Ah Ah Ah-Choo!

After four long months of waiting, we finally got in with the pediatric allergist yesterday.
And learned NOTHING.
Ok, we did learn something.  We learned that just because Oscar might have tested negative for peanuts, egg whites, egg yolks and shellfish, doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t have an allergic reaction when we feed it to him at [...]

It’s all about me.

Now that Oscar is almost one year old, I’m ready to start doing things for myself again.
*GASP*
The first year of his life, well, it was all about him.   And rightly so.  I mean, of COURSE it’s all about him, but what I’m trying to get at is that various choices and decisions we made simply [...]

Mooless in Vancouver

It’s coming close to Oscar’s first birthday.  Since I’m now a mom and he’s my son, I’m going to try to make his cake.  Cupcakes, actually.  And it’s a big deal for me.  I somehow lost all domestic inclination over the past few years.  So here I am, wanting to be this domestic goddess for [...]

Things you wish you didn’t know

I walked around the corner today only to find my cat, Chicken, up on the dining room table licking the BOWL OF PEANUTS.
FML.

So there ARE enough hours in the day!

But only when your child NAPS.

Sadness

Tonight I’m wondering if my two babies that didn’t make it will call me Mommy when I meet them again oneday.
Isn’t that sad?
Oh, my heart. 
I’m going in to give Oscar a hug and a kiss and just watch him sleep for a little while.

Secret Stash of Posts.

Wow, do I ever not have time to write these days.  But here are a few of the things in my Drafts folder:

Feelings about being pretty much attached at the hip with a little 8-month old 24/7.  No movies, no concerts, none of that right now.
A couple of posts on things I’ve found that I [...]

Sleep is for the weak.

I have a little boy who has stopped sleeping through the night and has taken a dislike to napping. 
Needless to say, I’m one busy (and tired) mama. Working hard to help him through this… and me! 
Will be back soon (I hope)!

To tv or not to tv.

Every day we’re hearing something new.  It’s ok for your baby to see a bit of the television, then it’s not ok.  Studies prove this, then studies prove that. 
Every expert has a different point of view.
And so be it, that’s just the way of the world. One day, we’ll know for sure.
Or not.
So when I [...]
