So, after my long rambling post, here is the gist of it: I am certainly not in any rush to work more hours. Mainly, my concern is getting back into a nursing specialty where I belong, before having another child. And we do plan to have at least one more biological child, and possibly adopt [...]

“A person’s a person, no matter how small”
Posted in Motherhood, budget, family, work on November 21, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
I have been having a work-family crisis, which apparently I am very prone to. I have been working PRN on a Peds unit for the past year, and it has been a great balance while pregnant and newly postpartum. However, the past month or so I have been very restless. Wanting to have a work [...]
A Good Day

Today it is pouring down rain, and thundering, with the lights blinking off and on now and then. Thank goodness this laptop runs for a while on battery power. Eli is asleep in his crib, for his second nap of the day even though it’s only noon. …Scratch that, awake again already.
Yesterday was one of [...]
Good times

My sister is visiting this week- yay! Also, my daughter had her second in a row no-cavity dental visit, after having all kinds of dental problems starting at age 18 months. This time she didn’t even cry when the dentist looked in her mouth. Woohoo! Let’s hope my husband can continue to crack down on [...]

I asked A, the midwife, to check me and to do a membrane sweep on Thursday, which was the day before my “official” due date, but 3 days before my real due date, which I was positive was really Sunday. I was 2.5 cm [...]

Went through transition on the car ride there, and had a fast and intense waterbirth with my most favorite midwife ever!
R.I.P. MoJo

Our dog MoJo was hit by a car yesterday and killed instantly. He was four. I’m sad that he’s gone, since he was very gentle with babies and toddlers, but at the same time, it’s a bit of a relief, since we were always a little worried that we would end up getting sued when [...]
Getting ready

Nesting is in full force. I have lists, sub-lists, and some of the items on my lists say things like, “Make list for XYZ.” Yesterday I started out with the goal of washing all baby clothing, and ended up spending over two hours sorting through my daughter’s baby clothes and toys, throwing as many items [...]

Jubilee is dancing…
Building with Daddy…
Making words on the fridge… (she told me this spells, “Snake… no, kitty-cat!”)
Meanwhile, I am organizing, I mean nesting….
But mostly, I’m gestating…
