I have had that moment too, I used to agree that I never wanted children. Now that I have one I want a bunch somedays and only Ian some. DO you mind if I write on the same topic if I link back?

Oh the Mommy doubt goes hand in hand with the Mommy guilt. One of the many lovely parts of motherhood.

I have been barfed on so many times already... didn't really mind. Thanks for reading sandyb!!

First time commenter, not a first time reader (did I just write that?) Anyway. This post says it all - that moment you realize, 'ya, I can do this' is the moment worth waiting for in a way. I'm not a mother yet, but have often thought, 'am I even cut out for motherhood?' Reading that I'm not the only one who has had that thought cross her mind rules.

I suppose more running may be in order ;). I will check out Bra & Ranties 4 sure. I need to learn to use my camera better and take some more pics. That should be a goal of mine right now.

Okay we need pictures of these scores. Time for a "What we wore" a la The Modish Mama" Do you read Bras & Ranties? I think you would like her! I guess we need to up our running if we want a pair of jeggings!

2010-03-26T00:51:03.716-07:00

Yes, wtf is up with those Microsoft 'adds'? There's no respect for public decency these days! Time was you did your addition in the privacy of your own home, not on public television with the whole world watching. I mean, children see that sort of thing, get ideas. They start to think that it's ok to take a number, combine it with another number, and arrive at a new, larger number

Ahhh Viktor... you crack me up! You had better get WTFing my friend. You have the idea and the sharp wit. I would read it =).

I thought about WTFing Health Care reform but I thought bahhh why bother it's not my freakin country.

That is a great thing to know.

2010-03-25T19:11:36.739-07:00

Fodder:

- WTF is up with those Microsoft adds about how Windows 7 was those people's idea?!?! Worst adds ever. What's the message?? That all those people had to write and call Microsoft and tell them to make something that is functional and works!? Otherwise they would've came up with another piece of shit like VISTA?!

Nice to hear that about that vet office... I was wondering what was going on, but will be happy to keep going there myself now.

And it's good you had such a good day and have been so grateful, just keep up the blog posts - I enjoy reading them!

2010-03-24T17:55:11.804-07:00

Maybe he could stomach the grilled cheese sandwiches while he was a toddler, but now that he's a wizened 3-year-old his tastes are more refined and he'd prefer rack of lamb! ;)

Just having others ideas on this issue make it so much more bearable. Love the foraging through the grass line Pamela.

2010-03-23T17:17:35.924-07:00

I know how important healthy meals and family mealtime is to you both. And I know that you've more then likely engaged him in the cooking/preparing process to help with those 3 year control issues. *lol* Nothing like that heady feeling of power in a 3 year old's hands is there, to make you want to bang your head against the wall cuz it hurts less then NOT doing it. ;) This will pass,

Maybe you should have mentioned this before I had one on the way....
ok, advice... say, you asked for this. i made it because you asked for it. if you don't want to eat this, you don't have to, but i'm not making anything else.
I'd try that... and I'll hope it works for you in case I need to try that approach...
Good luck!

Our Official Theory Of Children and Food is this:

Your sole job to provide healthy choices for the short people to consume.

After that, they eat or they don't. And be a hard-ass, because dude will come around. Eventually he and BunBun will be sick of foraging in the grass and they'll be grateful for hot and now.

2010-03-23T13:25:24.631-07:00

If it were me, I would just let him choose how much he eats. If he asks for grilled cheese and then suddenly doesn't want it, put it aside until he says he's hungry, and then offer it again. Once you let go, he can't make it a power struggle. Because you're refusing to engage in the struggle.

Might he go hungry a little? Maybe. But for an otherwise healthy 3yo, a few

I have zero advice as I don't have kids, but when I do I really hope you're still blogging so I can come and lament and seek advice too :)
Hang in there lady!

2010-03-20T20:44:47.312-07:00

Yes, always listen to your own instinct. Serves me well all the time. So glad to hear your little one is doing better. Must be hard to see him so ill.

Please try to pump or hand-express, especially if you still want to continue to breastfeed, and ideally give him/have them give him the expressed milk. Or try to nurse him there whenever possible. I had to stop once for two weeks,

2010-03-17T13:37:54.076-07:00

That is so frustrating about the clinic doctor. I have to say, it's one of the reasons we went with a midwife for this pregnancy. I have never had a good experience with doctors (which isn't to say there aren't great doctors out there!!). I am always told to "Keep an eye on it and come back if it gets worse". Sounds like your clinic doctor has been talking to any doctor I

Just another notch in my Mommy belt. Thanks for the support guys!! Frew is actually our nurse today so that feels really nice. Sometimes Victoria feels like a little neighbourhood =).

I hate to stress the emergency room but next time if I can't get in with my family doctor I am just going straight to the ER.
