I’m Not My Hair

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_5jIt0f5Z4&w=420&h=315] I've always had a love-hate relationship with my hair. Unlike some women who prize their hair and treat it like a prized possession, my attitude towards my hair has always been more of an annoyance than a blessing. You see, I have really thick, curly, 4C type hair and my go-to approach of doing my hair is always having someone else do it. I will gladly pay an

Baby I’m a Star!

Yoda turned seven months last week! I will post an update on his stats after his latest pedi appointment on Tuesday.

Baby, I’m a Star!

Has it really been almost a month since I last posted? I'm sorry. That sucks. Between trying to get my writing career back on track and still getting used to this SAHM thing, I've neglected this blog. Bad foxxy. I need to do better. For a mea culpa, here's a recent photo of Yoda bear:   M. started bringing up the topic of trying again. Ideally, I would love Yoda and his sibling(s)

My Saving Grace

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE1ED_9piMU   I'm going to be frank - I'm not looking forward to Mother's Day this year. Or any year, for that matter. You can't blame me. I was supposed to have a baby in 2012. Instead, I spent 2011 mourning two losses; one being a late-term loss (Ethan). Being celebrated on Mother's Day when I feel someone is missing is a bit skewed. I don't know if it'll ever get better, honestly.  I

May the Fourth be with you!

It should be no surprise to anyone who follows this blog that we celebrate Star Wars day. Oddly enough, there were no showings of Star Wars on TV at all today. What the hell? We don't own the movies (shocking but my husband is very particular about what quality he wants the movies in). It's only fitting I had a blog post celebrating Star Wars day. I think next year I'll

Could You Be Loved

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL_BcaI0i0w&w=560&h=315] It's time for a Bo update! Weight: 17 1/2 lbs. Length/Height: 29 inches Diaper size and type: Size 3, Huggies Little Movers. We are experimenting with cloth but still on the fence. We've tried blueberry/swaddlebees, which we both love. Alvas are pretty nice. I really liked the Kawaii overnights. I do know I hate the pockets and prefer the AIOs. I would love to purchase just one BumGenius to try it.  Though we

Outstanding

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIKC2ggCed4&w=560&h=315] It's been a while since there's been an all-Bo post. Here it is! Weight: 16 lbs. at last pedi appointment. Length/Height: 25 inches at last pedi appointment. Diaper size and type: Size 3, Huggies Little Movers. Still waiting to find balls to try cloth diapering. Onesie size: Depends on the brand. Some 3 month clothing still fits him (Carter’s and Old Navy) but he’s mostly in 6 month and 9 month. Yeah. 9 month!

Be Alright

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPfhyfaJgGs&w=420&h=315]) What a difference a year makes. I'm typing this post with a semi-sleepy Yoda on my boob. I'm sure you wanted to know that but you can't deny I've been honest for this long so why hold back now? A year ago, I found out I was pregnant and I remember I had a flurry of emotions go through me. The biggest emotion was relief. We were trying for a
