Stellan is a week old today. Crazy how this week flew when the last week of my pregnancy was a decade long. I’m loving having a newborn again. It never gets old, ever. Stellan had several nights of screaming in the hospital, then one night of perfect nursing and sleeping and nursing and sleeping and […]
Stellan Wyatt
Stellan Wyatt, all 9lbs 2oz of him, joined the crazy cast of a big (little) family Wednesday afternoon. He was 21 inches long. His birth was fast and stated to be the attending OB’s “easiest ever” delivery. Labor lasted 4½ hours. I’ll work on his birth story. In the meantime, I am over the moon […]
Just another day around here.
Today while I was in the shower Pierce tried to reheat leftover pancakes. He was told to heat them for 20 seconds. I think he typed in a few extra zeroes. The whole house still smells like smoke. The pancake was black. The plate clearly didn’t survive. Then a dear unnamed child was apparently bored […]
Honestly?
I’ve always been ridiculously honest with my children. I don’t beat around the bush, and while I attempt to preserve their innocence, I still rather tell it like it is. That said, we were at Walmart earlier this week with everyone but Liberty and Sterling. It had occurred to me that I ought to head […]
39 Weeks
I’m 39 weeks today, due next Saturday. We went and found an outfit to bring baby home in today – we even may have decided on a name. I think, since it’s so close to my due date, we’ll keep it secret until baby’s born. I finally had Liberty get a shot of the dress […]
When???
I’m still here, still pregnant, still contracting ridiculously regular, still waiting. Pierce asked this morning when his brother will be born. I might have snapped at him slightly. Thing is, I’m not overdue. I have passed the point that Ellie was born in my pregnancy, but none of the others had been born by this […]
Baby Ocho: 37 Weeks, Sewing Projects and Dodging Sharp Objects
I wrote this post nearly a week ago. For a week I’ve planned to get a photo. I still will – but before I’m no longer 37 weeks, I’m just going to post this. Coming soon… a belly shot, hopefully in below mentioned sewing project! Ugh. I cut out a maternity dress mid November. I […]
Pierce
Last night I found Pierce trying to watch the television backwards, purple boots up in the air hanging off the armrest, craning his neck to see the television behind him. It was bedtime, and I told him to get his pajamas on before I realized why he was laying so strangely. Exhaustion had set in, […]
Two Children… Growing Up
After several successful days, I hesitantly declare Elliot potty trained. Crazy girl fought me a few weeks ago, so I backed off – but she kept insisting on taking her diaper off given half a chance. Monday I let her do it, and sent her to the potty crazy often. Then I learned she hates […]
Christmas… Decorating? Can we call it that?!
Decorating for Christmas was fun, once upon a time. Now, I’m tired, lacking space, and have a serious case of not feeling like it. The kids took over, and while I drew the line at a real tree from the pasture with no space to put it, they dug out the little set of fake […]
