One of the saddest parts of enrolling Brandon in daycare was the thought of his milestones occurring there, without me to witness them. I begged him to save all the firsts for evenings and weekends when I was there to see him. I tried to force him to roll over at two and a half... Continue Reading →
adoption documentary
There is a new documentary on Oxygen called "I'm having their baby."If you're adopted, a birth mom, an adoptive parent, or someone who is interested in the process, watch it. It is heart-wrenching.The opening segment says there are 6 million pregnancies in the U.S. every year. 3 million are unplanned. And 14,000 births result in... Continue Reading →
black and bumbo is back
Brandon is his recalled Bumbo chair. And skull and crossbones sleep n' play because he's a bad ass. Have I ever bitched about how they don't have any baby clothes in black? They don't. I've found all of four black baby-size clothes over the last year. And I've bought them all. Black is my favorite color. But... Continue Reading →

Today Brandon is four months old. When did my baby get so big? See for yourself: Lately he has been either really happy or really pissed off. I blame it on the teething. I can't get enough of his adorable little face. I could stare at it all day.
Brandon learns to make noise
It's official. We are a family with home videos. I know those families get a lot of shit, but back off. My child will be able to see what he acted like when he was a baby. And I'm sure he's going to love seeing himself on the tv, seeing how much he loves himself... Continue Reading →

blast from the past
Today I found my first blog post ever. It was a livejournal account that I completely forgot about and assumed closed itself down. I didn't know livejournal still existed. I thought it closed down once myspace and Facebook took over people rambling on about themselves. But this morning, I received a nice surprise in my... Continue Reading →
