To all readers in the United States, Happy 4th of July (and to everyone else, I hope your day is happy too, just not for the same reasons!)
Here I am at 36 weeks and 3 days of pregnancy. The baby has dropped even more than it looked in this picture, and I feel like she […]

Me: Ooh, my hip hurts!
Me2: And my arm is asleep!
Me3: And I have to go the bathroom!

Me3: And my bladder! It’s squishing my bladder!
Me: Stop whining and stand up.
Me2: Oooph.
Me3: I’m up! I hope […]

This morning my three-year-old lavished my pregnant belly with kisses for her little sister. I can see her mind working through the fact that there will be a new baby in our lives sometime soon. She stated with great certainty, “The baby will sleep.” (I hope better than you did, sweetie!) I know I cannot […]

Welcome to the latest Carnival of Breastfeeding: What’s so funny about breastfeeding? Breastfeeding humor is one of my favorite topics. In the past I have had a lot of fun with the silly search engine terms people use to end up at Breastfeeding 1-2-3. Time for another installment! For more breastfeeding funnies, check out the […]

Resolved:
1. Not to take out my contact lenses for bedtime before I find my darn eyeglasses for reading bedtime stories.
2. Not to do anything incriminating (like, say, shave my nipple hairs) in front of my three-year-old, who will promptly give me away–loudly–to anyone who will listen.
3. Not to let the Cheerios littering the floor of […]
