Fishing for grandpa. Wednesday was our “free day” before the wedding (as in the day where nothing was planned) so we kept it mellow with no plans.  V was still showing signs of fussiness, but we still didn’t know if it was her being sick or just stranger anxiety heightened by the foreign setting.  She’s usually the most happy go lucky girl, so it was really bizarre to have a high maintenance kid on our hands.  I had a bunch of mixed feelings about it though because she was nursing a lot more than she normally… Read more >

Hindsight is 20/20 and looking back I can now say with certainty, this was the day when we should have realized something was wrong with my baby girl.  The poor thing was up way early and then after I nursed her she snuggled back in bed with Kyle and I and slept for another few hours (!!!!).  This is inanely unlike her.  She doesn’t snuggle at all.  Like, at. all.  She won’t curl into bed with us, she won’t be rocked, she won’t tolerate anything that seems like a hug.  None of it.  So her… Read more >

The next morning we were up early (except P) because V hadn’t yet adjusted to the time change.  She was up at 4 something though so I guess it could have been worse. After making peeps a light (HA!) breakfast of eggs, waffles, and bacon we headed to the Wailea Marriott Resort’s kid pool.  I had yogurt and granola because I’m still into sweet breakfasts.  They had Kite Hill’s almond yogurt at the Maui Whole Foods so I obviously went for it.  Nothing like paying 200% the price of something that’s already $$$ on mainland…  But it’s… Read more >

Cheesy title aside, we have been living the sweet life in Hawaii for the past two weeks.  My sister got married on 4/8/16 and we sandwiched that major event with a week of family time on either side.  We got back last night and I just uploaded 700+ photos on to my comp that date back to weeks before we even headed to the island.  That said, I fear if I go all the way back to the beginning of March I may never catch up to date. So how about I just start off where I… Read more >

I went out of town Friday through Sunday and left both kiddos behind with Kyle.  I have never left V for longer than a few hours – definitely not overnight.  To say I had anxiety…would be a ridiculously tame way of putting it. Guess how it went?  Swimmingly!  I won’t dismiss Kyle’s fantastic parenting with qualifiers, but I did prep every single little thing to make his life run as smoothly as possible.  All my fears (that she wouldn’t take a bottle and I’d come home to a weaned baby who didn’t want anymore milk for… Read more >
