my computer is finally up and running, even if it is temporarily positioned on Abby's desk instead of mine. Mine didn't survive the move. Not because of anything the movers did wrong (it isn't broken or anything). I just can't get the screws figured out, and some of the cams got screwed up, and it just doesn't want to go together tightly again ( Read more... )

So, Dan and I have been going around in circles for weeks now about how to get the kids on an earlier schedule than they have been on for the last few months, in the hopes that we might get some time for ourselves and for him to focus more on school. The schedule the kids have been on, up until a few days ago, has been approx 2am bedtime and approx ( Read more... )

My baby boy is one month old!
Incredible...

Well, we took Aidan to the doc today for a sick visit. Yesterday, I noticed that the fontanelle on top of his head was sunken in. Usually a sign of dehydration, which can be very very bad for a teeny tiny baby. I was not surprised to see him get dehydrated with how much he has been spitting up in recent weeks (though the spitting up has improved ( Read more... )

As some of you may recall, when I was nursing Abby, she had a lot of tummy problems due to extreme sensitivities to certain foods in my diet that were affecting her through my milk. I had to give up many many things to keep her little tummy from getting all gassy and bloated and to keep her from constant vomiting and discomfort -- all forms of ( Read more... )
