Au revoir Adiri…

Posted on February 22nd, 2010, by admin

Adiri is no more!
Bebeccino will no longer stock this great and innovative baby bottle.  The manufacturer went out of business a little while ago!
Like you, I am perplexed as to what happened.  I first discovered Adiri in Los Angeles, in a great store called The Right Start.
At the time, Gabriel was 10 months old and [...]

A few things I have learned over the last couple of years..

Posted on February 9th, 2010, by admin

I have an audience!  I would like to thank my audience of one for supporting me and not being porn spam!
It made me happy to know that there is actually someone out there reading what I have to say!  So, again, my heartfelt thanks!
Whether you have kids with disabilities or not, you still go through [...]

kids, helmets and, well, neurosis!

Posted on January 27th, 2010, by admin

Can you sell your children on E-Bay?  Sometimes you feel like you want to do that.  Especially in the morning, when you are trying to get out of the house.
Nothing says losing your mind like leaving the house and realizing that you forgot to put trousers on!  That happened to me last week.  I had [...]

Confessions of a Hemophiliac’s mom!

Posted on December 16th, 2009, by admin

Have I become neurotic because I fret over my son constantly, or have I always been neurotic?
It is true that you become more obsessed when you have a child.  Fear grows in you at the mere mention of your children getting hurt.
When your child has a bleeding disorder your neurotic frame of mind intensifies.  You [...]

The joys of potty training…

Posted on November 23rd, 2009, by admin

So, I’m getting all kinds of pressure to start potty training.  I have to admit that Gabriel is pretty good considering he’s only 2 and a half.  He’s been pooping in the potty for a year now. He has his little accidents, but on the whole he has the pooping down pact.
The peeing is another [...]

Already October – is it too early to plan Christmas sales?

Posted on October 12th, 2009, by admin

The kids are asleep – finally!  I get to sit in front of the laptop and write a little bit.  It’s been ages since I last wrote on my blog and I should really make it a habit to write on weekly basis.
We’re midway through October, I’m celebrating my little one’s 6 months on earth [...]

Another hospital visit and I’m thinking I need an extra strong martini!

Posted on August 6th, 2009, by admin

We had an appointment for Gabriel today at the hospital, his second home!  We’re there so often that I could swear the security guard knows who I am!
Each time I go to the hospital, I sike myself up and try to be positive.  I’m the lucky mom who gets to treat her son and then [...]

Almost 4 months later…

Posted on July 27th, 2009, by admin

It’s been nearly 4 months since my little baby came into the world and things are still as hectic.
I took 6 weeks off to adjust to having 2 kids and to recover from the C-section.
I look back on that fateful night as I tried to keep my mind off the contractions.  I tried aimlessly to [...]

To breast feed or bottle feed

Posted on June 30th, 2009, by admin

How interesting that in the 60’s, 70s and 80s EVERYONE was told to bottle feed.  They were told that formula had more nutrients than breast milk.  fast forward a few decades and the total opposite is being said.  In fact, if you don’t breast feed you are made to feel like you are evil and [...]

Is it labor??

Posted on April 13th, 2009, by admin

It’s past 2:00AM and I am 2 weeks shy of giving birth to my second son.
I have had contractions all day but I just don’t know if it’s the real thing or not.
I have been assuming that they are braxton hicks but now I’m starting to doubt it.
Needless to say, I am in stress mode [...]
