The day I hate my husband's schedule the most?
New Years Day. He leaves for work at 3 AM on the most dangerous driving day of the year. Hate it. Drunk idiots better stay off the road tonight.

We are now a 3 cat household.
We had 4 cats. One of them was a big meanie.  She was a very aggressive cat and would beat up our other cats.  We tried everything, but nothing helped.  She was also a big trouble maker.  Opening cupboards, pulling our clothes out of the dressers, etc.  And the worst thing was that she would fill her mouth up with litter pellets (so gross), and then scatter them throughout the house (even more...

6 month stats
We had our six month checkup yesterday.  I thought Aeva would be like 150th percentile because she has grown so much, but she’s still right in the curve for 75th percentile at 17lbs7oz, and 27” long.  Her head was in the 97th percentile though, haha. She has either been too big or too small for almost all of her clothes, because she started out in the 75th percentile for height and...

littlemenmcleod asked: Oh I know!
Some people are truly horrible. I just had to disable my anon option too.
I honestly do believe that people hate on us possibly because they're jealous of the fact that we are fantastic mothers and yes, we ARE happy in our lives.
They enjoy attempting to rain on our parades.
Keep smiling beautiful and raising Aeva the way you are, which is the best way...

Tumblr Tuesday...
This week, I recommend Memoirs of a Not So Stepford Wife, because it’s always fun and entertaining having this girl on my dash!  London is full of attitude in an adorable way (maybe not always for her mom, lol), and I admire Nate for working so hard and Nia for being an offshore wife and mommy.  Check them out! I meet a lot of great people through the directory.  If you want to recommend...

 memoirsofanotsostepfordwife replied to your photo:Aeva loves to fly in the air. Do you know how ridiculously cute this is?! ——- Thanks, it is ridiculously fun to do as well.  She laughs, I laugh, she laughs because I’m laughing… I usually end up crying I’m laughing so hard.

I just saw this commercial for one of those lifts that can take you up the stairs if you can’t walk up the stairs anymore.  Good product?  Yes.  Stupid commercial?  Very. The commercial’s storyline is this old man who had to move into the downstairs bedroom to sleep and hasn’t been able to sleep next to his wife for THREE YEARS because he couldn’t make it up the stairs to...

kaybattle asked: I just wanted to drop you a line and say your post about your experience with miscarriage made me realize I've been in a similar way experiencing my pregnancy the way you did. While I enjoy every moment of it - I mark it by vital markers in my baby's development instead of just relaxing and letting myself enjoy this experience. I've only had one miscarriage and consider myself...

When you or someone you know has a miscarriage.
Some of the wonderful women I follow here on Tumblr have gone through a miscarriage recently.  It brought back a lot of memories and feelings for me about my own experiences with miscarriage.  I’ve touched on this subject on my blog before, but I haven’t really put into words what was most helpful for me.  Everyone’s journey is different, but I hope that this will help some of...

We took Aeva swimming for the first time today!
She loved it.  I’ll spam you whenever we get home and I can edit my pics.  (We’re at a lodge for the night, fun fun fun).

forgetfulmama said: so pretty…i feel like she looks so much like your husband here. Everyone says that she looks like him, I don’t really see it, but it’s probably because I see her and him everyday.  Plus, she has almond shaped eyes like me and my mouth shape, but I think she has his head shape. mybrainexplode said: She looks surprised! What a pretty girl you made =D Thank you!...
