Baby Rabies

Self Admitted Pregnancy Psychosis

The following is coming from a psychotic, hormonal, emotional, state of rage and annoyance. I acknowledge that I’m being completely irrational. Now, allow me to rant.
I woke this morning at 6 am with my husband’s alarm. Instead of drifting back to sleep like I do any other morning, I shot up and began trying to [...]

Pretty In Pink… or Purple, Penis Still Intact

This morning I was DE-LIGHTED to see BabySteals.com offering the fantabulous, super-awesome, life saving, colic soothing Miracle Blanket for $15. I pounced on that bad boy and ordered one right away. We only had one for Kendall, and I planned to add another to the stash before this baby arrives so we might be able [...]

LET’S GET READY TO RUMBLE!! Consignment Style

I’d been counting down the days until yesterday for months. It was the BIG SHOW, the MAIN EVENT, the SUPER BOWL FOR MOMS… it was consignment sale day.

I had a plan, a prioritized list, a budget (ugh), and caffeine and sugar coursing through my pregnant veins. I was not above using my belly to bump [...]

Because, Apparently, A Name Can Determine Future Dental Hygiene

My least favorite part of bringing a new life into this world? Not sure, but naming them is in the running. It goes a little something like this around here…
What about (name)?
No, that’s too trendy. There are already a million (name) and I’d like to not add another to the mix.
What about (name)?
No, that’s too [...]

Potty Training Progress Report

“Get used to it now, your life will revolve around pee and poop for most of the foreseeable future. And let me just say, newborn poop has nothing on watching your toddler drop a man-sized turd in the toilet. THAT? Might make you gag.”
Those were my encouraging words of wisdom to one of my BFFs [...]

I Did A Little Decorating Today

Despite the fact that the man promised me I would maintain full control over the temperature of the house throughout the duration of the pregnancy, per the terms of our negotiations, he KEEPS ON CHEATING and thinking I’m not going to notice.
Oh, I WILL NOTICE a one degree jump in temperature around here, buddy. Make [...]

In 18 Weeks(ish)

In 18 weeks I’m going to have another baby.
In 18 weeks I’m going to be a “mother of 2.”
In 18 weeks my breasts are going to be spraying milk at innocent passersby as I walk around, topless, caring not who sees me in my very “National Geographic” state of being.
In 18 weeks I’m going to [...]

Saying Goodbye to Being A Boy Mom

I’ve mentioned here before, and I’ve certainly stated to my friends and family (back before I found out we were having a girl) that I wouldn’t be shocked at all to end up with all boys. My husband comes from a huge family that seems to be overrun by testosterone. I knew what I was [...]

Let’s Fantasize About Fall

I could use a little reality escape from this heat (by the way, just got back from the pool where we waded around in 90 degree water and Kendall insisted on shoving every toy of his into the water intake- FUN TIMES!).
Let’s think about Halloween. It is only 2.5 months away, and if this were [...]

Satan’s Playground

Allow me to be dramatic.
Like you have a choice. Like you EVER have a choice.
It is so hot here I want to curl up and stuff myself in the refrigerator, hoping to drift off to sleep like a ladybug. (Have you ever seen those refrigerated bags of ladybugs they sell at gardening stores that wake [...]
