes to posting pictures on my blog lately.  I could give you the annoying to any infertile excuse that "my baby is teething" or "we've been doing   mommy-n-me classes"  or "my baby won't nap" but no, none of that is true.  My REAL excuse?  Big Brother. Bachelor Pad. American Ninja Warrior.

Come on, let's hug it out!  No really, "get ova here!" (in my best new yorker voice) Who doesn't love a hug?  I mean really, hugs are the best.  Unless the other person smells, or is sweaty, or you yourself are sweaty for that matter.  Nonetheless, hugs are fantastic.  That's why I am really feeling some warm fuzzies right now from Holly over at Ready To Be A Mom.  She has passed on this

AlakazZAM!  (arms waving) POOF! I have a real little boy. B is 9 months old, but he is 9 months going on ten years.  At least that's how it feels.  He is SMART. (Now before you go all, "she's going to call her kid gifted" talk calm yourself....I cognitively know he is no smarter than any other baby....he just seems like it, to me. wink wink) How did I go from having this little noodle

As B is growing up, he is starting to look more and more like his Daddy, and less and less like me.  (So I've been told.)  However, I'm happy to report he still has bits of my personality traits outwardly on display. I've always been known to do things, well, "my own way."  If everybody does things "this" way, I will do them "that" way, just to be a pain in the ass different. I am a very

Hi, I suck. I have totally been sucking with my blog.  I've been boring and MIA.  The odd part is, my life has been anything but boring lately. B started crawling (which I still need to upload that video for you...see, suckage right there), he is pulling himself to standing, he is the happiest cutest little shit I've ever laid eyes on.  But with all that, still no blogging mo-jo.

First off I will say that we are all fine and little B is napping soundly in his crib.  This however, was not the circumstance just a few hours ago. Let me set the scene.  It was around 10:45am this morning when B and I got home from the grocery store.  Hubs is so sweetly out of town about 30 minutes away laying flooring at my parent's house.  So it was just me at home trying to put the

I've never really been a "green" person or an "organic" person either.  Nor had I used to be a clean freak or a germ-a-phobe but we all know how that has changed since the B man has came along. So with that said I need help with household cleaners.  More specifically, carpet cleaners.  Even more specifically, carpet cleaners that are safe for baby.  Even way more specifically, carpet cleaners

Tonight I find myself In Love with so many things... A little background:  It was a rough night putting B down tonight.  Not even that he was crying, but he's learned to sit up on his own.  So for over an hour he thought it was play time in his crib.  Therefore he continuously threw his paci's out of the crib which called for us to go up and retrieve them.  That then leads to him being upset

This new phone will have the following apps: You can pee on it, and it will tell you if you are pregnant, or ovulating. You can swipe it across your forehead each morning for a temperature reading. You can put it to your belly for an ultrasound. It can inject you with meds. It is also equipped with the

Annoying - The kiddie pool I was so raving about sprung 3 holes in the canopy by the seam.  I have been able to tape/super glue/paper clip it back together so it is holding air as of now but still, annoying. Annoying - B has learned to throw his paci's out of the crib and then whine for them.  Ok, it's not annoying, it's cute.  I could never complain.  So this is me NOT saying it's annoying :)

It is CD 16 (or is it17?) and there is no sign of a surge. Not even a hint of a sign. I am bummed. Annoyed. I really really REALLY don't want to have to go back on the pill. But oh well, there could be much worse things, I know. I just got done reading a FB thread of my friends announcement of finding out the sex of their second baby. Another boy. In the thread of mostly congratulatory comments,

Why is it that making friends as an adult is , well, just plain awkward?Today at the pool I was a witness to this cute, simple, frank exchange by two young girls.Cutie-Pa-Tutie 1-Piece: "Can I play with you?"Cutie-Pa-Tutie Bikini: "Sure."Cutie-Pa-Tutie 1-Piece: "What are you playing?"Cutie-Pa-Tutie Bikini: "Find the water rings."Cutie-Pa-Tutie 1-Piece: "Ok!"Cutie-Pa-Tutie Bikini: "Ok!"This got me

So, apparently I used to be a high-rolling infertile. Yesterday I was at the grocery store to pick up an OPK kit. Today is CD10 so I wanted to start testing. (I usually *medicated-ly* O'ed around CD13 or 14). Anyhow, I was shocked. Have these tests gotten more expensive or did I just not used to care what they cost?I bought the cheapest kit and came home. I went cabinet diving because I knew I

So I realized that with last weeks news of the red dragon I haven't really shared where I go from here with PCOS and TTC. Hubs and I talked and right now our main concern is the health of my ovaries. My precious two little O's. With PCOS you can have a period but still not ovulate. Therefore with each cycle follicles can grow, but if they don't release you end up with cycs on your ovaries which

My nipple.He bit me.I knew it was bound to happen. Well to be honest he's bit me twice before. It was weeks and weeks ago and I put a stop to it right away. Pulled his mouth off. Said "No biting!"

