It’s already June, eh? Time sure flies by fast especially when there’s a baby around. Wondering how everyone is coming along? Well, we’re still hanging in there. – K – These days, K is sleeping through the night (made easier by the fact that we co-sleep with her). She’s a bit fussier than when she was first born but she’s still a lot easier to calm than E ever was. It’s hard to believe that next week she will be 4 months old next week. She’s also mastering the art of tummy time and has flipped over a few times, though I’m never sure if it’sRead More →

Right now, I can’t recall what day of the week it is. They all blur together for me. Right now, I am very sleep deprived. Why I’m up writing a blog post instead of sleeping is beyond me. Right now, I’m holding a sleeping Kaylie. She spent most of last night and all day today fussing and crying despite having a clean diaper and being fed. She didn’t sleep well and neither did we. Right now, I’m still not sure why my newborn who was fairly easy for the past few weeks suddenly became so difficult and incredibly fussy and inconsolable. Right now, a massageRead More →

37 weeks. I’ve finally hit full term this week and it has not been the smoothest trip so far. I’ve spent the past two weeks sick with a cold I caught from E. Getting sick this late in the pregnancy can do a lot of things to the body. A lot of unpleasant things, which is why I haven’t had the energy to blog or do much on the internet. I’m still quite out of it these days. Still trying to recover from being sick as well as struggling through all the uncomfortable bits of being at full term. And the wait…It’s really starting toRead More →

This has been a long week, my friends. E’s first week of school has been an interesting one. And definitely a very tiring one for me. E in her school uniform. She was complaining about having her photo taken.  (Not my car btw) First, I have to say that I have so much more admiration for moms with school age kids. Even more so for moms who have multiple school age kids and definitely for those moms who hold a job while taking care of school age kids because it’s definitely not an easy job, not that I ever thought it was easy. While IRead More →

…because I am having a hard time keeping one. I recently learned of a big secret. A real good one too. And I am having a heck of a time keeping it a secret. I want to tell so many people about it. But I can’t. Because I promised. And promises aren’t meant to be broken, right? *sigh* I really want to tell you what this secret is. But I really shouldn’t. Because I promised. Instead, I’ll just tell you that I know a secret that’s really big. And that’s it. I’m keeping my big mouth shut. I’m not telling anyone. Except for my sister.Read More →

Oh, my poor neglected blog…and my neglected blog life and blog friends. I’m really sorry for my lack of blog presence these past few weeks. You’re probably wondering what the heck is going on here at hamster central, right? Well, you can say that I lost my bloggy mojo. It’s a bit unintentional since I had every intention to jump back into the swing of things in January. There were just a few things I hadn’t planned on happening. First, there was the problem with getting E back to her pre-December rhythm. After spending a whole month in vacation mode and being pretty much joinedRead More →

Sorry for the sudden disappearance and silence. After November, I really needed a break so I took a short one…except, I also realized I had a lot to do before our flight so I’ve been scrambling around trying to get as much done as possible these past few days. Unfortunately, I didn’t get too much done but oh well. E and I will be leaving for California tonight so hopefully once we have landed and have settled down a little, I’ll do some catching up as well as a little more posting. I’m not bringing a laptop with me this trip so I’m hoping myRead More →

Do you know that feeling when you cross the finish line after a long marathon? No? Me either since I’ve never ran enough to be able to survive a marathon. Still, I feel like I just completed one in the blogging world. Today is November 30th and also the last day of NaBloPoMo! *cue happy dancing* It’s been one long month of blogging and though for the most part it wasn’t as painful as I had imagined, there were days when I had wanted to just quit. Except I didn’t and now I can pat myself on the back for a job well done 🙂Read More →
