Let's try this again...

2008-05-07T11:50:08Z

As I type, I'm running the first of many month-end reports. I was sent home yesterday because my boss thought I looked too sick to be at work, so I (obviously) didn't get a chance to do any of my work. Blech. The plus side is that I got a good na...

Time Change (or, Why I needed a real latte this morning...)

2008-03-10T18:41:13Z

Normally, I have a hot chocolate in the mornings with just a splash of coffee. It's enough caffeine to keep me going until about 4, and by then, a simple walk around the office is enough to perk me up again. But today... Baby C is teething. And, ...

Let's try something new...

2008-02-14T20:42:25Z

I just realized that my sleep (or lack thereof) may be directly affected by my late-morning beverage of choice. I don't drink a lot of coffee. I drank it like a fiend when I was in college (and mastered the art of the Iced Banesso - I may post th...

Not a good combination

2007-09-12T06:15:16Z

This morning, Baby C is not a happy baby. He's sleepy, hungry, and congested, which is not a good combination. Any attempts to alleviate some congestion (namely, the giant green bulb aspirator) have been met with screams of terror. Any attempts to...

What a difference a day makes (and a change of perspective, too)

2007-08-12T09:21:10Z

Two nights ago, I never would have thought it possible. No, Baby C is not sleeping through the night (yet). I really think that would be this side of miraculous if he did it - literally - in one night. But he's sleeping now in 3 - 4 hour stretche...

Sleeping like a baby (or not)

2007-08-11T06:05:37Z

I have to thank everyone who commented on my last post about my non-sleeping baby with words of encouragement - and reminders that other moms (besides my own and my husband's) have gone through this, too. Bolstered with this new confidence, I dus...

Crow: Best served cold with a side of humility and a glass of realism

2007-08-09T08:49:06Z

One thing I insisted I would never, never, never do once the baby came was allow him to sleep in my bed. And then the baby came. And, after a shaky start, I got him back in his room without a good deal of drama. But then I went back to work and ...

Wide awake at 3 AM

2007-07-03T16:38:06Z

I love Baby C. He cracks me up. Since he's still not sleeping through the night (he still wakes up hungry every two to three hours) and hasn't quite started storing up his poops for one gigantic explosion one day (and he may not ever do it - not ...

"Where is the baby's head?"

2007-06-09T12:57:51Z

I don't know what I was dreaming about last night. I do know that the work week finally caught up with me and I was exhausted. So, last night around 12:30, when Baby C started to cry, I sat up looked around frantically, then asked my husband, "Whe...
