The Breeders: Mama Got a New 'Do

My new post on Patch is about my first real solo outing that I managed to have just shy of the kid's four month birthday. Better late than never, I guess.

Who knew that getting a haircut and going to Target were going to be a milestone? But they were. Since I was separated from him I actually had to refer to him by name multiple times, which not only gave me a much need sense of autonomy but also gave him his own.  

On a less dramatic note, I've also realized I need to remember to take pictures to pair with my posts before the sun goes down, rather than using my Hipstamatic app to make bad lighting look like something I planned for.

The Breeders: Breastfeeding Must Haves

I have a new post up on Patch. I have a lot to say about breastfeeding (much, much more so it will have to wait for another post...eventually) but this is more of a tips list.

Seriously, to the two friends who gave me Lansinoh and my showers - I love you more than you know, ladies.

The Breeders: I'm So Totally Bored, Mom!

 

At three months he is suddenly a little person who thinks nap time is so totally boring.

I'm a Bad Mommy Blogger

Hi again. So much for doing a bunch of writing on maternity leave...I've been a little busy.

But, I have been writing! One post a week. If I start in on Sunday I manage to turn it in by my self-induced Wednesday deadline. I joined the hordes of local bloggers on my local Patch. I even gave it a cute (and traffic generating) name.

My most recent post is about how I have no idea how mommy blogging is a thing considering how little time I have to feed myself, let alone write. You can see all of my posts, including the one about how I left the house covered in baby pee, here.

Introductions

So, yeah I haven't been opening my computer much lately. Facebooking from my iPhone? That I've become a pro at because Nana demands needs daily pictures of that little guy. Yep, he's been here for nearly six weeks - six weeks!!! Its amazing and exhausting and I am now totally cool with being covered with poop and spitup on a regular basis. More soon.

Posts, more posts...not poop or spit up.

Your Friday Awesome: Hurry Up and Wait

That was the view from me on Tuesday. You'll note that my toes are nowhere in sight. What you don't see is my swollen feet and sausage fingers that almost made me drop my phone while I took it. On Tuesday, I was 37 weeks pregnant and still at work. Today, I am still 37 weeks pregnant, but on my couch archiving all of my email and making sure (one last time) that my fabulous coworkers have what they need to take care of things while I'm on maternity leave...which means that come this Monday, I do not have to haul my 38 week pregnant butt through downtown San Francisco - and that, my friends, is awesome.

#musicmonday: Book of Mormon...THE MUSICAL!

Thanks to NPR you can stream the entire "Book of Mormon" original cast recording. Needless to say, when it comes to the Bay Area I am totally taking my raised-Mormon husband and cringe through the whole thing.
