Dry Skin (

I recovered from my cold just in time to host a wonderful Halloween play date (on Halloween) for my older son's play group. It was great fun...only my son was the only one who didn't want to be in the wonderful costume I made him. Got it on him for a...
Did anyone catch tonight's episode of House..."Lucky Thirteen?" If you're unfamiliar with the tv show House, it's about this nasty, totally un-PC physician at a NJ hospital named Gregory House. He has the knack for diagnosing all of those cases that no...
As if my elephant skin hands weren't bad enough, in the past two days I've developed little splits on my knuckles that are now bleeding. This is with multiple applications of super thick hand cream throughout the days. Think I'm going to have to go buy...
I had my appointment for a cleaning (just a few weeks late given the birth of my second son) this past Monday. Feels great to have those squeaky clean teeth...until your next meal. Prior to getting pregnant the second time I had requested that they update...
Knock on wood...last night, for the first time our little one slept nearly 5 hours straight...in his own bed! Yes, that means I actually slept! He's been doing better the last two or three nights sleeping in his crib, and sleeping a few hours straight...
I learned tonight that a pumice stone not only exfoliates your feet, but also is great for removing the dry, cracked skin on the tips of my fingers. Now I hopefully won't stick to everything.
I received my post pregnancy lab work today in the mail. It's been a little while since I've had blood work sent to me, so I'm curious to see how my numbers compare. However, it brought back how I was diagnosed. As I was reviewing the blood work, the...
I've made it to the final finish line in the birthing process - six weeks post delivery. For the first 2 weeks home, I had the no heavy lifting, no driving, and no more than once up and down the stairs a day rules. Add the no bath, swimming, or exercise...
I think my son and I have finally got on a good nursing/sleeping schedule now. He is going in for another weight check to see how much he's gained in the past week tomorrow, so here's hoping that he's not only up, but up over birth weight at this point...
Wow, time flies. I can't believe we've been home over a week...and our little peanut has been in the world for 2 weeks now. In the last week, the swelling in my lower legs, ankles, and feet has subsided (thankfully). However, I've developed a good case...
I'm quickly approaching the finish line, but have NO ambitions of having things happen prior to July 30th. I am getting to the point where I am seriously wondering how, with so little energy and such an active 26 month old, I am going to be able to productively...
Yes, all but 2 of the knuckles on my hands are so dry they are cracked and bleeding. Nothing like making a bed to notice that the red smear isn't part of the pattern. Fun is. I've been using this great honey-based non-soap product to wash my hands hoping...
Yup, it's there. Somewhere my normally functioning brain is taking a vacation. I missed my OB appointment this week. Not because I was busy, but just because I forgot about it until tonight...only to realize it was Monday morning. And what was I doing...
One of the things I decided to do when my son was old enough for me to be gone more than an hour was to "work" as a kitchen assistant at a local kitchen store that holds classes several times a week. The joy of this "job" is that if you don't want to...
Since I've had a nice sore throat since Thursday and I have started to experience some congestion, I decided last night that rather than lay on the couch...where I'd probably just fall asleep...I'd go up and get into bed. This was at about 9:15pm. Although...
