It’s a girl! But you already knew that

Lindy Joy Boston weighing in at a burning 7lbs 15oz came Sunday night at 10:57pm.  The birth was AMAZING and everything I had prayed for (minus the dramatic ending but more on that later). Unlike Christian’s birth, my contractions came nice and regular. They didn’t have to use any drugs and it was pretty much [...]

My water broke!! (Yes, I’m blogging while in labor. So?)

1:30 am…. Pregnant Mary FINALLY getting some much needed Tylenol PM sleep. Ah, sweet relief.
1:40 am… Woken up to frisky hubbie kissing my back. I got mad because now that I was awake I realized I had to pee. That in itself is a huge ordeal.  Wiggle to the edge of the bed, rock back [...]

36 weeks down and 4(?) to go!

Have I mentioned how seriously uncomfortable this pregnancy has been?  I finally figured out what they meant when I was advised by strangers, doctors, and parents to “give your body a chance to recover”.  Not that we’ve had a choice in the frequency of pregnancies and even if we did, I don’t know that I’d [...]

My website has moved

Hubbie moved my blog to it’s new home last night! (Thanks Manchops! Muah).  The new address is perfektlymary.com .  You should be redirected to it automatically but if you’re linked to me or have me in a feed reader you’ll need to update your link.
Hope you’re having a great three day weekend!

Something old, something *new*

Something old:

Something new:
Some of you have probably already noticed it, but my new blog name is “Perfektly Mary“. Tada!  Manchops is in the process of switching it over and we’re making slight design updates to the site. But for now, you can update your links to me with my new name!  No more confusing identity [...]

And the winner is…

Has anyone else seen Drew Carey on the Price is Right? Is it just me or does he seem extremely bored with the gig and rude to the contestants?
Anyways….  Did I say I was going to pick a winner for the contest two weeks ago?  I meant two weeks ago “mom time” which is somehow [...]

Wordless Wednesday on Thursday - I’m that good

I seriously had to google how to spell Wednesday just now. It’s been that kind of day week month.
This makes me happy…

Midwife update

I had my apt with the lovely, capable, refreshing Donna, CMNP on Monday. It was perfect. Her office is actually a house that’s been renovated to be an office, but still feels very much like a house. As soon as I walked into the familiar, non sterile atmosphere I knew I had made [...]

“All done!”

28 minutes ago I put the kids down for a nap and started my morning routine of consuming my coffee addiction and checking email. 1 minute ago I heard the kids’ door open…(no one besides myself and the kids are home)…..I turn towards their room, heart pounding, ready to take someone out and see….

A proud [...]

My dreams

Last year was really difficult, but I was so proud to stand beside Dustin as he made one of his dreams a reality. He started his own business from scratch. He joined what makes America so great and became an entrepreneur. He risked it all, gave up his corporate job and steeped into the [...]