Well I guess there is also the storms that swept through and took two of our trees with it, the state of the real estate economy which is effecting my income, world peace and starving children, but you know those things are minimal when it comes to boobs, food and sleep.So for my boob update.

First you think you will never get pregnant.Then you think nothing in the world can be better than being pregnant.Then you give birth.Then you think you will never sleep again.Then you wonder if you will ever have sex again.Then you wonder if you will ever poop in privacy or if you will always have a kid in a bumpo by the john with you.Then your nipple gets bit.Then......................something

That would be my bra size. To be more specific (since I'm sure you are dying to know) my bra size would be 34 Left A, Right C. Now, where to find a bra to fit?I was completely prepared for the larger boobs that would come during pregnancy/lactation. Plus I was even prepared for the smaller "deflated" looking boobs I heard would come post lactation. However...I was not prepared for this state of

You can be the care taker of your happy baby all day long, no problems, no messes, no fussing and no accidents. But, odds are that your spouse will walk in on you when your baby is peeing on the carpet, and on the new diaper he is holding, while rubbing off the freshly applied vaseline, and knocking over the powder, which he got on his face.I'm sure that's what my hubby thought when I walked in

Boobs. Please don't fail me now boobs.Like I said in my previous post, I fear/feared I was drying up. (Isn't that phrase "drying up" the most hideous sounding phrase ever?)So I think what happened is I got lazy. I know when babies start solids it is natural and normal for the milk supply to lesson because the baby's needs lesson. But still, I don't what mine to lesson. Every time I feed my baby

Sleep. You tricky bastard you.We went back to swaddling. I had too. Poor B just wasn't getting it, wasn't napping, therefore I wasn't napping, cleaning, blogging, working....I wasn't doing anything. So we swaddle. I guess my little man just loves being wrapped up tight. Did I cause this? During pregnancy were my pants too tight or something? So now naps are back on track. Lovely. However there

It is 2011, and let's be honest, the government pretty much controls everything now. (Well not really but that intro just makes this post sound better.)How is it possible that they haven't made a law stating that you CANNOT smoke inside a car if there is a minor i.e.baby, in the car. Does this not make anyone else livid?It sets me off immediately when I see a poor baby strapped in a car seat in

Or better yet, it's own day each month and it shall be called, NIAW CD1.I know what I'm about to write might sound ridiculous, but for some reason tonight I have to get it off my chest.

One of the many reasons I am so glad I started this blog is for documentation purposes. I must admit I am HORRIBLE at keeping up with things like journals and baby books and memories stuff. I was horrible about it during my engagement, wedding, and pregnancy. Now with my baby I've really tried to get on the ball with documenting memories and milestones. My saving grace has been this calendar I

I am exhausted. I am not even tired from nights. Nights are still decent because I am still swaddling. I think the cereal is keeping him full longer too. He's been sleeping about a 12 hour stretch with waking to eat once, sometimes twice, but he is so easy. Wake up, 3 to 5 minutes on boob, back to sleep. Ahh night's are good. Naps however, are miserable. The poor thing really has no idea why he's

My kid pooped. My kid pooped 3 times. Which means I had to practice the art of follow-through. Yes, I did go buy my kid a toy. (I know, I know he has no sense of what's going on.) But still it is good practice for me. I know as a parent, you can't say one thing and do another.

Is it too early to start bribing my kid? 3 days on rice cereal and still no poop. He has had pretty loud massive gassy farts, but no prize. Poor guy. Thanks for your comments again. Tonight we are moving on to oatmeal and here's to hoping that will help get things moving for him. I know they say to introduce new foods like one week or two weeks at a time or something, but I'm pretty confident

I have learned: - If I need my baby to wake up, all I must do is make myself a meal. As soon as I sit down to eat it, he awakes, like magic. (At least he is helping me take off the baby weight!) - The nature behind a blowout occurring depends solely on the position of the buttock during the dumpage, not the size of the load. - It is IMPOSSIBLE to fold a fitted sheet. Even if it is crib size. -

That's what I am. I am a Mom staying at home. I'm not a stay at home Mom. Let me explain: I am a real estate agent and therefore, I get the luxury of staying at home to raise our son. I do not however consider myself a stay at home mom because I am technically a "full time" Realtor. So basically I am a mom, staying at home, but I'm on-call 24-7 to poopy diapers, hungry bellies, property calls,

The struggle of an infertile is so hard. We all know that. Infertility affects the infertile and everyone close to them. It can be down right devastating. On the other hand, when you are blessed with a little miracle, whether it be through intercourse (does that really even work to create a baby?), iui, ivf, adoption, or surrogacy, everyone around you becomes so overwhelmingly happy for you.

