The unwelcome reminder of all those responsibilities you hid from for the past two days? It still happens, even when you don't leave your house. I used … Continue reading How to Be a Stay-at-Home Mom

Do me a solid.
So, we have finally started trying to feed Lilly solid foods. Mush. We're feeding her mush. I didn't think that it would be difficult but, Lilly doesn't seem to understand what's happening. She opens her mouth now and lunges for the spoon but, she then get's confused when she feels the puree. I don't think … Continue reading Do me a solid.
New Year Thoughts
Happy new year to everyone reading this! I hope this year brings us all wonderful things 🙂 This year was definitely one to remember for me.

Christmas Trip
Lillian's first Christmas was wonderful 🙂 We spent a week with my mom and grandpa in San Antonio and then spent a night in Austin to see Paul's dad, step mom, and some friends. Lillian got SPOILED with presents and we learned that she loves, loves, loves toys. She also got a bunch of cute … Continue reading Christmas Trip
Not Ready
Lillian will be 6 months old soon and I can't seem to wrap my brain around that. I've almost had my little squishy for half a year! She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and it feels like only yesterday my OB was cutting her out of my uterus. As amazing as Lilly … Continue reading Not Ready

I have never been so … Continue reading Flying with a Baby
Time flies when you’re learning new things.
Lilly is 5 months old and she's learning so many new things. It's thrilling and also a little sad. I feel like I'm going to blink and she'll be a teenager; time really needs to slow down. She is now a master roller from back to tummy and she's literally always doing that. It's almost … Continue reading Time flies when you’re learning new things.
When Daddy’s Away.
Paul had to go out of town for work and it was just me and Lilly at home for a few days. We had a blast 🙂 I really felt like I was killin' the mom game and it was also nice to get some me time. I can't explain why but, it seems I … Continue reading When Daddy’s Away.
Brand New Baby
It's been almost a month now since Lilly had her heart surgery and she is doing amazingly well 🙂 She has so much energy now, it's wild. This threw me for a loop the first few weeks, since I was used to how sleepy she was before the surgery but, I'm thrilled to see my … Continue reading Brand New Baby
Struggling
Lilly is back home and recovering like a champion. She still has pain, especially when she hiccups (the saddest thing I've ever seen) but, she's doing so great all things considered 🙂 Me, on the other hand? I'm not ok. I'm not ok and I'm finally at a point where I need to get it … Continue reading Struggling
