It’s almost here
You know something is really close when the date shows up on a milk carton.
Facebook Updates – almost one year ago
Yes, I saved all my Facebook* statuses from the end of March and the end of my pregnancy last year because they were too funny to not save. These updates were to save people from having to call or email me to see if I’d had the baby yet.
Enjoy. :-)

Sad and Happy
As we approach my baby boy’s first birthday (OHMYGOD he’ll be ONE in two weeks!), I am slowing weaning myself from the breastpump. I’m still nursing Carson every night and during the day on the weekends and hope to keep that up as long as possible, but I thought I’d do a little list about how I feel about this. Here goes:
I’m happy to regain all the lost time I spend pumping – even thought it is only one-two times a day right now.
I’m happy that I don’t have to worry about ruining my pants with spilled drops of milk …
More Beauty School Dropout
I got to watch about 2 hours of the Olympics a couple of weeks ago by letting Mallory play with my hair.
I’ll admit that I actually put this ponytail in (just because Mallory can’t do ponytails yet), but this ponytail was placed right where she instructed me to.
Luckily she was OK with me redoing my hair before we left the house later that day.
PS – I can’t believe I am posting this picture of me with no makeup on. Blech.
I’m still here
Hi.
Yes, it’s been a while.
But I’m still here.
It’s been a crazy week.
First – the Super Bowl – asked Mallory if she wanted to watch football and she told us “NO – I only like the tailgates”.
Then Rick & I headed to New York City for my Christmas present getaway. The trip was fun and not so fun.
Tuesday was fun – walked around the city, went to a taping of the David Letterman Show, had dinner, saw Chicago on Broadway, and stayed up way too late, even though we were kidless.
Wednesday was not so fun. NYC was under a winter weather …
Just for me
Breastfeeding and nursing and pumping are all discussed in this post. Not in a gross way. This is your warning – feel free to not comment (mom & dad) about how you can’t believe I wrote a whole post about this AND posted pictures.

Tank is now 10 months old. I can’t believe it’s gone so fast. I know I’ve said this like every single month, but I could just freeze him at this age and it would be fabulous.
One thing that makes me sad is thinking about the end of breastfeeding. …
