Aspiring Child Stylist
Published on Monday, November 2, 2009 by caryn I've been asking my husband to take our little boy for a haircut for weeks...3 to be exact. It's not that I can't take him. I have no problem driving him to the salon and having the stylist cut his hair. It's the crying, protesting, and trying to run out of the salon that I can't handle at this point in my pregnancy. When my husband takes him, he holds him on ...

My Apologies…
Published on Wednesday, October 28, 2009 by caryn Dear Family, Friends, Neighbors, Church Small Group, Women's Bible Study, etc. As you may or may not know, I'm almost 30 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. And I have a 2 year old who I'm trying hard to run after, entertain, and otherwise keep out of mischief. And a husband who likes a clean house (I guess I failed in that category). And did I mention I'm off of ...

Toddler Moments (And How to Take a Shower in ...
Published on Monday, October 26, 2009 by caryn My husband gently kisses me on the cheek goodbye, so not to wake me, not knowing that I've been awake (for the second time) since his alarm went off. The first time was earlier in the night when my son wanted out of his toddler bed and into "mommy and daddy's bed." These days, I don't need an alarm. I have a 2 year old...who just happens to be sleeping peacefull...

Overcoming Fear
Published on Sunday, September 6, 2009 by caryn Fear. I know we all fear something...it's part of what makes us human. But when did I become terrified of spiders or airplanes or pregnancy? Sometimes I look at my 2 year old and long for the days when I knew no fear. Two years ago, around this time I started contracting with my son. We hadn't even reached that magical "24" week mark, which really isn't... Read More » -

It’s Coming…
Published on Friday, August 14, 2009 by caryn In a little over one week, we'll finally know whether our little baby will be wearing pink or blue! I am so excited. I'm finally starting to feel regular kicks (at night of course) and the nausea is mostly gone. I am still getting migraines, but otherwise, I feel good. I definitely find that I have more energy, which is good for all three four of us. If ...

The Dual Income Family
Published on Tuesday, August 11, 2009 by caryn "Where's daddy?" Those two words break my heart every time I hear them. His awareness of my husband's absence is unmistakable. When my husband leaves, the tears begin to fall. I know it's normal for children at this age to experience separation anxiety. Unfortunately, separation is a regular occurrence. I am usually able to distract him. We sing or re... Read More » -

BlogHer Recap #1
Published on Thursday, July 30, 2009 by caryn Whew...I'm exhausted. I've been home for over about 24 hours, and to be honest, I've been a little distracted with my sweet little boy who I missed terribly. So much so that I ended up bawling on Saturday night at BowlHer as I was talking to a rep from Pepperidge Farm (I am so sorry and I can't remember your name!). But those tears of homesickness and remorse ov...

My To Do List
Published on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 by caryn I'm a very busy lady. I've got a husband, a toddler, a house, a dog, and a job. Oh and a blog! My to-do list on any given day is enough to make anyone's head spin. But then there are those unwritten things I want and need to do. This list (just like my written to-do lists) is constantly changing. These are my dreams...my hopes...my aspirations... I may not a... Read More » -

At a Crossroads…
Published on Thursday, July 2, 2009 by caryn You're at a stand still, You're at an impasse Your mountain of dreams, seems harder to climb Susan Ashton When I was a little girl, I dreamed about all the things I would do. I wanted to sing and dance and travel the world. But do you know what I wanted even more than all of those things? To get married and have a family. I'm 31...whew...that's hard to ... Read More » -

12 Weeks Pregnant…
Published on Monday, June 29, 2009 by caryn And still sick...but getting better...and bigger. It's been a really rough 7 weeks. I never imagined I'd feel so bad for so long. Jason and my parents have been amazingly understanding and have helped out a ton with our little boy. I'm still taking the Zofran because being off of it is just not an option at this point (I've tried...). Life still carries on w...

My So Called (Blogging) Life…
Published on Sunday, June 14, 2009 by caryn When I first started my blog (on blogspot almost 2 years ago), I really had no idea what direction I was heading. One thing was certain...blogs helped me get through my 5 months of bedrest and I loved the community I found through them. I also wanted some way to keep my family in the loop with their first grandchild. So, since it seemed like the "thing to do," I s... Read More » -

How I’m Feeling…
Published on Thursday, June 11, 2009 by caryn I try not to complain (accept in the privacy of my own home...hehe!) but despite the fact that I'm on prescription medication for the morning (all-day sickness) sickness, I still feel bad most of the day. I have this window of time in the afternoon where I feel ok...usually sometime after noon. That is when I'll finally make my way into the shower (I know.... Read More » -

An Update…
Published on Monday, June 1, 2009 by caryn So, I was a little sicker than I let on. Apparently babies and bodies don't like to be without food or water for very long. I finally got a prescription for Zofran (for the all day morning sickness) and over the weekend some resemblance of myself emerged. Once again, thank you to all of you who have emailed me with your sweet words of encouragement. I thi... Read More » -

Absent
Published on Friday, May 29, 2009 by caryn Yes..I've been a little absent. It's not because I've wanted to. It's because this tiny, jelly-bean sized baby is taking everything I have. Morning sickness has become all day sickness. Rather than bore you with the details, just know that I'm working as hard as I can to keep in touch with all of you. I read each and every one of your comments and emails.Â...

The Perfect Day…
Published on Thursday, April 9, 2009 by caryn My husband and I had an unexpected day off together earlier in the week.  We slept in woke up half past dark (thanks to our human alarm clock), had a gourmet breakfast (which we shoveled in while taking turns playing with and entertaining my son), and took a lovely, leisurely stroll to the park. We pushed my son on the swings as he called out "higher, higher" and...
