Happy Mother Days!

Sun, 12 May 2013 20:48:42 -0400

Today is my 1st Mothers Day! Wooo. Hubs gave me an awesome gift card to our local spa for Mothers Day! He rocks!!

Now that my little guy is sleeping, I can say that I was pretty successful at breastfeeding today. What a great feeling. I need to remember this day when I get bummed out and frustrated with nursing in the future. I tend to get really anxious and worried around 8 or 9 every night. (Fatigue related I’m sure) Breast feeding has not been easy for me, but my baby is just over 6 weeks now, and hopefully we are syncing up with this finally.

I am loving our little boy more everyday.

I still new to write up that birth story….

Pete Holmes: you son of a bitch.
Anthony Jeselnik: I think that's the meanest thing I've ever said to somebody.

Not even close, I adore this video. It always cheers me up on a bummer day.

I love JV. He makes me ridiculous happy.

I’m 8 to 9 days late with my 1st. I really hope the full moon coming tomorrow starts my labor. I really feel like I have been pregnant for forever now.

Aurora World 10” Dolphin Puppet

Perfect for Human Resources Professional

A great way to distance yourselves from your fellow employees when you need to have hard conversations.

Somebody having relations with other people’s fridge lunches? Talk it out with that pita predator via the protective and nurturing guise of a 10” dolphin hand puppet.

One employee baby crazy, another heading into the Danger Zone? Hash it out in HR mediation, using this puppet.

Propositioning a co-worker? Avoid embarassment - use the puppet.

Awesome for sexual harassment complaints so dolphins can non-verbally indicate where stuff happened on their bodies.

Best part about the Aurora World 10” Dolphin hand-puppet is it’s soft, plushy exterior, in case an employee decides to use it as a weapon.

Could not recommend this puppet higher.

…wait scratch Pita Predator, go with Food Rapist.

Yes! Must buy this.

saw this on Post Secret this am. It’s true, and at 33, I am only doing slightly better.

I think the biggest leap I have made from 22 to 33 is understanding that I don’t have to have it figured it out, i just have to be comfortable in my own skin. It’s okay to let your ideals evolve, it’s part of growing up.

1 week in the new place, almost fully cooked, 12 years together

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 12:02:39 -0500

We been in our new place for 1 week & starting to feel settled in a bit. Still have lots more to go, thankfully we have Monday off for Presidents Day.

I am now 36 weeks pregnant, hard to believe our little guy will be here in a few short weeks. Still so much to do with getting ready.

Also hard to believe, but me & hubs have been together (& living together) for 12 years as of Vday. #whendidigetold?

New house

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 23:46:32 -0500

1st night in our new house. Feels surreal. Thankfully the unpacking will be way less stressful then the packing, moving out and selling process was.

This preggo is exhausted after the long crazy week that lead up to this, but so glad we pulled it off.
