Heaven Is a Little Closer Now

My husband and I have been trying for another baby. We are so madly in love with our first (Virgil) and it only seems fitting to add another little angel like him to the mix. He will make an awesome big brother. So when I found out last month that I was pregnant, I was stoked. I had a sense that I was pregnant a week and a half before I finally tested positive. Starving, nauseous, tired, cranky, crampy - all the regular symptoms. I took a pregnancy test the day I was supposed to have gotten my cycle, but

A Day in the Life

"A Day in the Life..." My favorite Beatles song and the subject of today's entry. Okay so it's really not a post about a day in my life... I just thought of it, thought it was clever, and chose to name my entry for today after it. After all, what's in a name? I thought it might be interesting to share what has been the most challenging aspect of parenting so far, and what has been the least challenging. My son turned nine months old yesterday and I must say, it has been a surprising journey. I suppose the most

I know I have a lot of lessons to learn. But last night was definitely a lesson I can check off the list. That lesson? NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT INFANT TYLENOL.

At about 10, I went to bed because I knew he'd probably wake

Milestones

Today Virgil is 8 months, 12 days old. So many milestones, so little time. I wish I would have started this blog when he was younger because so many amazing things have happened since that day. First roll over (in the hospital, seriously). First flu (not quite 3 months old). First sitting up (5 months old). First crawl (7 months old). First time to pull up on something (two days ago). First tooth (two days ago). Okay so there has been more firsts than that, but at least you get the idea. Being a mom has been such an amazing

My Glamorous Life

I learned a good lesson today: white clothing and seven month olds do not mix. I am dressed up today. I have some goals to accomplish so I thought I'd spruce up the wardrobe and go for the sequins and a white shrug. The brilliance behind this is that I fed my son sweet potatoes and corn for lunch. Orange puke does not an accessory make, or at least not a pretty accessory. Sufficient to say, on the way out the door, I picked up my son while wearing my fancy outfit and thought, "I better put a towel over
