So, Teddy you have evolved from feral to Frankenstein.  Ok, ok, we all know It’s Dr. Frankenstein and “the monster” but this bit would be less fun if I just called you a monster.  So, we’re sticking with the general population view of what Frankenstein is.  Anyway, Teddy you can walk! Well, you’ve taken steps…

Teddy, you are basically feral.  You poop your pants, you yell at us randomly with neither rhyme nor reason, you run around on all fours, and only a generous twenty percent of your food makes it into your mouth, the rest the floor.  Don’t get me wrong you’re cute as well, and you love to…

NIPT is in! and we got the inside scoop.  SI, my 12-week-old plum, you’re a girl!  Admittedly you probably already knew you were a girl since you are you.  Then again, I don’t think Teddy knows what a boy or a girl is at this point, based on his insistence on calling me Mama in…

Ok so this took longer than I expected to write… Lets be honest it takes a bit to write these and between having a huge project at work (just finished) a prego mom who has just the absolute worst nausea (literally 24/7), and a child who I love dearly but soaks up all my attention. …

I thought the next time I wrote about Covid it would be a reflection on Kate and I’s early experiences with Covid / lockdowns, but nooooooooooooooo… Guess who got Covid in Montana – This guy!  I left on Thursday, came home Sunday and tested positive and the beginning of March.  Don’t you worry, in that…

God a love a good deal. My new favorite restaurant in Seattle is called List and is a solid B+ in food, but my god the food is like Iowa prices. They do 50% off before 6:30pm. So basically they are saying come have a regular dinner and pay half what you’ll pay anywhere else…

So what does it mean to have a first word?  If you baby falls in the woods, does it make a sound… wait no, that’s not right…  How about if a baby makes a sound that sounds like a word, is it their first word?  What if a baby says the same sound over and…

I feel like I should write about Covid… I mean Covid basically started three years ago.  Ok yes its Covid 19 so its slightly over three years (2019) but it wasn’t in Washington (that we know) till January 2020.  By that point we were mocking its existence.  It feels like yesterday.  It wasn’t, but it…

So, my dad died in early December.  I should have written about this then, but I just wasn’t there emotionally or mentally.  I came home and distracted myself with work.  Then I distracted myself with the holidays.  Finally, I distracted myself with you.  It feels raw to have a loved one pass.  My dad has…

I’m sick.  I mean I’m not acting sick.  My symptoms are almost non-existent.  I sweat while I sleep.  That may be an understatement.  I sweat a lot while I’m sleeping… for like a month.  It’s annoying, so, so annoying.  So, I went to the doctor and was like “please I am tired of waking up…
