While I was at work helping a bunch of new mums and their freshly born babies, my own boy was hanging with his Dad at home and at the park. My husband sends me an email each work day titled 'adorable things your son did today'. Today's email went like this:
1. learned that screaming to get my attention and then quieting down and pointing at what he wants is pretty effective
2. figured that cleaning stuff by wiping it with dish rags is pretty fun
3. sang a song in the elevator that went maa ma ma ma ma maaa ma ma ma ma ma ma mama ma ma mamaaa
...and I was sent these two pictures
I also temporarily contracted baby fever this afternoon while working. It was pretty intense but I didn't get a fever and the symptoms passed within a few hours.
Looking for something?
Well, Hello There!
Mama in the City since 2008 and blogging since 2009!
My first apartment baby is now a full on boy and we struggle with finding space in our condo for his growing toy collection. I'm also a new mum to our second apartment baby, born January 13, 2012!
I have a husband who is an excellent cook and takes amazing photos. I work as a labor and delivery nurse and really love the work that I do and gave birth to baby #2 at my work place.
I use this space to write about my family and to share my passion about breastfeeding, birth and parenting. I have a fantastic purse collection and have loved watching it grow, mostly lovely gifts over the years from my husband. I currently have a closet full of purses that are too small or impractical to fit a diaper or sippy cup in, and so they are on hold for future years.
Have a question or a comment? Email me! I also love to read comments left on posts, so feel free to leave me a note!
