Forget Postpartum Depression
2009-12-20 19:19
It's been in the back of my mind ever since I was pregnant with her, but it really just hit me yesterday. I've given birth to my last baby, and if that weren't bad enough, she's not much of a baby anymore. Sure, she still drinks from a bottle, and she can't walk, yet, but that's about...
The Victoria Show

Here's a glimpse into my evenings. After dinner and baths comes bed time. Save for special occassions and some weekends, bed time is 8 o'clock. This has not changed. Ever. So, why it seems to come as a surprise to Victoria EVERY night, I will never know. We start...

Sophie-
You may notice that your monthly letter is a couple of days late. This is because I'm tired. So tired. Too tired to write, usually. Also, my evenings have been consumed trying to find the best deals for you, your sister, and your brother for Christmas. Of course,...

In preparation for the upcoming holiday season, Wesley decided that we all needed a break. He booked a hotel in Hendersonville, NC, and planned all sorts of fun things to do. It was a nice change from the typical pre-holiday freak out that we usually experience. We were forced to...
Karma's a bitch

This is Victoria's new sweater:
It's perfect for fall- brown, warm, and 100% wool. That's why I bought it in fact...for me, not her. That's what happens when you let your well-meaning husband do all of the laundry. Wool sweaters get washed, dried, and...
Baby Face Grace
2009-11-10 20:08
Don't let this face fool you:
It's the face of a ganster, a mobster, a bully. I've already mentioned her stealing other babies' blankets and dangling toys out of reach, but her bad behavior culminated today when she...wait for it...sat on the other babies. As bossy and headstrong as Victoria...

I've noticed a disturbing trend over the past month. Sophie has chosen a role model to emulate, so now instead of 1 headstrong little girl, I have 2. I've been telling myself that although she is now exhibiting Victoriaesque characteristics (stealing blankets, dangling toys out of...
