When I woke up today Eva was still asleep. It gave me the chance to get ready and then wake her up. When I went into her room the soft morning sunlight was shining on her peaceful face and it was so sweet. I then said, “Eva, it’s time to get up”. She opened her [...]
Eva is sick. She is the sickest she has ever been. It started with pink eye which went undiagnosed for too long so it turned into a bad sore throat and infection in both ears. A high fever accompanied it all. I pretty much sat on the couch and held her all day yesterday because [...]
My house is on a pretty busy street and I would really like a fence in front of my yard so that in the future my kids can play outside and I can worry a bit less. Over the weekend I did a lot of yard work. Eva loves being outside and is really good [...]
Sometimes there are amazing moments in my life and they are so perfect that I take a picture in my mind and try to remember it exactly that way forever. The memory always fades a bit but I remember that I loved it. There are some memories that I didn’t know, at the time, how [...]
Today when I left to work Eva followed me to the door and cried and said “Mama” and it broke my heart a little but also made me happy because she has never cried when I left. She has cried when her dad has left and when her cousins have left but she usually kisses [...]

I am in the process of weaning Eva but I think I am actually weaning myself. The main reason I have decided to do this is because she gets up a 1 a.m. and wants to nurse and is restless and nursing until about 5 a.m. when she finally falls back to sleep. Obviously this [...]
I think it is time to start training Eva to sleep through the night and do it in her crib. I know it will be easier if I do it now and it will be harder the longer I wait. I know that it will be better for her as well; she needs to get [...]
We went to my mom’s last weekend to celebrate Eva’s first birthday. I can not believe it has been a year. I read what I wrote about my delivery and it seems like it just happened. My life is so different. I am so different. With a kid time goes by much faster. It is [...]
