Jemma and I are spending our first Friday together with me as a working mama. “Yeah” for Fridays off and “Boo” for weeks away from my baby. To celebrate, she has a sweet treat for everyone. Not yet 19 weeks old and J Baby is a mover! I can hardly believe it … This feels […]
4 Months
Milestone stickers c/o Sticky Bellies What a big girl we have! Jemma had her 4 month appointment on Monday and turned 4 months old on Wednesday. She is our greatest joy and we fall in love with her sweet personality more and more each day. She loves to have babbling conversations which are peppered with […]
Between naps, laundry and everything else
I don’t write as much as I used to in my blog posts, now I post pictures and links. Life of a mama who types 1-handed, I guess :) What I can do is read. I read during Jemma’s naps as she is cuddled in my arms and soak up the wisdom of other mothers. […]
P.S. Birth Story Extras
As I mentioned, my birth experience wasn’t what I planned. I had hoped for a calm waterbirth at our birthing center. Instead, Jemma was born under glaring lights in a stark white hospital room. Of course, what’s most important is we were both safe throughout our 3 days of labor. But still, I mourn a […]
The Tripod
We are on the road to having a little girl who can sit up! For now, it’s what we call “the tripod”.
We found Mary Poppins, and no, you can’t have her
On Thursday night I hit a big mama milestone – I left Jem with her first non-family member so Dominic and I could go on a date. This wasn’t just any non-family member, it was Jemma’s lovely nanny! I’m heading back to work in February and we wanted Jem and her nanny to have some […]
3 Months
Another month has flown by – MONTH 3! Jemma has developed such a personality; she cracks us up all the time. Whether it be her sweet smiles, goofy looks or stinky toots we are falling in love with this girl each and every day. Miss J found her hands this month and is constantly chewing […]
Twenty Ten
Dominic and I have resolved to make the verbage switch to “twenty ten” and “twenty eleven” instead of the long winded “two thousand and ________”. Yep, we are all over significant resolutions. Now, on to the fun stuff … in the big ol’ TWENTY TEN we experienced more than we could have imagined. It has […]
2 Months
Milestone sticker courtesy of Sticky Bellies I wonder if I’ll ever stop saying, “Where has the time gone?” Miss Jemma is a lovely 2 month old today. I never imagined loving motherhood so much. Each day brings more surprises; always leaving me wanting more. Just yesterday she looked straight at me and gave the biggest […]
6 Weeks
Somehow my 1 month post has morphed into a 6 week post. Jemma is growing up so fast … I can hardly keep up! Thanks to Jessica at Tart for the great idea of how to document all of Jemma’s milestones. I love the simplicity and am sure Jemma will have fun looking back on […]
