Mission Motherhood

My two newest obsessions

It’s no shocking secret that I heart the internets.  I’m mildly OCD and pretty much just enjoy having so much information at my finger tips.
I’ve recently discovered that Flickr is more than just a photo hosting website.  There are groups!  And photo pools!  People talk.  I had no idea on the coolness I was missing [...]

Grayson at 4 months

At 4 months Grayson:

weighs 14lbs 8oz

is 25 inches long

wears size 2 diapers

has finally developed some juicy thigh rolls.  I can’t get enough of him.

is solidly in size 3-6 clothing and finally outgrew his last 0-3 footed sleeper.  (**weep**)

is eating about 28oz a day… if you can keep him from getting overly distracted during eating time.  [...]

Woefully behind!

I’m a sucky blogger. I’ll be the first to admit it. But I promise it’s not for lack of exciting content… I just lack the time to sit down and compose my thoughts.
I *may* have an exciting new adventure on my hands, but for some reason I’m scared to post it out there on the [...]

I am cheating on my husband and baby

With my new Camera!!
Ok, it’s actually not here yet - but I will be surely make sweet love to it once it arrives in my anxious little hands.  (ETA is Friday!)
I am beyond excited.  That is all.
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

4 month wakeful is not an urban legend

Holy hell do we have some sleep regression in our house!
When Grayson was a newborn, I expected to get little to no sleep. I planned on it and tried to prepare as much as I could. (Who ever started saying “sleep when they sleep” is a moron that didn’t have a tv, computer, internets or [...]

Musings on my first Mothers Day

I may be a day late and a dollar short on my mothers’ day recap, but I wanted to make sure and get it down.   (And since tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of my BFP - it makes perfect sense!)
In short, I had a wonderful mothers’ day.  My husband surprised me with a gift [...]

Grayson says:

Happy Mothers Day!

The great debate of ‘09

Do I work? Do I stay home? Do I find a part time job? Do I shut up about the entire topic all together and just stop being a baby?
Ok, seriously, I’m trying to be positive over here. I made it through my first week back at work. The general consensus is that while it [...]

1 day down, 800,957,345 to go.

At the very least, I can say that I survived my first day back at work. I made it into the office when I said I would, and made it home in time to see the baby before he went to sleep for the night. But survival is really all that I accomplished.
This [...]

And this is it…

Time to go back to work. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200.
Bah. I’m not ready!!!
