<chirp chirp chirp> That’s the sound of the crickets chirping in the silence of the last week here at Cradle Rocking Mama. I’ve been, as they say, out of pocket. And out of my mind, but that’s starting to seem all too typical! So, to ease any concerns I’m going … Continue reading
It’s no secret I have a love/hate relationship with doctors. (See this, this, this, this and this for evidence.) I’d go so far as to say that if you are a doctor I have dealt directly with, there is only about a 5% chance that I have neutral feelings about … Continue reading
Do you know one of the worst things about FPIES? It renders you completely helpless. Impotent. Yesterday I changed 8 bloody, mucousy, smelly diapers for Mr. Happy. He screamed in pain immediately after pooping each time; by the end of the day, he was screaming in pain on the … Continue reading
“Early to bed, and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.” I always thought that was Ben Franklin’s original thought, but when Googling to make sure I was remembering correctly I stumbled upon Mama Lisa, who corrected her own Ben Franklin assumption with the evidence showing this … Continue reading
Oh, blood. I never thought Motherhood would bring so much blood into my life. Yesterday Mr. Charm’s first poopy diaper of the day had visible blood in it. As I’ve stated before, that has only ever happened for him if he consumes dairy. So I called the Geek at work … Continue reading

Maybe nothing really does change on New Year’s Day. But it’s a good time to take a look at the changes that have occurred over the previous year. Mommy Wants Vodka, a hilarious, terribly off-color blog I read to bring some adult laughter into my days, does one meme and one … Continue reading
Every year, Thanksgiving Thursday comes and goes and I enjoy one blissful day off on Friday. I sit around with the family, do nothing but eat leftovers, watch movies, play games, and enjoy the company. Because come Saturday? Christmas begins. We get out the Christmas Tree, I crank up my … Continue reading
I stepped on the scale at some point after the latest sickness had hit me. 123. One hundred and twenty-three freaking pounds. That’s a FULL 67 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. It’s a sizeable drop of fifteen pounds in less than two days, as well. TWO DAYS. FIFTEEN POUNDS. If … Continue reading
So Friday afternoon, I was sort of feeling…unwell. I should have known something was up; my patience with the kids was at an all time low for both Thursday and Friday, and that usually indicates Bigger Problems on my end. The Geek got home from work, and I basically don’t … Continue reading
