Semi-Brief Bio/Blog Introduction

My name is Diana. 8 soon to be 9 months ago I gave birth to my firstborn and maybe only child (the verdict is TBD if hubby and I will have kid #2 once our son is 2) Maverick on June 25, 2016. I love my son more than life itself. I wouldn't trade him for the world and I wouldn't want to go back to my life pre-kid (even though it was calmer).

I enjoy writing and it's a good outlet for me! I've blogged before about various topics. This morning I did an incredibly stupid thing (many moms do this) and this afternoon I was inspired to write about it along with all the other dumb things I will do in the future with mommy brain. I'm a working mother so this adds fuel to the fire, trying to take care of a baby and balance a full time job is not easy.

So my fellow mommies if you stumble upon this blog I hope you enjoy it! Motherhood is rewarding but it's also very hard. It's very hard getting two people out the door on time (to moms with multiple children, I salute you for getting 3 or more people out the door on time), it's hard taking care of a tiny human plus yourself, it's hard to make any attempts at cleaning the house or doing household chores while taking care of the kids, it's hard keeping up with your own life while you care for kids, no wonder we do stupid things we're focused on trying to make sure our little one gets what they need while we get the bare minimum of what we need. Cheers to you my fellow mommies and hard workers. Enjoy my entries....if you find any time to read them!

Conflicting emotions

As a mom I have many conflicting emotions. I love going to work because it's usually a "break" I'm guaranteed 5 days a week at the same time I feel bad I'm not there to take care of my son. I get frustrated and upset at how hard it really is to be a mom and how much self sacrifice it takes and at the same time I feel bad for complaining because I am lucky enough to have a baby when many women aren't. I also feel like I'm being selfish every time I bitch about how hard it is. I feel upset when I don't think my husband understands how hard it is but at the same time I appreciate what he does to make my life easier and his attempts to make things go smoothly for me at times. I feel guilty if I get frustrated and upset that my son might end up feeling some of my anxiety while I'm trying to do my best to care for him and get both of us where we need to be at times. I'm also constantly worrying about being a good mother to him.  What conf...

This morning takes the cake!

I'm very lucky in the fact that I don't have to put my son in daycare at the moment. It allows hubby and I to save tons of money in daycare expenses (some of that money goes towards buying my mother-in-law, my mom, and my sisters awesome Christmas & Birthday presents as well as occasional just because gifts for the free childcare) and our son gets to be with family members all the time. He gets to spend each day with one of his grandmothers and sometimes one of his two aunts (depending on whether they have work or their off when my mom watches him). This morning was a Baldwin Grandma day. Which means he is spending the day with my mom and I have to drop him off. We live with my MIL so when she has him I just have to leave him home with her. Everything went fairly smoothly. I woke up at 5, the baby slept until 6 which allowed me to actually make myself eggs this morning for breakfast and put most of my make up and clothes on before he woke up. I left the house around 7:20i...

I'm trying to change your diaper!

As many mommies know once your baby starts moving and rolling around it's increasingly difficult to change their diapers. Last night it took both Shawn and me to get Maverick's PJs on. Here's what happened this afternoon when my family came with the baby on my lunch break. I got in the car and I smelled poop. So once my sister drove to Starbucks and my dad and I went in and picked up the order I laid Maverick down on my sister's car seat to change his diaper. He definitely pooped. He gave me protest to lay down because now he hates laying down and when I got his diaper off he was trying to sit up again. I managed to get him wiped down and I wrangled the diaper on him and than I found out we had to change his onesie because there was poop on that. My sister and I got his onesie off and got another one and while we were doing that he managed to grab the wipes, opened the container, and started eating a wipe. I tried to get it out of his mouth and he bit me. After my dad...
