Wedding Rings and Unicorns*
The times, they are a-changin’. My darling wee one has been up partying these past two nights. On Sunday night she decided to wake up and play at 1am and didn’t crash again until almost 4am. Last night she woke up at the same time, but thankfully I got her back down closer to 2:30. While she shimmied her way around her crib blowing raspberries on the bars, I had a lot of time to sit in my rocker as I kept her company. To try and keep myself awake, I found myself scrolling through the Facebook news feed on my phone. As I scrolled past photos of couples and…

The Hallowee-bean*
So, let’s just pretend that Hallowe’en was like… yesterday. Because in my head, it actually was. The past 10 days or so have been a complete whirlwind. I have about 8 unfinished blog posts sitting in a list that I just haven’t been able to get to because things have just been stupidly busy. My darling wee-bean has been a bit of a night owl these past two weeks. Instead of her regular 6:30pm bedtime, she has been up partying until 10:30 – 11pm. …and of course by partying I mean needing her momma as we deal with some separation anxiety issues and big time teething. Speaking of which, her…

Ruby: 6 Months*
I’m back! It’s amazing what a little late night venting can do for the soul. First off: I promise I’m not depressed. I’m okay. The reason I felt ready to write about what I’ve been feeling is because I feel like I’m through the worst of it. It was a particularly challenging couple of weeks with Ruby, and everything just compounded on top of one another. My sweet bean was/is teething and wasn’t sleeping, which made for a very tired, stressed momma. Anyway. This morning I realized that I haven’t done a little update about my wee-bean in a while, and I thought I’d introduce you to my amazing six…

Sleep Success: Baby Steps*
Oh my. Where does time go? Life just keep flying by at breakneck speeds and most days I feel like I can barely keep up. Apparently it’s July already, but I’m not sure how that happened. A lot has happened since I last posted. I celebrated my 27th birthday, and my Mom, Dad and I took Ruby on her first big trip to the great white north. I was terrified to take her in the car for that long–it’s a seven hour drive without stops. Her longest trip prior to this was 2.5 hours, and memories of her major highway meltdown a few weeks back were still very fresh in…

Who Needs Sleep?
It’s official: I have reached a new level of exhaustion. I mentioned yesterday that Ruby doesn’t really nap. Well, apparently she doesn’t need to sleep at night either. For the past month, my little wee-bean has exhibited some… interesting… sleeping habits. I know babies are often inconsistent, but she’s all over the map. One night she’ll sleep for a 5 hours stretch, one night it’ll be 3, but more often than not she is up every hour and a half to two hours. All. Night. Long. Let’s examine last night, shall we? I began her little bedtime routine shortly after 8pm, same as every night: warm bath, jammies, stories, then…
