As with every month, it feels crazy typing out that it’s already been [insert however long it’s been] amount of time. We’re only four months away from having a one year old… what?!? I’ve already been thinking about the theme for her first birthday and how we’ll have to likely plan around COVID. But, I…
Read MoreOfficially past the 1/2 a year mark…as I said last month, some days I feel as if it has flown by and others I feel as if it’s hard to believe it’s only been 7 months. I feel that way about COVID too sometimes. We’ve had lots of “newness” in the past month… from first…
Read More1/2 a year. I don’t believe it. I still call her a newborn in conversation, because it doesn’t seem like it has been that long. I think this is partly because of how long my maternity leave was. I’ve mentioned this before, but at Facebook, we have a generous 6 month leave policy post-baby and…
Read MoreOne more month in the books for Vaeda’s life. I waffle between “Oh, wow she’s already 5 months old!” and “How is she only five months old?” Some days it seems like it’s been such a long time she entered our lives and others, it seems like we just left the hospital. This past month…
Read MoreDespite being in a pandemic and stuck at home, the time still seems to fly by. Here we are at month 4 and once again, I have no idea how it’s been this long. It’s weird, too, because in certain context it seems like soooo much time has passed whereas in others, it seems like…
Read MoreWhew. Month 3 was a doozy and this may be a long one! I am thankfully writing this update from the couch as Vaeda refuses to take a nap in the other room, which is much better than the PICU at our local Children’s hospital. Month three held a lot of sleepless nights (and not…
Read MoreAnother month has passed in The Great Quarantine of 2020 and our little one is also another month older. She doesn’t know much different… because she’s a baby… but, we do. While I wouldn’t necessarily have been parading her around town anyway because I’m pretty cautious about germs before 3-6 months, I definitely would have…
Read MoreWe resisted the cold front for nearly 2.5 years… and then… it hit our household hard. We spent a solid 3 months watching Frozen everyday. We actually don’t watch THAT much TV in our house, as in we aren’t that family that always has cartoons on in the background, but one Saturday we turned it…
Read MoreIf you’ve followed along for a few years, then you know I did monthly update for the first year of Tinsley’s life (our first daughter). I am so glad I did that because it’s a digital capsule of all those memories and experiences we were going through at that time, which have definitely faded as…
Read MoreWhen I sat down to write Tinsley’s birth story, I was shocked I was even in a position to do so… I never thought I would have kids and here I am sitting down to type up a second birth story. Funny how things change. It’s interesting with a second child… I definitely wasn’t as…
