Wow, it’s January 25, 2011, and umm, I haven’t been doing so well keeping my New Mommy journal . . . oh well, I’m here now!
Heidi’s Diary
Change
Change is a funny thing. When we can’t have it, we want it. When it does finally come around, we get anxious and wish it would wait a while. Or, maybe it’s not change itself that’s so strange – after all, change is a constant oddly enough – but it’s our reaction to it that leaves us confused. Well, I’m anxious and confused. This is nothing new, of course, but the reasons for it have changed:)
Epilogue – The Snooze Button Baby and the No Food Diet
So . . . good news, I found my super-power mom hearing and heard Calan crying through the walls, down the hall, over the fans – two nights in a row!
Odd Snapshots in the Life of a Sleep-Deprived Mom #1 – Harry Potter at Target??
Standing in the feeding aisle of the baby section at Target, staring at breast-pump accessories, hearing a strange, eerie, whistle-like – but-louder-like-a-horn sound that seems to be calling and coming from everywhere, but nowhere in particular. Is this in my head, or is this an actual sound found on earth, and not just in the on-screen fantasy world of J.K. Rowling?
Labor Day Weekend – the Snooze Button Baby and the No Food Diet
Labor Day, holidays in general, and for that matter the difference between the week and the weekend, really have little or no meaning anymore. Time is marked more by things like – wow! we learned how to go to the grocery store with the baby! – than actual hours on the clock and days on the calendar.
Priorities
Hello everyone who is reading this (even if it’s just you, Mom:)! This is to be my little record of the random thoughts running through my head as I try to do something I’m quite convinced I can’t do – be a mom. Please be forewarned that my brain isn’t running on all cylinders, and while I promise to do my best to be articulate, I’m not sure I will actually succeed. But I know you all understand, especially those of you who have been down this road before.
