Wow what a day. Julian has just closed his eyes (at 10:07pm) and is now sleeping soundly and suckling sweetly. We flew back from Florida today and headed straight to Whole Foods, where I led a discussion on The Continuum Concept for a group of moms from the Holistic Moms Network. It was, quite possibly, [...]

Last night in Florida and watching Black Swan as J sleeps. I don’t do scary movies, and this is one messed up movie. Might have nightmares…

Today was our sixth day in South Florida, and each day we have been here J has been happier than the last. He loves his Nana, and adores his Ba and his Uncle Jesse. He was so excited to see DD and Momo, and great Uncle Zach, and cousin Sue, and Dylan. J hardly notices [...]

So it happened. I went two days without posting, and my streak is officially over. I suppose I was bound to miss days at some point. I’m not sure anyone noticed – I almost didn’t – but I’m back. And I hope to make up for lost time. Tomorrow, that is. Tonight, I’m lying on [...]

It’s been a very long week. And a very long day. J is still not feeling very well, and his sleep is erratic and inconvenient. No matter how inconvenient, I still respect his schedule (sometimes encouraging slightly in one direction), but it can be difficult. For example, it is 7:52 pm, and I have already [...]
