Weaning Progress

Tonight for the third or fourth time Isabella went to bed without nursing and without even asking to nurse. She had a very difficult time falling asleep early on. Even in the hospital everyone noted how alert she always was. She hardly slept at all...

Outing! Updates

Finally got out of the house today. We met with some friends we haven’t seen in a long time and had a nice dinner at a cute brew pub in Waltham. Traffic was really light so we got there early and took a little walk down to the river and then...

Stuffed Up

It’s either very bad allergies or the beginnings of a head cold. The past two mornings I’ve had to pop a Sudafed on waking up, I was so congested and gagging on mucus. I love Sudafed, the 12 hour pill, the four hour ones for some reason...

Bella in a Brown Dress
