Cradle Songby William BlakeSleep, sleep, beauty bright,Dreaming in the joys of night;Sleep, sleep; in thy sleepLittle sorrows sit and weep.Sweet babe, in thy faceSoft desires I can trace,Secret joys and secret smiles,Little pretty infant wiles.As thy softest limbs I feelSmiles as of the morning stealO’er thy cheek, and o’er thy breastWhere thy little heart doth rest.O the cunning wiles that creepIn thy little heart

  1. He makes the world’s best peanut butter and jelly sandwich – whole wheat white bread, extra crunchy peanut butter, blackberry preserves with seeds, sliced on the diagonal.  mmmmm.
  2. He is smart.  I’ve had people think before that we are unequally matched because I went to graduate school and he has an associates.  In reality that only shows our differing student loan debts!  He is intelligent and we always have the best conversations. (I’ll forgive the fact that he finds finger skateboards interesting).
  3. He is side-splittingly funny.  He can always make

So if you blog on blogger.com follow me by clicking on the button on the far right column. I will reciprocate! If you aren’t on blogger I would still like to add you to my blogroll with Google Reader – leave a comment and I’ll add you too… Continue reading Follow Me!

This article at Kelly Mom should be required reading for new breastfeeding moms (actually the whole site is a godsend – bookmark it!).  My baby fusses or cries during nursing – what’s the problem?It seems that no matter how much you tell yourself otherwise it is just instinctual to assume you are doing something wrong when you baby isn’t happy.  In the evenings Aellyn is very fussy from 6-11 PM.  She wants to nurse non-stop.  I’m fortunate that nursing works – some babies fuss no matter what you do.  It is easy to get caught up in what I’m… Continue reading Breastfeeding Affirmations

Poor Aellyn has baby acne. :( Her perfect soft skin looks so irritated. It is hard to not “do” something about it. I’m trying breastmilk since it is anti-bacterial and anti-viral. Breast milk has lots of uses I bet you didn’t know about!… Continue reading Baby Acne

Aellyn smiled at me today!  I mean really smiled in response to something I did (play with her nose) she smiled with her eyes and her mouth and she did it more than once.  It was magical and I actually cried!  It was such a strong emotion of seeing her personality – seeing her soul through her eyes instead of just seeing an infant.  I know that it is all going to be a rush of new things now for the next… Continue reading Melt My Heart
