Emotional
This morning I forgot to take my sulpiride and got really emotional. It was like 3 pm and I couldn’t figure out why I was going out of my mind, wanting to scream at the baby for not going to slee...
His accomplishments
He has peed in the tub, crapped in the pool, puked all over me (and pretty much everyone in the family), bitchslapped the cat, pulled his aunt’s hair, scratched his own face, cried at his uncle o...
Middle of the day
Not the time I usually write, but Daniel’s sleeping. He’s been a very demanding baby today–dunno what’s wrong, but he’s pretty much crying all the time. Maybe teething? Who knows, poor thing. At ...
I don't really
Feel like writing, but I figure, what the hell. Just spent 2 hours putting Daniel down for the night. He was totally rebellious today, full of smiles and coos and chatter but definitely NOT going...
Nobody reads
Cos I don’t get any comments. Guess that’s what I get for being away for so long. Anyway, I’ll keep on writing, even if only for myself. Someday I’ll figure out how to post those pictures. Today ...
It's the Apocalypse!
Cos I’m writing again. Honestly, I’ll try to make a habit of writing more often. It’s probably gonna happen too… at least until I get back to work. My maternity leave ends in 5 days! OMFG!!! Wher...
Peek-a-boo!
Here I am! Albeit briefly. I have mixed feelings about posting an entry. On the one hand, I want to immortalize these moments forever, because I WILL forget it… and on the other hand, I’m such a ...
Hi and Bye
Shortest and fastest entry ever, while baby sleeps. Daniel is 3 months and I’m trying to encourage certain sleeping habits. So far so good… he’s sleeping through the night, bless him! Of course t...
Oh how time flies...
Again it’s been like 3 weeks. I can’t seem to get into the hang of things. For a while there I had more time to do stuff… but then inexplicably Daniel turned from a sweet, sleepy, easygoing baby ...
Wow...
Okay, so everyone told me having a newborn was a lot of work. No sleeping, hormone blues, crying, painful breastfeeding… and so forth and so on. But I didn’t really GET IT. Now I do. It’s A LOT O...
Daniel is here!
He came into my life unexpectedly last Thursday, at 37 weeks and 3 weeks ahead of Schedule (still considered full-term, thankfully). I didn’t see it coming at all. Went to bed Wednesday night aft...
Limited
I walked to pilates today (about 30 min), then did 60 min of actual pilates, walked 15 to the subway station, went to the closest mall … shopped for about two hours… and that was IT. Apparently I...
A damn fool
So today I went to the midwife for my first monitoring session, and Daniel did just fine. Then, on the way back, I dunno how I managed to get the side of my rear bumper stuck on this thing sticki...
Majorly knocked up
Things seem to be going ok with my knocked-up friend and my majorly knocked-up self. One of my faves said this might be the making of her, and I hope it will be. At least… so far, so good, and th...
People
I found out today one of my best Concepcion friends is pregnant. 6 weeks. I should be thrilled! Especially because she was so supportive of my pregnancy and my choices. But it was sort of a hard ...
Still on blessed maternity leave
I really, really needed it. This past week has been crazy, since I was packing up and moving back to Santiago (not with furniture and stuff, cos I’m staying at my parents’ for a while, but I stil...
On maternity leave!
Finally!! Oh man, these last few weeks, the day couldn’t come fast enough. I know it’s mostly psychological, that when you KNOW you’re close to the end you just want it to come faster… but still...
Sweeter than ever
So… it’s been 5 weeks since I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and 5 weeks since I went on this god-fearing diet. The first week was hard, afterwards I got used to it, and then this last ...
Work and the American Cup and Housework and Yoga
That’s basically my life. It’s been fun. Sometimes work gets a little overwhelming what with losing patients and psychiatric parents messing up their kids and Number One Fan being the occasional ...
Pointless?
I’m not really seeing the point of posting entries anymore… except for myself. Then again… isn’t that the WHOLE point? You write for yourself, and if others wanna read and note that’s fine, and i...
Funk is OVER!
Really–what the title says. Finally, after a very productive weekend, I’m finally over my funk. I feel ready to take on next week. Hope everything goes ok.
Uh
I’m feeling really disgruntled. Must be those pesky mood swings everyone keeps talking about. Just seems this whole week has been filled with nothing but criticism, judgment, misunderstandings an...
Still fighting
But not so desperately. On Monday we had assembly, and my neighbors, as usual, were being whiny Little bitches. All they do is rant, complain and criticize. Holy crap–if everything we do is so wr...
The Good Ol' Fight
After three weeks, I finally managed to get the crib finished today. I like playing carpenter and all–but it was a freakin nightmare. The parts all fit right except for these dumb little wooden p...
Too bad
Looks like my honeymoon period is over. I’ve got gestational diabetes :(. And my cholesterol and triglyceride levels are through the roof (305 to be exact, worst I’d ever had). I don’t get how my...
Book Description
I’m the opposite of a teenage mom. But things are just as new, just as exciting, and sometimes scary.
I won’t be writing just about pregnancy and baby stuff. I’ll talk a lot about life, work, friends, traveling… just like everyone else. I’ll do my best to find my old OD buddies. Miss them so much!
