Now that I’m back from a short hiatus from blogging, here’s a mashup of last week. What I learned: 1) I’m officially a grown up: Unfortunately I didn’t own up to this sooner, so it’s a bit of a sad shock. Introducing LadyP to my 2 grandmas, and then referring to my own mom as LadyP’s “grandma”…

New mom + 1st outing = Paranoia.
Today I’m owning up to my newfound paranoia. I’ve regrettably crossed to the other side… a side I swore I’d never visit prior to becoming a new mom. Thanks a lot, motherhood! So far, I’m not a fan of my new attitude. Yesterday I took my very first SOLO outing with LadyP. It was time…
Get your toddler away from my baby!
I know that I’m a ‘virgin-mommy’ and that I’m probably paranoid about things that won’t phase me once my next kid comes around, but I’ll admit to having mental issues this last month. (What else is new, you ask? Ha.) On more than one occasion lately, I’ve acted like a real you-know-what to many sweet…
MEDICAL-MONDAY: Mind your hair!

Even if I’m thinking about it, I will resist the urge to laughingly announce “Fire Down Below” should my dainty…
Have a baby, lose a husband?
Throughout my pregnancy, I was warned by my mom-friends to not get too swept away in Babyland and ignore my husband once our baby arrived… never did it cross my mind that he might ignore me! For the first few weeks that LadyP joined us, I felt like I could count the number of times…
Bottles, Boobs & Baby’s Bar.
Greetings from Baby-Land. What day is it again? I’m skipping MEDICAL MONDAY today simply because… well… I forgot it was Monday. You think I’m kidding? Ha. I wish. LadyP is doing great… she just had her bottle and is taking a nap as we speak. Yes, I said the nasty B-word: BOTTLE. Secret’s out folks: I’m…
