big eater

Last night we decided to go out for dinner. Freya has always been great in restaurants, thank goodness. We went to one of our favorite spots, Mor Mor, known for its local gourmet food. A year ago we were still bringing her puree pouches and little bags of Cheerios out to restaurants, but she has […]

nesting

I am either nesting, or under a hard deadline for Freya to be in her own bedroom. A bit of both. Anyway we’ve been slacking for a while on getting her room ready for her and I decided early April is when it will be fully painted, furnished, and ready for her to sleep in. […]

mainstream

We’ve been going to a “gymnastics” class on Tuesdays. It’s pretty much a bunch of two and three year olds running around like maniacs on the various stations: balance beam, rope swing, tumbling mats, and a short bar to swing on. Freya is the only girl. I assumed a gymnastics class would be full of […]

mommy milk

Last night Freya and I were laying in bed and she said, “Is there any mommy milk?” She last nursed on Christmas day. We stopped because pregnancy was causing excruciating pain when she nursed, as well as a lowered supply. Also we were at the point where she only nursed to go to bed, which […]

sweet

Freya sits on her potty chair, holding her big teddy bear in her lap. “I’ve got you, I’ve got you,” she says soothingly, over and over. She carries the bear to our leather ottoman, then finds her yellow baby blanket and spreads it over the bear, tucking her in. Lately she has been all about […]

winter continues

The dog started barking at quarter to two this morning, waking me up from a dream. She went back to sleep, but I was awake for over three hours. I really don’t know when I went back to sleep, but it was close to 5am I think. Heartburn has been terrible. Stabbing pain under my […]

VBAC

Last night I was awake in bed, as insomnia is part of pregnancy, and I started to visualize the way I want the birth of my next child to proceed. I tried to picture it all, including the pain, perhaps the uncertainty, but also the carrying on, and then the pushing. I saw myself perhaps […]

seven weeks

Having a shitty cold at the same time one gets pregnant kind of complicates things, makes pregnancy symptoms harder to distinguish, and all around sucks. But this cold seems to FINALLY, after four weeks, be leaving me. Also getting pregnant at the onset of winter kinda sucks too — it’s dark and cold and damp […]

here we go again!

I’ve had this shitty cold for like three weeks, though it seems to now finally be fading. Last week, in the throes of snot and fatigue and coughing (which synced up perfectly with Freya’s birthday, a visit from her Grandma Sandy, and Halloween) I started feeling sick in my stomach, too. I attributed it to […]

autumn

It has been a perfect October so far, I hope that our indian summer holds out for two more weeks. Yesterday was positively balmy, the sun shining extra-bright from its position low in the sky. We went downtown to enjoy the weather in the afternoon, met up with Evan and Christina and let the two […]
