In which I become a food allergy mom

by Karen on February 10, 2011

So it appears my little boy has a nasty case of recurring reflux. Rats. He spits up buckets, fusses through the night, and seems to be in pain. Thankfully, we’ve avoided the consistent inconsolable colic that typically accompanies reflux. But there have been some rough nights. He also doesn’t seem to be sleeping for longer [...]

Baby talk

by Karen on February 2, 2011

For the first several weeks of his life, the only sound Judah made was various levels of crying. It began with a little whimper which escalated to a frustrated cry. He rarely moved past the frustrated cry, but a few times we experienced the final stage of Judah’s frustration: the shrieking, angry scream. A few [...]

Are babies expensive?

by Karen on January 20, 2011

Throughout my pregnancy, everyone who gave me advice agreed on a lot of things. I’d love the baby instantly. He’d grow too fast. He’d be worth all of the discomfort of pregnancy. (They were all right.) There was one thing they couldn’t agree on, though. Half of them said to prepare myself because babies are [...]

This is my life.

by Karen on January 6, 2011

We’re moving Friday. I have a 6-week-old baby who will not sleep unless I’m holding him. I’ve been running a low-grade fever since yesterday morning. My husband came down with it last night. I can only hope that the baby won’t get sick, because the last thing I need right now is a feverish 6-week-old. [...]

How much do disposable diapers and formula cost?

Oh, hey. It’s a post about money! This weekend, Judah turned three weeks old. For the first two weeks of life with a newborn, I tried to keep things as simple as possible. I was still recovering from the birth and getting used to taking care of a baby, so I was okay with using [...]

Slowly reentering the land of the living

by Karen on December 14, 2010

I just realized it’s been two weeks today since we brought Judah home from the hospital. Really? It’s only been two weeks? It feels like a lifetime. It’s amazing how difficult it’s been for me to do anything but care for Judah in those two weeks. Considering the fact that the boy can’t even roll [...]

Judah’s first days

by Karen on December 8, 2010

I’ve spent all of my waking hours holding a baby for the past 11 days. Today, I’ve finally got him situated comfortably in my sling, and my hands are relatively free for typing. We’ll see if it lasts long enough for me to write about the rest of our hospital stay. After my four-hour labor, [...]

From stomach flu to baby in 24 hours

I promise this blog will someday be a personal finance blog again. At the moment, though, eight pounds of adorable have sort of eclipsed everything else in my life, so he might as well monopolize the blog. And now a birth story! I promise to leave out the gory parts. Mostly. I should start by [...]
