Yesterday morning, not five minutes after the Geek left the house to go to work, Mr. Happy crawled for the first time! Just a little one-two crawl, then he face-planted. But still! He crawled! He did the same thing a little later in the day, just before the Geek got … Continue reading
We’re all better in the Casa now, except for one little sick-time hangover: our schedule is totally shot! Don’t get me wrong; we were never terribly precise about our routine…but we did HAVE a routine. The kids and I usually got up between 7:00-7:30 a.m., Mr. Happy would usually take … Continue reading
When the Geek and I were ‘trying’ to get pregnant with Mr. Charm, I was busy counting calories to be the healthiest I could be before getting preggo. Consequently, I KNEW I was pregnant before I ever had a test when I finished work one night in Raleigh, NC, got … Continue reading
Whew. What a rough two weeks here at the Rocking Casa. First I lost my voice, then an FPIES reaction, then the stomach bug from hell (and another minor FPIES reaction, but it’s all over now). Stick a fork in me; I’m done! So the question came to my mind: … Continue reading
Just a quick update on matters here at the Cradle Rocking Household. We’re sort of on the upswing, but MAN this stomach bug has Wiped.Us.Out. And did you know? When my kids are sick – they get whiny? I hate whiny. We’ve been glamorously sitting around in various degrees of … Continue reading
Friday morning, Mr. Happy had a diaper FILLED with blood. It was so acidic, it instantly burned his butt, leaving blisters and raw, bleeding open wounds in it’s wake. I seriously thought I was going to cry. Which just proves that my son is far tougher than I am, because I … Continue reading
I lost my voice on Tuesday night. At 6:00 p.m., I was chatting away on the phone, and by 10:00 p.m., I could hardly eke out a whisper. Don’t know why – my throat was sore and it felt like fire when I swallowed, but I didn’t have any other … Continue reading
I’ll take “duh” for $1000, Alex! So, I mentioned how Mr. Charm was begging for a vitamin last week, and how I had to say no because it had sugar in it. Well, I decided that, since it was Thanksgiving, I’d work on a few ‘treats’ for Mr. Charm to … Continue reading
Recently I shared some ‘before’ and ‘after’ pictures of my amazing weight loss with my online Mommy friends (from the Parenting Weekly monthly birth club group I joined when I was pregnant with Mr. Charm – yes, three years later and we’re still an active group!) and they were impressed … Continue reading
Last weekend Mr. Charm had a poopy diaper that looked a little odd. I couldn’t quite tell if it was mucous or blood. Or both. So, I pulled out our handy-dandy stool testing kit and put it to use. Yup. Blood. Nothing has ever caused Mr. Charm to have blood … Continue reading
