The first two times Freya had vaccinations, it was horrifying. I honestly thought she might die. They were just awful. The third time, we missed a vaccine because it was too close to the second dose, and we asked for Tylenol at the time of the vaccines. It went significantly better ( Read more... )

Okay. Here's where the exhaustion starts setting in--not because I'm not getting more than 7 hours of sleep a night. I usually do. But, I haven't slept deeply in more than a week now. Freya's been waking up every hour or two hours to nurse or fidget or diaper change. What this means for me is that I'm being subjected to sleep torture--every time I ( Read more... )

I need to write these two recipes down somewhere, but I don't feel like writing them down physically (waste of paper, honestly), so I'll post them here where I can get to them easily ( Read more... )

Brian: "Wait, you want me to treat you for your good deeds...by taking you to ARBY'S?"

Athena: "I have low standards."

Brian: "I have coupons!"

Reading AnnaTheRed's blog for the past two weeks or so, detailing her trip to Japan (where she got engaged! O_O), has renewed my strong wish to visit Japan. Once again I've been looking into prices, and one thing I have definitely decided upon is that no matter WHAT, we must not visit during the spring/summer. Yes, it would be awesome prettiness ( ( Read more... )

I know that a lot of people dig Seattle. And I know that we weren't there for very long, and we didn't have someone who knew the city with us, and so on and so forth. Heck, when we were planning the Great Western Migration, Seattle was nearly equal with Portland when we were looking for jobs/places/etc. In the end, we decided that since no one had ( Read more... )

Okay. Okay. The excitement is too much. I must post ( Read more... )
