It’s been five weeks of my new little pirate. Five whole weeks of newborn diapers, sweet baby smiles, cuddly blankets, and tiny clothes. It’s also been five whole weeks of feedings every 3 hours, screaming fests and sleepless nights. As wonderful as a newborn is, it can also be the scariest most aggravating time of [...]

I’ve got a pirate update and a couple of bloggy questions for you…
Three weeks have come and gone since the pirate has officially becomeĀ a land blubber. (Do you ever wonder how long I’ll take these pirate puns? Me, too.) And just as I hoped I’m feeling more normal.
We’ve had decent feedings, good naps and [...]

my pirate & me at 37 weeks.
I had another sweet baby shower this week. Complete with a delicious pirate hat cake and a diaper treasure chest! We played a little guess-how-big-Amanda’s-belly game with ribbons. These little ribbons were the losers, thank goodness!
I’m feeling pretty tired and sore right now. Everything is swollen–my hands, my feet, [...]

I have just entered my 3rd trimester. I’m 28 weeks. And according to the weekly [...]

Saturday was the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Atlanta. For those of you that don’t know, that’s THE breast cancer fund-raising event. My sisterchicks and our mamas did it last year and it was such an amazing experience we decided to make it a yearly event. It’s an awesome way to celebrate [...]

When Lydia was about 3 months old and I was a new sahm, I found an online messageboard for moms with babies born the same month as Lydia.
I started reading, posting and becoming friends with the mamas on that board. It’s been over two years now and I still check that messageboard every day. [...]

My mom (1 1/2), my grandmother, my great-grandmother.
June 1958.
Mama & me in the hospital when I was born.
May 1977.
Me & Lydia, my firstborn.

These are the 3 pictures that define motherhood. My great-grandmother affected my grandmother, who raised my mom, who poured into me and I’m now molding Lydia’s life.
My great-grandmother and grandmother were distant [...]

Me: I wish I was a Cookie Monster. I could eat cookies all day.
Lydia: I like cookies.
Me: You do?
Lydia: (nonchalant) I like [...]
