Friday Leftovers
- Of course after I wrote this post about 45 minute naps, Presley has been having beautiful afternoon naps. I don't want to jinx it though so that's all I'll say.
- It's been awhile since I've posted all the recent pics I have of the girls so check in this weekend, I'll overload you with them!
- Have you ever been obsessed with something and then for no reason just given it up? I used to live for celebrity gossip. I would go on this site multiple times a day. Now it's been probably half a year since I've bothered. I have no idea why, I just stopped checking. The other day I was getting groceries in the slowest line EVER and grabbed a US magazine to leaf through while I waited. I really have been out of it...Elton John has a baby? Natalie Portman is pregnant? Lindsay Lohan hasn't died from a drug overdose? I didn't know any of these things!
- I'm starting to feel like I have some free time again so am excited to start making things for Neat Nat Style again. Stay tuned...sock monkeys, tutus, reusable shopping bags and more!
- I'm reading a really fabulous book right now: The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. It's fantastic and really motivational. She has this one quote about raising children that I thought was so good...the days are long, but the years are short. Ain't that the truth?
- This time around I don't have a group of peers to meet up with once a week to share baby stories, compare sleepless nights, debate soothing techniques, etc. What I found instead? A group of ladies across Canada with similar due dates on BabyCenter Canada. I still chat with moms from Samara's birth club frequently. Presley's birth club moved to Facebook to facilitate discussions and these are some incredible mamas. I can count on them for support, laughs and commiseration on the tough days/nights.
- I also have 2 blog friends that had babies really close to me...Bear who is a couple of weeks younger than Presley and Sydney who is exactly 2 months younger than Presley. How cool to share similar experiences with mamas you've never even met in real life!
- It's been a year since I've had a glass of wine. There is something wrong with that (though nothing wrong with NOT drinking while pregnant!).

I'm the same with celeb gossip and Perez. My theory is that it's so unimportant when you are in the throes of new babies/pregnancy!
And speaking of Neat Nat, I was going to say you should make some sleep sacks (when you mentioned how Samara grew out of hers). You are super crafty and they can't be hard to make right?
Glad P is sleeping during the day for you. Oh, and want to hear something funny. This whole week we cut out the dream feed with AJ and he's slept way better. I'm NEVER giving advice to anyone again!!!
I am thinking of asking Ed to bring home a bottle of wine tonight. Just a small glass...are you thinking of having a glass. Cheers to you!
I'm totally out of the celebrity gossip loop too! And as you know, I used to be a daily Perez checker too.
I totally could have walked right past numerous celebs while we were in LA and I wouldn't have had a clue!
I, also, don't have a group of mamas around here, so online friends are great! I love being able to connect with other mothers online, as that is about the easiest way!
Glad Presley is napping better! Hopefully this is a staying habit!
Oh my goodness, make sleepsacks, please! I agree with CanadianMama! We are sleepsack people and I would much rather buy them from you that the big 'R store!
And yes, I have a internet mommy group too that I love, I'm a bump.com girl myself! Yeah for virtual friends!
I used to read Perez all the time too! Just like you, it just stopped. I think that maybe one day (or ten) I got overwhelmed, forgot to check and then never remembered again.
It's amazing how quickly something can be put on the back burner when the real and more important things get taken care of. Of course, this isn't to say that I won't find time to check in on the gossip eventually.
And, so happy you're getting some sleep :)
Best Birth Club Ever.
That is all. :)
