Hello from a rainy day on the couch. No school for Easter! Our little family had a fabulous weekend after a really tough week. I got some kind of food poisoning/stomach bug and ended up on the floor of the CVS minute clinic with a trash bag. Then it took a long time for me to recover. I think being sick while taking care of a baby is the hardest thing I’ve had to do since becoming a mom. Don’t’…

Hello! I’m sorry that it’s been a while. I’m sure you saw that the blog disappeared – I have no idea how I got hacked, but it was not pretty. Almost every file was corrupt, and after hiring one company that couldn’t fix it, I had to spend a small fortune to have the site cleaned from head to toe. Is there seriously someone who sits around and gets pleasure out of this kind of thing? Anyway, it was way…
Hello! We’re back from our spring break trip to MD and FL. Despite a few low points, we had a great time. Airplane travel went great with Emerson, but all three of us got a cold during the first half of the trip. Needless to say, sleep was difficult. We had a blast visiting Matt’s parents though, and enjoyed being able to relax at their house and catch up. My family even drove up for one night, so we had…
Spring break starts tomorrow. Woohoo! We’re going to visit Matt’s parents in MD, and then heading down to Florida for a few days of beachin’. I’m excited and nervous. Excited to see family and introduce Emerson to the ocean. Nervous to fly and find out how hard it really is to ‘vacation’ with a baby. I feel like I’ve been packing for days. Weeks, maybe? Matt has agreed to have all the baby stuff in his suitcase. This is a…
Hello! How about a day in the life post? My non-work days look a lot different than they used to…but I love it. It’s funny how I remember playing house and playing with dolls when I was little, and this is always how I imagined my adult life. Emerson pretty consistently cries or wakes up around 5:30 or 6, but if I feed her or bring her in bed with me, I can usually get her to sleep until about…
Hello! We had a fabulous weekend over here! My parents stopped in Dallas for a quick visit on their way back from Cabo. Matt, unfortunately, got stuck working in New York on Thursday and Friday, so it was nice to have some company. Thursday night, we strolled to the local pub and then I made an easy dinner with WF thai shrimp burgers. On Friday, my mom and I enjoyed our favorite pastime – the mall:) Emerson got a bunch…
Happy Valentine’s Day! I feel lucky to have two Valentines this year:) Poor Emerson has to get her 4 month shots today, which is not very fun on what is supposed to be a love-ly day. It’s cold and rainy here and it’s my day at home, so it’s nice to be warm and cozy inside. Matt and I celebrated over the weekend, but I’m going to make him a meatloaf tonight. I feel like such a 1950’s homemaker wife…
Whew. Life sure is a whirlwind these days. I’m back in the swing of things at work, but I’m still feeling tired with the early morning wake-ups. My days are a lot busier now that I’m only on campus 3 days a week – the time flies! I absolutely love being at home 2 days at week, and am SOO happy I asked for more flexibility. I really miss Em when she’s in the nursery, but I know she is…
-Going back to work was hard and rewarding and exciting and stressful and so many things. -We just booked our first air travel for this spring, and I’m nervous. I’m also kind of surprised they haven’t invented some kind of seatbelt for lap babies. It just doesn’t seem safe to me. -I’ve been doing Popsugar Fitness at home, but last week was my first time visiting the gym again. Man, I forgot that it’s such a scene with everyone in…
