Home Loud Home

It has been pure chaos here at Casa de Minnow y Peepers.  Minnow is not so sure about this whole baby sister thing.  He wouldn’t really look at her at all on Saturday and has slowly been warming up to her a little bit.  A very little bit.  At this rate, by the time she [...]

HOME

We made it.  Exhausted.  Tired.  Slightly Crazy.  Will post tomorrow or Monday in depth. 

I Love The French

Well our little Peepers was cursed with the ever present diarrhea and it was getting worse.  So, I decided that I would put her back on some other local formula as I didn’t want to have to deal with this on the 17+ hour plane ride home.  So, I went to the little market at [...]

Where Has All The Sleep Gone?

Oh the diapers….I am not sleeping much. She doesn’t like to have anything on her legs when she sleeps and it only took me until about 3:30 am last night to figure it out.  Then she slept tucked in the crook of my arm–which means I couldn’t sleep.  Needless to say that I haven’t gotten [...]

Sweet Sweet Perfection

Houston We Have Landed

I have been awake for nearly 30 hours and I am exhausted.  I never want to be cooped up in one plane for nearly 18 hours again.  Oh wait I have to do it again on Friday with a baby. 
I get to see Peepers tomorrow.  I am so frickin excited, but am so frickin tired.  [...]

Leaving On A Jet Plane (or Two)

It’s early…My first flight doesn’t leave for 6 hours but who could sleep at a time like this?  I am so excited and nervous and happy and anxious.  This adoption is slightly different from our first.  Peepers is a little more than 2 months older than Minnow was.  Peepers was nearly 4 months old before [...]

Friday Weigh In

Well sadly I gained a small amount of weight this week.  I know it is totally related to my stress.  I am stressed and haven’t been eating the best and I only made it to the gym twice.  I hate making excuses, but life just got in my way this week and I didn’t try [...]
