    Call The Midwife*

    I think I could have lived quite happily in the 1950s. As I progress further with this pregnancy, I find that I’m completely worn out after we get Ruby settled and into bed. So, I’ve been trying to put my feet up a little, and have spent the last few evenings curled up on the couch watching “Call the Midwife”. My mom has been trying to get me to watch this show for ages, but for whatever reason I just kept dragging my heels. I knew very little about it, and in my head I assumed it would be some kind of trashy show like “Sixteen and Pregnant” (though the…

    Silly Bean*

    My wee bean is a little bit silly. We’ve been cooped up in the house these past few days while she recovers from her ear infection, and I had my mandated “day of rest” yesterday. I had hoped to make it out on some kind of adventure today, but we had another long, long night last night and Ruby and I were both a little tired. Most days, Ruby still naps twice.

Her lovely antibiotics seem to be doing the trick, and I feel like we are inching back toward her regular sleep habits. So, when this morning dawned bright and sunny, I was looking forward to enjoying day #2 of my holidays. I had a billion errands I wanted to run, and I have house projects up the wazoo I would love to finish. After I rolled out of bed…

    The Ear Infection*

    What a difference a day can make. My little bean has been sick with a cold for the last two weeks. She was okay at first, then a bad cough took hold and slowed her down for three or four days. The Hubster and I each took a turn taking a day off of work to be with her (and recoup from the cold that we had each caught ourselves) and I ended up in a walk in clinic with her a week ago. I just wanted to have her checked out after a couple of particularly rough nights, but the doctor assured me it was just the mother of…
