Well…well…well. Just one more thing that everyone forgot to mention about having a baby. THAT ID GO BALD!
I’m aprox. 4 months post partum and I’d say I really started to notice that my edges where looking sparse around the 3.5 month mark.
Literally every time I touched my hair there were sad strands left behind in my hand, and brushing my hair in the shower was/is scary. Read More »
Post partum anxiety… Wait what? I’ve heard of post partum depression…We all have; but I hadn’t heard much, well anything about Post Partum Anxiety (PPA) until I started researching my symptoms.
I expected to have some baby blues which I was told would last about 2 weeks after having Ari and boy did I! I cried about everything, EVERYTHING. If I saw a picture of Ari I’d cry when I realized I’d have to supplement with formula I cried and cried. When I was still crying 8 weeks later I thought there was a problem. Read More »
As I sit here nursing my LO to sleep I’ve decided its time to get back to blogging, if for no reason other than to get my feelings out… therapy of sorts. So If it sounds like I’m rambling then I probably am 
Since Ari was born (3 months ago) I’ve been to heaven… hell…and back. We’ve moved twice, fueled partly by my Post Partum Anxiety/Depression. Anxiety would always hit me around the same time everyday, in the evening. I’d start crying no matter how hard I’d try to keep it in. I knew what the night had in store, and it wasn’t sleep. A friend reminded me that sleep deprivation is used as a form of torture and I can totally see why! Read More »
OH MY GOODNESS! I am actually able to sit here in front of my laptop and press buttons!! Unlike every other day for the last few weeks, Ari is comfortably napping on his own and not in my arms. Ari was staying up for 4+ hours at a time…falling asleep for a few minutes here and there but always a VERY light sleep; he would wake up crying and wanted to nurse continuously for comfort. My poor baby had tummy troubles.
Wow! Ari is two weeks old and I’ve been meaning to post something…anything at least a few times per week but my little man is running the show. He’s a natural born BOSS! Between taking care of Ari, conquering green slimy poop ( I was so excited to see yellow seedy poop again), a gassy tummy and family visiting the time just runs away from me! I’m loving being a mom, Ari is a dream and has already taught me a thing or two… Read More »
I’m in absolute love. Ari will be 3 days old today and I in no way could imagine life without him.
I just wanted to share a few pictures. I’ll share more details of his birth once we are all settled in.
Isn’t he cute!?
More pictures after the break!
Amazon…Amazon Prime…Amazon Mom; Everything AMAZON! I’ve been sucked in! One of the perks of Amazon Prime is that I have access to “free” instant videos (Movies, TV and Documentaries).
In the last few days DH and I have watched an array of documentaries about food, lots and lots of food. Vegucated (focuses on the Vegan lifestyle), Food, Inc. (gives the low-down on the food industry in America), Fat Sick & Nearly Dead (follows a man across the country while juice fasting for 60 days) and Forks Over Knives (reveals how and why a plant based diet has proven to be healthier).
Just let me say I’m sure some of my interest in the above is a part of my nesting… I’ve also been going around the house with a glass of bleach and tooth brush looking for any crevice that needs a scrub.
Now where was I?
Greg and I joined a small group this past August. If you’re not familiar with small groups its a group of people, usually within the same stage of life (In our case married couples with children) that meet weekly for bible studies, social events and to simply “do life” together over a 2 year period.
Its been a while since I’ve posted; which I find strange. I’m usually brimming with ideas or things I want to share, but now I’ve entered this place of…waiting, waiting, waiting. Instead of trying to come up with some clever topic I just going to keep it honest. I’m due in six days (wow six days!) and my body has been giving me signs (mucous plug & bloody show kind of signs) that it’s preparing for labor, and baby is still breech.
It’s the last day of 2012! Just the THOUGHT of a NEW year sends shivers up my spine! Good shivers that is; Jubilant joy!
I feel like I’m preparing for a blind date! I’ve been doing things like revamping my non-existent beauty regimen, picking up little treasures that I can wear on my date with Mr. 2013, i cant wait for him to arrive! I’m, day dreaming of the moment ill get to meet him…ahhh 2013!!!! Swoon
