Cutting Hair with Pregnancy Brain

So this actually happened yesterday, but thought I’d share… It was more of a Monday for me than usual. I spent way too long looking for my work laptop, because I had placed it on top of a dresser to hide it from my son..but then forgot about it. Then I was looking for myContinue reading “Cutting Hair with Pregnancy Brain”

Who wore it better? Baby or Adult?

I realized something the other day as I was walking in to work from my garage – there’s a few things now that are popular that must’ve been inspired by baby clothing! The item I’m thinking of in particular are baby onesies. Have you ever thought about how women’s bodysuits are basically baby onesies? Don’tContinue reading “Who wore it better? Baby or Adult?”

Miscarriage after Termination

So I haven’t written for a while. It’s been a lot of getting used to having a toddler in the house, balancing going back into work physically, and dealing with my mental health. Trigger warning: miscarriage and termination for medical reasons will be mentioned/discussed. Ironically, writing helps my mental health – but I really needContinue reading “Miscarriage after Termination”

“Modern” Magnetic Key Rack

My husband and I finally got tired of going “hey, have you seen my keys?!” before running out the door. We’ve discussed key racks before but never made it a priority. After all, when you had to redo carpets, then tile, then appliances, then fireplaces..etc. etc. – you get the idea – trying to chooseContinue reading ““Modern” Magnetic Key Rack”

Prolific Pee-er

So I’ve decided my kid is a prolific pee-er. We’re finally at the point where he’s starting to sleep through the night…EXCEPT when he pees himself. The crazy part? We already have him in a nighttime diaper that’s a size up, add in one of my overnight period pads (Sposie pads DID NOT work forContinue reading “Prolific Pee-er”

How to Find a Car Seat

So I found what I think is a great resource that I wanted to share for other parents. There’s a place to look up recommendations from experts regarding car seats! And sorry, just because you’re a parent, I don’t think you’re an expert. The organization is call Car Seats for the Littles. These people areContinue reading “How to Find a Car Seat”

I Don’t Want to Be Strong

You know how sometimes you’re going through something, and people will say encouraging things in an effort to help, but it really doesn’t? That happened a few times to me in the last month. One of the things that I know is supposed to be encouraging is the whole “you’re so strong to be ableContinue reading “I Don’t Want to Be Strong”

Ultrasounds suck at diagnosing things

Ultrasounds have got to be one of the first things that really make it feel real that you have a baby in you. I definitely get excited when you get that first ultrasound. However, I keep running into issues with my blood tests showing issues with the baby. They always try to do an ultrasoundContinue reading “Ultrasounds suck at diagnosing things”

French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese bread

I’m a stress baker, and it’s a good distraction. So the weekend after I received the horrible news about my baby, I spent it trying two new recipes: French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese Bread. Neither came out perfect, and one definitely came out better than the other, but it was nice for a distraction.Continue reading “French Toast Casserole and Brazilian Cheese bread”

Miscarriage/TFMR: My Story and Resources

I debated not posting two “sad” posts in a row, but decided that that paints a fake story of my life and what I go through. Sometimes, you do go through bad periods of depression, and that’s ok. Trigger warning – this post is about having to end my pregnancy for medical reasons. I’ll startContinue reading “Miscarriage/TFMR: My Story and Resources”
