I used to read a woman on OpenDiary who posted her art, and it was really awesome drawings she did. She lived in the Netherlands, and she was also really nice. I miss her entries. I wish she was ...
(I apologize for not getting to all of my bookmarks, I’m always a busy bee). Today has been productive so far. I went to the post office before picking Cannon up from daycare and then went to the...
I'll pretend to be 14 again and do one of these... in --
What’s your favourite horror movie? I only like super old “horror” movies, like The Creature from the Black Lagoon and Godzilla. Godzilla counts. Whenever you hold a small, cute, furry animal, do...

Do you ever think about what a different life might have been like? I am constantly. It gets me through most days. It’s a left over trait I acquired from my daydreamer days. I used to live in my...
I had a 101 degree fever Saturday night that I couldn’t sleep through. THANK FUCK FOR THE ROCK AND PLAY, because Lorelei slept the entire night in it by herself and did three hours between feedin...
quick note in --
Lorelei had her one-month check-up on Friday. She is in the 75th percentile for weight (10 lbs 7 oz already!), and between 20 and 30th percentiles for height. We got her a rock and play, since I...
I woke up with a low grade fever this morning.Jacob is at a movie and I am dealing with a sick toddler who is screaming and an infant who is screaming. So this is fun.
I knew this would happen when school started back up... I'm always lonely and exhausted. Jacob is always working or busy, or some other thing. I would really love some time in which I do not have...
Just baby/kid stuff mostly. in --
Lorelei smiled at me today, but I can't tell if it was really deliberate or not. It was adorable either way! I still remember the first time Cannon did. :) He was around four weeks, which is how ...
After being awake since 4am (it is almost 7am), Lorelei just passed out in the middle of screaming her head off. It was kind of hilarious but maybe I think weird things are funny right now becaus...
I've had the busiest/most stressful week ever. Monday -- got my sister enrolled in school, which took the entire day, and having to drag a toddler and a newborn to it was not my idea of fun. Eve...
I wanted to write about something other than my kids but I didn't: in --
I really should be trying to sleep. Lor will be up soon, and maybe have an awake period. Usually when she does and it's nighttime I have her play in her bed until she puts herself back to sleep. ...
A scare, and mundane life. in --
On Wednesday I got a call saying that something with Lorelei's newborn screening came back abnormal. There was a level that came back elevated that could mean she had cystic fibrosis. We made an ...
I saw family I hadn't seen in two years today and I met my biological grandma for the first time. it was nice. I like that we have had family around so much lately, but I know everything will set...
I forgot to write about a funny incident that occurred last week. Jacob was taking Lorelei to the bedroom to change her, and he wasn't wearing a shirt. Well, she managed to latch on to Jacob. Hah...
Lorelei just melts me. I cannot stop smelling her and I want to hold her and snuggle her all day. She is a super awesome baby too. She is a champion nurser, easy to get to sleep, sleeps through e...
We got home from the hospital on Wednesday, and Lorelei had an appointment yesterday with a pediatrician. Everything looks god, she's perfectly healthy. She has lost 7% of her birth weight, which...
Happy Birthday (yesterday), Lorelei! in Baby Stuff
So yesterday I finally fell asleep at around 5.30am. I woke up at 6.30am with a contraction. I wasn't able to sleep through them, they came on strong and painful, between every three to five minu...
hmm in Baby Stuff
Having painful contractions... I have only gotten like an hour of sleep, otherwise I would be happy about this. ;p I can't sleep through one, and it doesn't go away when I change positions, so ...
sex... or lack thereof. in --
I have been crying a lot because I am really dissatisfied and frustrated sexually. I don't remember the last time we had sex. I guess it was within the past two or three months. I remember it, I ...
39/40 weeks in Baby Stuff
Today is my due date, according to my LMP and my doctor. I am going by both of my ultrasounds, which measured Baby as being a week behind the original due date, and I know I ovulated later than "...
Thank goodness for those Say Yes to Cucumbers face wipes! I've been using them for awhile now when I can't wash my face twice a day (thanks, exhaustion..). They are good for taking off make-up to...
whine whine whine in --
I am SO irritated today. I woke up grumpy and it hasn't gone away. I just want to lay around and do nothing with no one bugging me, which is exactly what I've done today. Except that I have a tod...
Cannon's eval in --
Cannon had his in-home evaluation today. He qualified for speech services, so we will be getting that going soon. It started out badly though, because 20 minutes before they were scheduled to arr...
38 weeks in Baby Stuff
I had an appointment today, and I'm still 1 cm with no progress otherwise. I'm not really surprised. I haven't had any contractions, just a lot of pressure when she is laying certain ways. I'm st...
