    My Little Buffalo

Four attempts to break the water, 3 fantastic nurses, 2 epidurals…& a partridge in a pear tree.

I keep telling myself to sit down & tap out the birth story before I forget every moment or detail, to take a moment to savor every second of the entire experience. Fortunately for me (or unfortunately for curious readers!), I’ve had a wee little lad to learn & snuggle the past 6 days…& just [...]

Boy Meets World.

I’ve always gone for tall, dark, & handsome…but today, I lost my heart to a short little guy with platinum blonde locks. and who doesn’t love a classic picture where the paci is almost as big as the face?

I’ve never been so in love. After 18 hours of hard labor, Harrison Douglas arrived at 5:28am at a whopping 8 lbs, 4 oz and 21 inches with a head full of platinum blonde hair. He looks just like Nate & my heart may explode watching them together. Pictures & details to come tonight, but [...]

Praise God for the lunch break at Qdoba with [...]

When Momma said "Be careful what you wish for,"

I totally thought she was talking about the relationship between an all-you-can-eat monkey bread buffet & the subsequent 10 lbs on your left ass cheek. Or wishing your ex would come down with a venereal disease, only to find out that he did while cheating on you. (for those curious, the first was an actual [...]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaand….

nothing. nada. zilch. ::sigh:: I wanted this to be it so badly, but here I sit in bed feeling perfectly fine & normal while Nate snores beside me. Also, just as a side note…I’ve been getting laid every night for the past two weeks. Lack of sex is not the reason for my cervix not [...]

Tonight.

I have lots of pressure.Especially in my bum.But then I pooped.& the pressure got even worse.So we went for a walk.Did I mention that my back hurts?But no contractions.So we’re going to go get some spicy food.Which I will eat sitting on an exercise ball.While we watch the Office wedding. ::squeaaaa:: I would like to [...]

Here's your sign.

Because unless you’re doing drugs that make you hallucinate pregnant chicks, it’s obvious that I am “still here.” & unless there’s a new trend for mother’s to return to work the day after delivery, I have not had the child. Obviously. If the basketball under the shirt didn’t already scream that into your Spidey-senses.
