It’s Been A Long Week

I don’t usually post about my husband but I figured at least one person might wonder why I haven’t been very active lately.  A few weeks ago my husband went for his yearly work physical and it was discovered that he had a small hernia.  He knows when it happened and it was work related. He didn’t realize it was a hernia but once the Dr. told him it was, it suddenly started hurting. lol.…

Time For Daycare?

Well, it pangs me to even type this but as of recently I’ve been thinking more and more that it might be time to put Vincent in a daycare for at least 1 day a week.  Someone else first made the suggestion, which I wasn’t too happy about because it wasn’t made directly to me and the reasoning was that it would help Vincent develop social skills.  Well… he has plenty of social skills!  He’s…

Battle Of The Mommy Buldge

So, some of you know (if you follow me on twitter) that many months ago I broke down and bought a Wii and a Wii Fit. It was a pretty big purchase for me because I normally NEVER spend that much money in one go. I always have a hard time justifying spending any money really.

In the beginning things moved so slow and I never could have imagined that by 1 year my son would be…

A Letter To My Son On His First Birthday

Dear Vincent, For 9 long months it was just you and I.  I held my belly each night wondering who was inside there, what you looked like  and how I would feel when I finally got to meet you.  Would I be a good mother? Would we love each other instantly?  Then 1 year ago today my life changed forever.  After a pain that only a mother can know you arrived into this world at…

I’m So Glad The Holidays Are Over

Phew…. although the holidays were made a lot brighter for me this year due to it being my son’s first Christmas I have never been so glad that they were over. I single handedly wrapped all but one gift. That’s 9 people in my husbands family, 5 in mine and then all the gifts for the baby! I delivered a package to the post office in one hand w/ a baby in the other during…
