Over Labor Day weekend my SIL and brother announced they are pregnant with baby #2! My nephew was born 4 months after Cora was so it will be exciting to be graced with a new baby to sniff and snuggle in this family. I knew they were having a bunch of sex trying for another baby [...]

Baby Brother
I've mentioned before that part of my coming around to the possibility of having another baby has a lot to do with Cora wanting one. Since our big baby talk, it is like she KNOWS something we don't. This kid has been relentless, on a daily basis, asking about a baby brother. Not sister, brother. [...]
Second baby conversations
I've made it pretty clear, here and in my real life, I have really not been up to the idea of a second baby. I have never said never but I have certainly not been in the camp of wanting to go for a second. I haven't had that pull and I have certainly had [...]
The day my baby had a baby

I will never buy another baby "outfit" because mamma isn't going to wrangle baby into a four piece, uncomfortable outfit, to [...]
Parenting: It gets easier

I don't second guess myself as much. All of this makes for a happier and calmer mamma. I feel like we are getting somewhere. As we are [...]
18 Months
To the shortest one in the house, We just started letting you watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and you love it. Just a few minutes in the morning and it helps me get everything ready to go. The funny thing is you call it the "puppies" show. You wake up asking for puppies and point to [...]
