MOM

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by by NavyKay

“MOM!”

My world stopped spinning for a minute.  Mom?  Who, me???  You mean, Mama???  MOM?!  Already?!!?!  He’s two.  How am I already mom???  It stuck around all day long!  The occasional “Mama” would get thrown around here and there, but yesterday, I became mom.  And Dustin?  Well, he was “dad” upon arrival home from work.  And that also stuck.  He is also called “Dustin” on occasion.  Like when it’s time to eat.  I guess I’ve yelled “DUSTIN!” down the stairs enough times that Lawson picked it up, cause that’s been going on for about six months or so.

So, I’d like to introduce myself.  I am “mom.”  It’s a new title for me and one I’m still adjusting to.  I was even reprimanded as such in public my first day on the job.  I was touching the screen (more…)

The Scary Face of Asthma

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by by JM Guest Blogger

Most people out there are like me when it comes to their thoughts and opinions on asthma and its effects on someones life – I always had this vision of asthma in my head as a medical condition that causes someone to get out of breathe when they over exert themselves.  One of the first things that comes (more…)

Let the cute girl comments and awkward cultural explaining begin! I think I’m ready for it.

"week 22 - you may have noticed your centre of gravity has changed"

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by by Gaby&Emmy'sMama

In one of my pregnancy books, for 22 weeks I read “you may have noticed your centre of gravity has changed”, and I figured that yes mine had, but not substantially.

That was until today when I was taking an armload of stuff  out to the garage to put in the rubbish bin - and managed to fall down the stairs!!!!  I don’t know how I did it, but I think my foot may have slipped or something - and next thing I knew I was fall off the side of the steps, scraping my toes, feet, legs & hands on the way down.. I kind of (more…)

A Balancing Act

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by by JM Guest Blogger

There’s an old Dr. Suess book that we really enjoy using as a learning/counseling tool with our youth at work called Oh The Places You’ll Go and I lately I’ve been reminded of one quote in particular:  “So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life’s a Great Balancing Act. Just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up your right foot with your left.” I am now entering my fourth week back in the game as a working mommy (more…)

Thank God for Baby Signs

Sunday, February 28th, 2010 by by Jess

My last post was about Jonah and his “baby signing.” Jonah knows about twenty signs at this point. I have posted in the past about our signing, but I don’t do it as frequently as I should. I am trying to post about it more, as it has become something completely invaluable in our lives.

Jonah does not talk. Not verbally anyway, he does (more…)

Cloth Diapering While Traveling

Saturday, February 27th, 2010 by by Shannon

So, last weekend while I was taking a break again which was a much needed break…we were just going to hang around the house and just enjoy time with each other and the family. My husband spoke to his father and his dad had surgery about a week ago.  He just didn’t sound well.  My husband was concerned so we decided to (more…)
