proud boy and crack-berries.

my little guy... he is just so happy and proud! you are gonna get to hear me brag a little bit...

when i got home from work, c. was feeding k. dinner. i said hello and there was this big scream from my boy and he was all smiles! i gave him a kiss and he grabbed my necklace. so, i took it off and put it on him and he was just SO DARN PROUD!!! i LOVE it! and he is all about putting his cheerios on the tips of his fingers now. it is so amazing that he has mastered that skill that seems so little to all of us. :) everyday is something new for him and i absolutely love it.


now, onto crackberries.

i have a blackberry. i bought it because i will be working from home, but i will be out a lot. i wanted to be able to get out of the house but still be accessible. i also got a MAJOR deal - the t-mobile guy gave me a $100 phone for $30! i was psyched because i couldn't bring myself to spend anymore $ than that. so, the past few days on the train home from work, i have emailed from it, im'd friends, played games, and browsed the web. i am addicted. it is very scary. check this out: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=4279486

great day!

today was my first day at my new job and it was great! i like the people i work with and the job will be a lot of fun and VERY challenging, so i am looking forward to it!

also, i missed my little boy SO much today! i was kind of nervous because i have been able to spend so much time with him over the past few weeks, and while i was enjoying it, i was wishing for some "me time." i thought that i might not miss him. but once i left work and got on the train to come home, i realized just how much i had missed him and was so excited to see that big grin when i went to pick him up!

speaking of picking him up, i love his daycare. the teachers who work there are wonderful and it makes me so happy to see and hear kids talking about k.'s momS so matter of factly. one little girl told me a story that my partner had already shared with me about when she went to pick him up one day. when the little girl was telling me (and she had already id'd me as k's mom because "he looks just like you!") the story, she just said "and then he thought that his mommy had left!" i am so happy that this little girl will grow up knowing different kinds of families. :)

new job...

tomorrow i start my new job... the job where i will get to WORK FROM HOME! wow! many moms' dream come true! while i am "working from home, " i will most likely be out on the road a lot, but that is still ok, it's more time that i will have with my son. but i am afraid. what if i don't love being home with him? i think i will enjoy it, and i have wanted more time with him and c., but what if it's not what i imagine it to be? he will still be going to daycare 2 days a week, so he will have friends and playtime there... but will my playtime be "good enough" for him? and c. has been such a great stay-at-home mama that i am afraid that i cannot live up to her! this is all too crazy for me. i did not expect to feel this way. i think that i just need to be and it will all work out well. i can overanalyze things a bit... so, on that note, i am off to bed so that i can be well rested for my first day of work. wish me luck! xox, L.
ok, so blogging is new to me... so forgive my first few posts - i just want to get started.

my little guy is sleepinig right now, so i figured i would get this thing going. he is going to be 17 months old on wednesday! how is that possible?!!??? SO, that said, we are thinking about baby #2. does anyone know if health insurance covers ivf if you haven't even tried getting pregs? i carried k. and mama has no initerest in being pregs. she has this medical condition where she has 2 uteruses, but they are only as big as one, and two ovaries. so, each uterus only has one ovary. make sense? we were thining that maybe i could carry her baby this next time around. but only if insurance would cover it. we see our doc in october, but if anyone knows anything, please share!

more stories to come soon...
