It seems like every time I hop on social media one of my peers is announcing their pregnancy. We’re moving out of wedding season and into baby season. So this one goes out to all of the moms-to-be.***Disclaimer: I’m no pro, but there are a few things I wish I’d known before my daughter made …
No, I didn’t throw a half birthday party for my Sugar Plum Princess, but she did wear a dress and a headband for perhaps the second time in her life. Solid effort, Mom! She doesn’t seem to mind headbands, so I might start throwing them around that noggin more often so people stop calling her …
My mom underwent a routine hysterectomy on October 18, 2016. As far as I knew, it went well. Skylar’s due date was November 25, but I knew that was way off, so I told my folks to plan on driving westward around November 20. But Sky came into the world like a freight train on Wednesday, November …
I’m not positive, but I’m 99 percent sure we’re in a really magical stage of Skylar’s beautiful life. She “talks” a lot, sings herself awake in the mornings, sleeps through the night (well, it’s happened twice), is generous with her contagious smiles, and is showing no signs of wanting to be mobile (totally fine by …
Holy mackerel, less than a month has passed since I last wrote! Things must be getting better over here. Not that they were ever rotten, but I’m finally out of the newborn haze. But really, how do people do this with a toddler or two or three toddlers? How do you breastfeed and simultaneously make …
Amazing how slowly days seem to go with a new baby, yet how quickly they go when looking at my blog. I guess this blogging biz will remain just a monthly outlet until my Skylar becomes more predictable. There’s only so much I can spit out during her 10-minute to 3-hour-long naps. 🙂 What was …
On January 9, Skylar turned two months old. I laid her down on the faux sheepskin rug in the nursery (that room we’ve yet to use for sleepy time..) to snap that perfect monthly photo. As soon as she parted ways from my chest, her face crinkled up into that devastatingly-cute cry face. The pouty …
Alright, let’s see how long Skylar’s nap lasts…I’m on the clock! I’ve got heavy rain white noise YouTubed right now, so hopefully that’s just what Sky needs for some solid sleep. Speaking of solid sleep– this girl (me) got 7 hours basically straight last night! New Father of the Year, Matt Grevers, took the night …
It’s been exactly 65 hours since the most excruciating pain of my life; the most joyful day of my life. On Wednesday, November 9 I woke up with period-like cramps. Nothing severe, but something new for pregnancy. I walked three miles with a friend and her sweet one-month-old baby boy. The cramps persisted, but weren’t crippling. …
It’s officially BABY WATCH time in the Grevers household! It’s very difficult for me to focus on anything but signs of labor…but I need to because time is going by so….very….slow….ly. I feel like Halloween was a month ago, but it was a week ago. Wahhh. Speaking of Halloween, Matt and I take it seriously. …
