This cold virus is hanging on and making me feel more nauseated….bleh
Moshie is now fine and bouncing off the walls….I am dragging trying to feed her and keep up with her…
So far I have tried to cure this nausea with vitamin B6 every 4 hours, tums before every meal and dramamine. My neighbor has been a god-send in the last few days bringing me food, when I am desperate and consoling me with her company.
Yesterday was much better than today..one step forward and one back…

This ends the softball season for me and for some reason I thought this might happen. I told one of our coaches/ the priest at church. It was our churches team, in mostly a mens only league. I probably would have been warming the benches lots but I was improving with practice.

I’m visiting family this week so I am “live from Upstate NY”! Thankfully my cousin is letting me stay with her and her family. She’s got an already baby safe place. Luckily, she is understanding when I shoot my mouth off. Thank goodness.

We watched Chicago the musical with that Bridget Jones chickie, Queen Latifah, “that guy Madonna dated”, and (briefly Dominic West).

I’ve been making a list of the many ways my cousin and I are alike and so far I’ve got: We Both

1. make lists on old mail
2. leave dirty diapers around the house
3. like cartoons
4. are absent minded (ADD)
5. found schoolwork was difficult
6. have cluttered counters
7. put papers in piles (where they are safe)
8. can’t find papers when they are filed in our file cabinets because we think we left them in a “safe pile”

My new motto: When your good to mama……..mama’s good to you

Talk Baby Talk

On April 22nd I will be hosting a screening of The Motherhood Manifesto

Other upcoming events include….

I will be cross-posting events and information from an Triangle MomsRising…this is their blog.

Yesterday I created a banner for the site!!

When I get back from my trip I will post my thoughts about this event!

Sunday, March 30, 4-6 Representative Melanie Wade Goodwin, a state legislator representing Richmond and Montgomery counties, will be joining us to talk about the NC General Assembly, how we can be effective advocates for children, and what its like to be the mother of small children and a state legislator. With the birth of her second child at the end of April, she will make history as the first legislator in NC history to give birth while in office. She is traveling over an hour at 8 months pregnant to speak to us because she’s excited about what we’re trying to do. We really want to have a good turnout, so please try to join us and invite your friends!
