Letters to Braden 2007-10-11 02:28:00 Here is a letter I wrote to Braden on February 18, 2006, when he was only 19 days old, inside of me.
The baby book I purchased for him while I was pregnant has a space in it for the Mommy, and one for the Daddy, to write a letter to the baby. When I saw that, I decided to fill it in when Braden was one year old. Thinking about that made me decide to write him a letter like that every year on Read more:Letters
Yesterday 2007-10-10 14:42:00 Braden woke up late again yesterday. The plan was no nap, so bedtime would be painless and a full night's healing sleep would be had.
And despite no nap, we had a great time.
And Mommy was feeling triumphant last night. Bedtime was painless, and The Boy slept well.Every day is new. Read more:Yesterday
The Braden Boobie-Milk Story 2007-10-09 01:52:00 Today, I am proud to support Breastfeeding Mothers. I am proud of all the moms who choose to do this for their children, and themselves. I am incredibly happy for those of them who are willing (and ABLE) to stick with it.
You guys ROCK.
I really, really wish I could turn on my web-cam and broadcast a live breastfeeding session with Braden today, as part of The Great Breast Fest. Read more:Boobie
Make Out Meme 2007-10-09 01:23:00 Okay, first of all…
John: Someone else has suggested I do this. It’s an assignment. You may not use this as an excuse to spout off about Terry Hatcher or Rene Zellweger, or any other old or pasty tarts.

Satan Created Teething 2007-10-08 21:24:00 Yesterday and today have been lovely. Really.
On Sunday, Braden kept acting intensely clingy and cranky. You’d have thought someone had convinced him that if he acted as much like he was my ill-tempered, conjoined twin as was humanly possible, he’d win a bale of cotton candy. After several situations in which he melted down in a manner unlike him, I decided he must be having a teething session. Read more:Satan

Movies = neato. 2007-10-08 11:22:00 I like movies.
I used to get mad at movies that were first books. See, more than I like movies, I like books. Books are The Shiz, ya dig? I used to read a book, then watch the movie and groan over how WRONG they got it. Or, I’d see a movie, and then realize there was a book, and get all depressed… see, now if I read the book, I’d have pre-defined ideas about how the people should look and

Aww, Shucks.... 2007-10-06 15:36:00 I'm feeling all, well, liked and stuff. Why? Because the very awesome Veronica took the time to give me this button:
How cool is that!? I have never received a blog button award thingie before, so she took my virginity, and I'm darn excited about it.I'd give this to Dawn, because I just started reading her blog, and it's great! but she already got it from someone else... hm. I also just
Squish a Boobie 2007-10-05 20:55:00 I thought this was cute, and the message is important.

Waking for Braden 2007-10-05 11:39:00 Last night I awoke, at about 4:30 am, to mildly-annoyed-baby-whine sounds. Listening to the monitor intently for a moment, tapping into that special Baby Sound Meanings-Deciphering Super Power us mommies have, I decided Braden must be half asleep, but missing his paci.
Sometimes, the sounds say, "I miss my paci… but it's not a big deal, and in a few seconds, I'm gonna murmur off, back into deep

Codeine and God 2007-10-03 11:30:00 My back is actually feeling better today. I'm pretty surprised, considering I'm usually laid up with this type of pain for about a week before it gets better. It's still a little tender, but much better.
So, last night I drank a cup of coffee at about 10pm. Why? Because I'm a loser and lately I've been getting really tired before I'm ready to sign off for the night. A little later, we popped in
Random Sharing, While in Agony 2007-10-02 17:01:00 Kind of random and pointless post today, since my back is acting 159 years old again.
Something I did in the past few days (not sure what, exactly) has paid off by resulting in sciatic pain shooting down my leg yesterday morning, followed by tender, nervy pain in my lower back last night, and climaxing as serious, hobbling-type back pain for me all day today.
It has worsened as the day has worn Read more:Sharing

6 Years 2007-10-02 13:48:00 Yesterday was the 6 year anniversary of the day my husband and I saw one another, in person, for the first time. We still celebrate that day, even though we've been married for over 3 years, because it was the real beginning to our romantic relationship.
When I see a Ferris Wheel, fireworks, leather pants, or smell raspberry bath 'n body works body spray, I think of that day.
That is the day I Read more:Years
The Great Breast-Fest or Facebook Blows 2007-09-29 14:07:00 Yesterday I was reading Veronica's latest blog "The Great
Booby Fest" over at her blogsite, Sleepless Nights. I learned that apparently Facebook
has gone and removed pictures of women breastfeeding from user accounts on their site.
From 'League of Maternal Justice:

Armoire, How I Love Thee 2007-09-28 16:37:00 A few days ago, I built an entertainment center. John and I have never had one, so this was a very cool thing to us.
In Austin, there was a hole built into the wall that the mammoth of a TV we owned then sat in. We sold that giant when we moved to TN, and used our old bedroom TV as our new living room tv.
That's right. No more bedroom TV. This was actually a purposeful turn of events. We
His Musical Soul 2007-09-22 12:40:00 My son clearly enjoys all things musical. His appreciation ranges from making odd, alien-like and sometimes Clingon, or decidedly mechanical, sounds with his own mouth, to digging the actual music that mommy and daddy listen to.
Braden is thrilled to beat on pots and pans, and likes to play his own little guitar. When he hears music (of any kind... the crappy little tunes that his push-button Read more:Musical
Is My Baby Gay? WHAT?! 2007-09-21 20:11:00 So... I've been noticing the Google ads on my myspace page more lately. Is it just me, or is there some FREAKY crap advertised on this site?
Have you guys paid any attention to this stuff? An especially disturbing link caught my eye yesterday, so I typed the URL into another browser window, and then I just stared at the screen with my mouth hanging open.

How is it possible that this person came out of my body?
I have 2 degrees, a BA and an MA.... spent yearsandyearsandyears in school with my nose in books.... and I have learned more in the past 11 months than I ever did in a classroom.

Dear Braden 2007-10-16 14:15:00 Braden,
It's been a year since you've been outside of my womb, but you've been in my heart for 87 weeks. We found out about you on February 14, 2006. It was the best Valentine I've ever received.
It's been a year since I held you in my arms for the first time and couldn't believe I was touching you with my hands, for real. You were so tiny and perfect on that very first day.
A whole year
Braden: The First Year, by Month 2007-10-15 11:08:00 Tomorrow, my son turns One Year Old.
I celebrate early with this.
This photostream represents each month of Braden's Journey through the first year of his life.
There is an expanded tribute to his first year, Braden: The First
Year on his photo page, A Braden A Day.
These collections of photos took me awhile to put together... Seems funny, because the year they represent seems to have passed Read more:Month
His Birth Story 2007-10-14 07:29:00 As Braden's One Year Birthday (October 16th) approaches, I feel the need to dust off His Birth Story.
I wrote it back on December 29th, 2006. It is posted on my Myspace blog, but I thought it would be nice to move it here, as I think about the impending day.
This post is incredibly long, as blogs go. If you're committed to reading it, you might want to get some popcorn. But please read it

Oh, and also take pictures of stuff with it.
Sure, there are better cameras out there. But they cost WAY more. For the price, this camera is exceedingly sufficient.
