your daddy gets an A++

-
your dad was off today and i have to give him kudos on his productivity level. i haven't been feeling as good lately which has interrupted my productivity and increased my sleep which in turn takes valuable time away from my "to do" list.

daddy was a rockstar today. i have listed some of the ways.


typically i make the grocery list. buy the groceries. plan the weekly meals.
i have been having aversions to meat which has complicated things in the buying and eating dinner department along with washing dishes that have meat remnants on them. 
i started a grocery list and delegated that john better make some creative decisions at the store.


again. due to some recent naus i am trying to increase my protein from the below helpful naus tips.
john introduced me to our blender. and it is my newest best friend. 
cup of milk-scoop of protein powder-banana or strawberry =
in minutes your own smoothie and 28g of protein to mark in the books.
i have been mentally thanking your daddy for sharing his blender.



came home and the dishes were cleaned. see above re: meat aversions.
usually i do most of the dish clean up.


a full fridge.
your daddy is very cognizant to what i am eating+drinking and is supportive of my organic-y food choices and new diet until the naus passes.


A LOVE AFFAIR.
ok, so no cravings, but i have to admit my love affair with pizza.
2 weeks ago auntie mare ordered dominos and it was the best 2 cheese slices ever. sad?
after that i just wanted pizza. went to whole foods and got a slice of the most scrumptiously tasting pizza - trumping the dominos.
then we attempted some home made with lots of accoutrement and whole wheat dough. 
although it didn't turn out perfect and caused a quarrel it still made the cut.
and today your daddy texted me the above message. he went to findlay market to get some yums and picked up a marghareta pizza.
...and since i read it this morning i was in a "pizza state of mind." it was worth so the wait all day.

so a thanks to your daddy is marked down! he is already taking good care of you via me.

Awesome John. What a team. I remember having weird stomach feelings when pregnant with CareBear. I leaned towards the usual crackers. What a wild ride hormones are.

But pizza is a good fix for any reason we can think up!

the story of stella.

it's been really hard to sit down and write this. not just because i keep falling asleep or stella needs to nurse... sure that is a part of it, but, there is a vulnerable part to writing this birth story that i have been having a hard time wrapping my head around. i'm an open book and this post will be a piece of that open book, but know that i still am sifting through some anger that things didn't go as "planned" even though for 10 months i mentally prepared for all possible outcomes and knowing the plan may not happen.  ...and per usual i didn't hold back on details. if you can't handle it, sorry. this is birth. INTRO: it was most important for me to bring our child into the world in the most organic way possible. after lots of research, resources and conversations we decided the best route to do this would be a home birth. we chose our midwife, found an amazing doula , and i received back up care the entire pregnancy from 2 obgyn's that i c

waiting for our arrival

over and over again, this theme rolls onward  in my life right now. i feel aligned, mostly positive, gracious and overall pretty happy.  there's been multiple times i wanted to sit and write this piece, but then there's this part of me that says "but what if things didn't work out as you said?" "what if you go broke?" "people will think you are tooting your own horn..."  but, honestly why do i care? this is me and if people get something from it, great. if not, also, great. same reason for me not going to use capital letters here... because i don't feel like it. like it or don't. negative self talk is so self deprecating. we wouldn't let someone talk to us like that, but we let ourselves talk us out of EVERYTHING! this is a little tale and peek into our life.  over a year ago john left his comfortable job with good benefits (no, really the best benefits there are, kind of benefits). he could do this job with his eyes closed,

what i have learned my baby's first month

-
i have a guest post coming about lessons learned in a baby's first year and i started tracking what i was learning because every day seemed like a new lesson. i'm certain this will grow. i have learned: 1. how much more laundry a little makes (not including cloth diapers).  our water bill coming must be astronomical. 2. it's not easy to be the same wife you once were while tending to a little.  our love may be stronger, but it takes more effort. 3. projectile vomiting is common among ferocious eating newborns. 4. large breasts are completely overrated. 5. how much you will melt looking at your husband with his daughter. 6. i'm not sure i can fathom someone else taking care of my child even if it's family. 7. that cheering over and congratulating large burps is a common occurrence. 8. that my driving has tremendously improved (and everyone else has become worse). 9. how fast the days go by because  a) we nap b) there is always something (everything) that ne
