Like Baby, Like MommIE

I've recently noticed that when you have a baby they not only start to imitate you, but you start to imitate them. For example:

- It's near impossible for me to not smile when my baby is smiling at me.

- I swear, I coo more than my baby.

- Whenever I try to burp my baby, I burp.

- Toys are FASCINATING! But to be honest, they were never not fascinating...

- I poo when I have to poo! Well, I make it to the toilet first. But no wasting time!

- I spend a lot of time rolling around on the floor these days.

- This morning, my husband drooled on me. Yup.

Floor Fun!

I'm not complaining though. I like having an excuse to act like an infant.

Spider-ific!

Today, a spider started crawling on me while I was driving and I DIDN'T crash the car. It's true. Becoming a mother changes your instincts. =)

After calmly pulling the car over to the side of the road, I gently pushed the spider outside (with my flip-flop), all without screaming. As freaky as those things are, I can't bring myself to kill them...

When I started driving again, I noticed spider #2 chillin' on his web between the side-view mirror and door handle. I couldn't find a place to pull over and felt bad that this one might blow off in the wind and die.

There's my spider! Terrifying, isn't it =)

Luckily, he held on until I reached my destination and I made my husband safely remove him from my door handle! I almost gave the spider my car for keepsies...

Nap Time

My son, Montag, sleeps really well at night. But for his nap-times during the day, he requires being held. If I even THINK about setting him down, he will wake up.

Today, after a late night and early morning, he slept long and hard AND let me set him down by himself for each nap! I was quite proud of him!

Lil' Sicko

That is, until I noticed he had a tiny cough and decided to take his temperature this evening. Alas, he has gotten his first (slight) fever...

Let's hope this passes by quickly!

P.S. I don't really have a P.S., but I never feel right ending a message with just my name...

First Post!

How do you start a blog? What do you make the first post about? Do you introduce yourself and explain what the blog will be about, or do you just start posting and act like you've always been doing it?

 I think I'll go with the latter, mostly because I have NO idea what this blog is going to actually be about. So, internets, welcome to Ruthless Mother Blogger!

Yours Truly!

P.S. If you DO want to know about me or this blog, I'm sure I'll post an "About The Author" type section soon (after I find my niche in the online world.).

P.P.S. You may notice that there are posts pre-dating this one. I wrote a few posts about past events and dated them to match. Let's all just pretend that I started blogging back then, okay? =)

Oh, What A Difference A Year Can Make

One year ago today, I had the joy of experiencing two pink lines on a dollar store pregnancy test.

Nice, dark line

It's safe to say, we were ecstatic!

Moments after finding out

While we wanted to wait to tell the world, we couldn't wait to tell my our families.

And life has just been getting better and better since.

P.S. Happy belated birthday, Mommy =)
