Speaking of pumps April 30, 2008

This looks like something that should be under the hood of my car. Not attached to one’s breasts!

Ghost in the machine April 30, 2008

A voice comes through when I’m using my electric breast pump. At first, I was using the thing at home back when Josie was only sleeping two or three hours at a time, which as you know, means I was only sleeping two or three hours at a time.  So yeah, sleep deprivation might cause one to hear voices coming [...]

At Grammy Von’s and Grampa John’s April 27, 2008

From Ben:
What an adventure it’s been. Mom endured hanging out with dad and his fraternity brothers last night. but the real challenge was for Grammy and Grampa.
This was the first time Josie was away from home overnight. And I would have to say she gets a B-. Grammy and Grampa battled some crying and [...]

Eww April 23, 2008

Read an article about these pork processing plant (say that outloud) workers who developed a nasty nuerological ailment and it took a team from Mayo to discover it’s some new disease. Anyway, this paragraph really made me appreciate working in an office:
“All of the employees worked in an area of the plants where pig brains were [...]

She’s BACK! April 23, 2008

From Ben:
Josie and family have been absent for a while, because her mom and dad’s computer has been on the fritz. In fact, it crashed as we were trying to download more of Josie’s photos.
I will tell you this. Kim is surely the brains of this operation. She fixed the problem, and now Josie is back [...]

Brain derailment April 23, 2008

Today I overslept and you’d think the extra 20 minutes would clear my head. Nope. Had a classic brain fart. Pulled into the bus stop just as the bus did. Grabbed purse, giant tote bag with lunch and pumping essentials, and then coffee mug. Stepped out of the car and shut the door. Panic! Where [...]

Friday! April 11, 2008

Our work week is nearly over and this family is ready for a little relaxation. Josie and I will nerd out to Battlestar Galactica tonight. Should be a frakin good time. (had too…sorry) Ben has been talking about sleeping in tomorow since Tuesday. We’re good. It’s still far easier than the first week of Josie’s life when [...]

This is how it’s gonna be April 8, 2008

From Ben:
For the past two weeks, Josie, Kim and I have been slowly getting into a routine in preperation of Kim going back to work fulltime.
Now it’s here!
Josie went to daycare for the first time today. People who take their kids to daycare always say, “It’s harder on the parents, than on the baby.” [...]

Car seat blues April 3, 2008

Today Josie reminded us how awful it is to be a baby. Have you ever seen a sadder soul?
