This too(th) shall pass

At the second session of my new weekly yoga class last week, I used the phrase “calm before the storm” to describe my state of mind at that moment when we went around the studio introducing ourselves before practice. With my MIL coming to town to watch Rowan for a few days, followed by our [...]

At least I tried

Posted on September 22, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized | 10 Comments

Well, nuts. My bid to become the Verity Mom ended before it ever really began. I was not chosen as one of three finalists, which is actually totally fine in the grand scheme of things. Sure, the extra income the job provides would’ve been awesome, making it so Roth and I could breathe just a [...]

Breast intentions

I’m so glad the latest episode of Mad Men didn’t entirely gloss over the childbirth process, as TV and movies from that actual era typically did. I’d only recently learned about “twilight sleep” from the documentary The Business of Being Born, so it was interesting to see it depicted. I mentioned this to my mom, [...]

Times are tough

I frequently get spam e-mail sent from myself (those tricky spammers!) in my work in-box, which, besides confusing the heck out of me for a couple seconds every single time, like, huh, how did I get an e-mail from myself IT MUST BE FROM THE FUTURE, the subjects are actually pretty funny, and sometimes, intriguing [...]

Thirty by 30

It sort of snuck up on me, but I’m turning 30 in 30 days. Perhaps I should spend the next month mourning the end of my twenties (seriously, it seems like just yesterday I was celebrating my 20th birthday), or sowing my wild oats, but we’re just so busy between now and then, I hardly [...]

I love my husband, reason # 55

Just as I feel like I’m spinning out of control, with unwieldy piles of papers and an overflowing in-box threatening to pull me under, he shows up at my work with baby on one arm and a grocery bag containing two homemade BLTs, a bag of chips, two sodas, and two homemade Oreos on the [...]

An interesting endeavor

I’m a mom. I’m a blogger. But am I a … mommyblogger? *gulp* The content contained herein the last nine months would suggest that yes, I am, but am I comfortable with being pigeonholed into such a label? I’ve always just written about my life, and whatever that might’ve entailed at the time, and now [...]

Three bits

With a baby who can now most definitely crawl into whole other rooms whenever he wants, thusly leaving a path of destruction in his wake … … I’ve given up trying to keep my house in better shape than “totally annihilated.” I wish you could see my living room now. *** The winner of last [...]

I will see you there, or I will see you on another time

Posted on September 3, 2009 | Category: Uncategorized | 7 Comments

Thanks to everyone who has commented with their mom moments (or, mom-ents!) so far! Just as I suspected (and not that this is breaking news or anything, but), being a mom is a unique experience for everyone. There’s not one cookie-cutter way to describe the feelings associated with the realization you’re somebody’s mom. I’ve loved [...]
