May 29, 2008

Well… apparently I can only get to write a post once a week.  Really I just don’t have that much to say but I make up for it with flikr pictures.  Last week I spent most free time packing for the event and making a dress.  Well the dress never did get done, I’m going [...]

6 weeks old

The turning point, the time when things are supposed to get easier!  Things are going well, we did just fine all weekend alone and actually I think we got more on schedule then ever since I focused on it a bit.  I didn’t get much garb done but I am working on more today and [...]

I know I complain about the cleaning ladies, that they are not all that great etc but they just whisked through in an hour and I have vacuumed floors, clean kitchen and bathrooms, and clean sheets on the bed.  All these things I am capable of doing as well or better but the time to [...]

Found my camera!

Well… it was more or less where I expected it to be but I needed to do some digging to find it.  Today has been reasonably uneventful, we went to wal-mart and the grocery store during one nap segment and now we are waiting on the end of another nap segment so we can go [...]

Thursday

Well, today was largely uneventful except that I am trying the ‘babywise’ technique with more authority.  It is a fairly easy system based on the fact that establishing healthy routines for eating and sleeping are worth working for.  Niamh has really put herself into a pretty ok 2-3h feeding schedule with a slightly longer stretch [...]
