Cotton Babies online diapering store is having a great Black Friday sale on BumGenius one sized pocket diapers. These diapers tend to get rave reviews. I don’t have any but just ordered several for night time diapering because we have been finding that going longer stretches leaves Michaela sopping wet for far longer than we [...]

Well it took a few days to get this post publish ready. :) Poor Michaela caught a cold this week and has been snuffling and not feeling so great. It is really hard on mommies to see their little ones sick! I can’t believe next week she will be 6 WEEKS OLD! We go [...]

My mom gave Andrew and I an excellent book she had read and used years ago. It is called Peaceable Fruit by Gertrude Hoeksema. It is an older book but a jewel on parenting from pre-conception, pregnancy to the first 9 months and all the way through adolescence. I am still in the infant chapters but enjoying it much. There are so [...]

Andrew, Michaela and I have settled on a night routine that works for the three of us. Originally while pregnant I always said I would take care of Michaela all night long since Andrew would have to get up early for work. But since her arrival I have found out just how tired I get [...]

I just ordered three of these. (Just be sure to size up these run quite small!) I also recommend going for the “long” ones. I have two near to fall apart ones I received second hand. Why so many you ask? When I just got one from my parents for my birthday? Because you can [...]

Wow, I am tired.
Okay here are some pictures.
Taken this morning. The backdrop is the quilt my mother in law and sisters in law made for Michaela.
Just what is she thinking? Did I mention she is FEISTY and very verbal or should I say grunty/noisy!? You should hear her! It is adorable and hilarious simultaneously.
I have [...]

We had our 2 week check up a few days late last night and Michaela is 9lbs 4 oz already! She is a healthy little eater! We went out to eat for dinner in Topeka afterwards with my parents celebrating Michaela and my birthday. I had Thai salmon stir fry it was good and I was hungry [...]

Late at night after feeding Michaela I look down at her and trace her peaceful sweet chubby features. I study her contented face and watch as she falls quickly into a blissful sleep and listen to her little grunts and rythmic breathing. She clasps her tiny finger around my own and I am overwelmed with the preciousness of her life. [...]

Today Michaela is 2 weeks old and I turned quarter of a century old. I can’t believe all that has happened since last birthday! Andrew and I were about to be married in 2 months last year this time. We had dinner in Columbus at a sushi place. Mmm. My parents come in this afternoon and I can’t [...]
