Mommy Milk Scare
Today for about 2 hours I thought I lost my milk supply. I was kind of freaking out. While I have always had enough, I don’t have excess, which is mostly on purpose. With Jenson I had to pump because I went back to work, …

Marlowe is 4 months old! This is the month she found her voice. She loves making noises and screeching. And I mean screeching LOUD. It’s so high pitched and loud that it hurts my ears! We love this girl so much…but the last month or …
Magic Milk and a “mom of the year” moment
]About a month ago, I saw a facebook post where a mom showed 2 bottles of pumped breastmilk side by side, showing that the milk she pumped when her baby was sick was thicker and more yellow, like colostrum. I’ve always thought it was cool …
Snippets from our week
Jenson watches a couple of shows in the morning before Marlowe gets up – otherwise known as mommy time (when I either get on the computer, or get stuff ready if we are going somewhere). He picks between a few shows (Sesame Street, Super Why?, …
