Doctor Mom

Monday, June 11, 2007

I spent most of Mother’s Day in the hospital. Below you can see the picture of my poor baby, Lawrence, hooked up to an IV. He had been feverish (up past 104 degrees) and throwing up the previous week. We had taken him to his pediatrician two days after it started. He found that both [...]

Had to record this…

Friday, May 4, 2007

I had to record this for posterity. We had to take Lawrence to the emergency room in the middle of the night because he was having severe abdominal pain. He had been sick the previous week with a fever and throwing up. We found out at the hospital that he had pneumonia, but also was [...]

What didn’t work in potty-training

Tuesday, April 17, 2007

So here we are three months after Lawrence finally became toilet trained. It’s as wonderful as I thought it would be. Not only do I not have to change poopy diapers anymore, but a lot of the pants that I thought were getting too small get another few months in them now that he doesn’t [...]

Loving hug and kiss between mother and son.
“I love you, honey.”
“I love you too, Mommy.”
Then:

How Not to Blow it When You Buy a Woman a Gift

Wednesday, November 22, 2006

I’m not trying to be mean, but guys, as a group you have no idea how to shop for your woman. There are [...]

Move over, Boy George

Thursday, November 16, 2006

Okay, I’m probably going to parenting hell for this, but I swear he begged to wear my earrings and then asked me to take a picture:

Granted, he didn’t say anything about posting it on the Web, but he’ll need fodder for therapy someday anyway.

Bag Lady

Monday, November 13, 2006

Have you ever noticed how many freaking bags and backpacks you use once you’re a parent?
Last night I had to prepare three bags for Lawrence to take to preschool today. One had his sheet and blanket for nap-time, which I have to take home on Fridays and wash over the weekend, and then of course [...]

We all know that look

Friday, October 27, 2006

I still don’t know what he was plotting.

Too many bed buddies?

Tuesday, October 24, 2006

And yes, I did move the big one off his face after I took the picture. George actually thought he had to point that out to me. C’mon, who’s the paranoid one in this parenting unit? I’m the winner by a mile.
