This morning I visited about a dozen or so yard sales with my friend Christina. For $15.50, I scored: + six plain white short-sleeved onesies + grey and red baseball sleeve style onesie + lime green onesie + white polo and tan corduroy overalls outfit (12 mos) + two baby sunhats + a non-fiction book […]

nap time

Sitting in the car, parked at the store while baby naps. That’s how it goes sometimes. We visited a local art and framing shop to get a picture restored. I purchased the picture at Goodwill — it’s a drawing of SF’s Lombard Street, in a nice frame, cost me $1.79. It just needs a new […]

Years ago, when Brian and I were a childless couple in the big city with plenty of extra cash, I would buy expensive blue jeans at Nordstrom. They made my butt look good and they lasted a long time. Boot cut or straight leg only, none of this skinny jeans nonsense. Then I got pregnant, […]

Freya fell asleep in my arms. She does this pretty easily 🙂 I carried her carefully upstairs and lay her in our bed, then placed a pillow by the edge just in case, though I know she is fairly motionless in her naps. I set up the monitor and am now down the hall, just […]

Sometimes I fear that Freya sees me as “boring old mommy”. She lights up with smiles when she sees Brian. I’m the milk lady, daddy is Fun Daddy! We spend every minute of the day together, there’s no novelty. I get sad and oversensitive when he’s holding her and she looks at me, poker faced. […]

Some friends advised me to quit dairy if I want my skin to clear up. This was after the pharmacist told me that a tube of Differin gel would cost me $180. And that’s with my shitty insurance. Now I see what those tea party douchebags are fighting for! Anyway. So obviously I didn’t get […]

I have a very mild cold. But it’s enough that when I lay down, fluid runs down my throat, causing me to cough or clear my throat and wake the baby. Drat. She pretty much slept through last night. Woke to nurse for twenty minutes at 4am. Fell right back to sleep. Wish every night […]

I’ve been corresponding with my aunt in Miami lately. We’ve always been in touch, but of late she’s been sharing a wealth of family stories I never knew anything about. I need to print and save these things for Freya. I always thought of my aunt as this cool, funky lady. Didn’t see her too […]
I am your mama

I think it is important that Freya knows about my life before she was born. Among other things, it will give her a sense of history and of self. I plan to tell her about my childhood, adolescence, college, etc, so she will have a real sense of who I am, and in turn, who […]

This morning we awoke with the birds and gray light and cool sweet air. Freya sleeps next to me, snuggled close to the warmth of her mama. Or she sleeps on her back with limbs splayed like a starfish. We got up just after seven and slowly got ready for the day. The plan was […]
