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”

Parenting means constantly building things

Not sure about everybody else, but I feel like I’m constantly building something for my baby. We did get a lot of hand me downs, which was great and a huge moneysaver. BUT, it did sometimes mean putting things together without instructions. Like a baby swing…luckily I was able to find a manual online, butContinue reading “Parenting means constantly building things”

Funny moments in parenting: Good mom, not as good wife??

Parenting has some pretty tough moments – sleepless nights (and days), crazy messes, and more. But it also comes with a lot of laughs. Sometimes, at the expense of the hubs. To be fair, there are other times, he’s laughing at (not with) me too! For instance, the other day, the hubs had Goober onContinue reading “Funny moments in parenting: Good mom, not as good wife??”

Superstitions about Pregnancy and Baby

I’m going to start off with the disclaimer that I don’t believe in superstitions. I DO find them interesting however. Like, if your baby does the downward dog pose, it means he’s “looking for a sibling” (aka you’ll get pregnant soon). I just thought it was cute he was doing a yoga pose. The questionContinue reading “Superstitions about Pregnancy and Baby”

Unselfconscious Parenting

So I’ve discovered that you gotta have a strong sense of self-image if you’re going to be a parent. A baby is going to find all your “problem” spots and target it. Generally, I just find it hilarious, but I can definitely see how others might not! For example, a few weeks ago, I’m layingContinue reading “Unselfconscious Parenting”

Resources for Parents

Interestingly enough, although I don’t really use it now besides as a hobby and keeping up on scientific news, I have a science undergraduate degree. My hubs has an engineering one. You can guess that the combination of those two means that we read and researched A LOT during pregnancy and even now. Honestly, it’sContinue reading “Resources for Parents”

Parenthood, Then and Now

I sometimes sit and think about how different parenting is now versus when my parents raised me. Sometimes, I wonder if it’s harder now or before. Now, there’s a lot more at your fingertips, thanks to the internet, but I feel like there are so many rules too! I’m someone who loves to read andContinue reading “Parenthood, Then and Now”
