“real”
Somebody ‘gently’ reminded me that the title of my blog is ‘Real’ Mommy Chronicles. The reason they reminded me of this was because I was so vague about having something happen medically that prevented me from posting. The truth is that I had Mastitis, which is directly related to being a ‘Mommy.’ This person obviously […]
worth a thousand words
The most well-behaved (i.e. sleepy) Baby Brother and the most helpful/loving Big Brother any mom could ever ask for.
Ch-ch-ch-changes
First of all, let me apologize for again not posting. I had a post-delivery medical set back that left me unable to do much but lie in bed for two days. I am getting better and should be able to continue posting now…I know, big sigh of relief, right? You must be so excited. So, […]

I know, I know…

There are lots of things about pregnancy that you conveniently ‘forget’ about: not being able to lay flat on your back, the indigestion, those tendons that feel like they are ripping to shreds, having to pass up good (read: French/unpasteurized) cheese…oh, and that labor pain. I am assuming that this type of ‘pregnancy amnesia’ is […]