Today is the day we are going to take Bradley swimming for the first time! I have been wanting to do this since we became members of the ymca. He loves taking baths so I am so excited to actually be able to get in the water with him and splash around. My only fear is that the heated indoor pool still might be a little chilly for him. We will see. Also, I think hubs has a secret fear that the

While I'm blogging, this is what I get to watch! First things first...I DID IT! I put B in his nursery and kept him there all night. Really, the props should go to Bradley. He did it. He did wonderfully. He slept so soundly, without needing a paci, without getting his arms out, even without wiggling around much from 9pm-6:30am. He woke up to eat, and went back down for another hour. He is

Oh Swaddle me, how I love you so. This piece of beautifully crafted, artfully stitched piece of material is a lifesaver! In fact, I think they should make them for gown ups. There are many days when I feel out of control and I'm throwing a tantrum just because I've over tired and would love someone to come in, wrap me up in this cozy thing, lay me down in a dark quiet room and let me sleep alone

I can't get Bradley out of our room at night. I just can't do it. It is so much harder than I thought it would be. (Ok, I think the moral of this whole blog post-baby is learning that EVERYTHING is harder than I thought it would be. Harder but yet so so so much more amazing as well!!)But I mean who wouldn't want to be around this little guy 24-7?Hubs has been great and not pressuring me to get

I don't know what happened to me, or where along the way I have become the way I have become, but I am a completely different mom in one area than I ever thought I would be. I AM COMPLETELY OVER-PROTECTIVE. I know I am. I said it. I own it. I admit it. I am not going to change it. However, I've found myself needing to make excuses for it. But why? I don't need to make excuses for it. I am the mom

As my baby has approached the 3 month milestone I find myself telling his age in months "He's 3 months old" instead of weeks as I did previously, "He's 10 weeks old."This got me thinking. When did I make the switch between telling his age in days, instead of weeks? I must have gone from saying, "He's 11 days old" to saying, "He's 2 weeks old" and not even realized I made the switch. How quickly

The beginnings of my collection...I've really been hoping that a neighbor will come over asking for a cup of milk and I could reply, "Human or cow?" (Do neighbors even ask for a cup of milk anymore? How retro is that?)Well anyway 3 months into this breastfeeding thing and so far that's how much I've stored up. I have no idea if that's a good or bad amount but I'm proud of every last drop of that

Cup-a-noodles for lunch and beer for dinner. Oh wait, that was college, not that far back.I'm talking about my habit of turning to Dr. Google for every question I may have. So my little munchkin is getting ready to turn 3 months old next week and still no period. I mean I'm sure that's completely normal right? Well I turned to Dr. G.Oh what I hate about everything pregnancy/baby. Pretty much

The "I just had a baby card." As my little blessing is approaching 3 months old next week (can you believe it) I finally had to swallow the fact that it's a little late to keep playing the I just had a baby card when it comes to fitness and getting my body back. I will have to put that card back in the deck until next time..........(Hopefully)Hubs and I both started to get back on the horse...

"Be sure to send us a picture!"Those were the last words my RE said to me after the most positive feel-good doctor appointment I ever had. It was the 7 week appointment when we confirmed a heart beat. It was amazing. And it was amazing to hear my RE say those words to me, finally, after all those times I had begrudgingly walked by the cork board of baby announcements in disgust. But finally one

First off, here's my boy 8 weeks old!!I know some of you are very curious as to what my Pediatrician said to us that slapped me right back into my infertile mind. So I will begin with that story.It was actually at one of our first appointments, either 1 week or 2 week old apts. I do love our pediatrician because he (in the beginning) was spending just as much time, or even more time talking about

Yes, I'm still amazed that milk is coming out of my boobs.Just needed to take another moment to talk about nursing. Can I just tell you how good it feels to get the correct latch? It feels like such an accomplishment.I would equate it to that feeling you get when you start the lawn mower on the first try. Like you just won the gold. Yes, it's that amazing.However, it's a good thing you don't

But I am...Hubs walks in the door from work.Cue me:"Ok so, today he did so good. He went 3 hours between all his feedings. Plus he had a blow out and it totally got all over his onesie. But that's ok because I was kind of excited to put him in a new outfit. And then it was 4 o'clock and he wasn't supposed to eat again until 5 so I gave him a bath and he did so great and it tided him over until 5.

... Whoever coined the phrase, "Don't wake a sleeping baby" was definitely NOT NURSING!First of all, let me just start by saying I am still completely astonished that milk is coming out of my boobs. It still seems like such a foreign concept, even though it is happening to me. Second, I have always heard about feeling your milk "let down" but it is the most unbelievable concept until it really

I actually googled "How to go into labor."I know, I know, the baby will come when he's ready. I'm only 37 weeks and shouldn't be panicky, I
