Miss Independent

February 13, 2011 By Stephanie

I am fairly certain that every mother goes through a quiet wrestling of spirit shortly after she has her firstborn baby. She feels the trifecta of terror, bliss, and exhaustion. She hears the buzzing voices of relatives, coworkers, friends, and “experts” – telling her what she should BE and DO as a mother. But, ever […]

My baby is such a “GOOD” sleeper

May 17, 2010 By Stephanie

“How is your baby sleeping?“ “Is she a ‘good’ sleeper?“ “Does she sleep through the night?“ People still ask me those questions. I always hesitate before responding. The most truthful answer is that she is a wonderful sleeper and that we are all well-rested. If there ever is any lack of sleep in our house, […]

You Asked, I Answer (Part V)

February 16, 2010 By Stephanie

Here are 3 more questions you asked…and my answers. Mary asks: Have any tips on dealing with separation anxiety in an attached baby? It’s not that I want to leave my child with strangers, but it would be nice if her grandparents could hold her once in a while… Um. Not really. Because…we don’t really […]

Nursing at Night – What to Wear to Bed

December 21, 2009 By Stephanie

In the beginning, baby #2 was a “prodigy sleeper” – sleeping 8 to 11 hours pretty much from birth. Now, at 9 months, she’s waking in the night to nurse – several times. Truth be told, I don’t really mind. I am, however, grateful that I have a few nursing nightgowns and pajama sets to […]

co-sleeping and your sex life : what you need to know

October 24, 2009 By Stephanie

“Don’t bring your baby into bed with you. It will ruin your sex life.” I’ve heard a lot of people say or write that sentiment. Authoritatively. With a swoosh of the head and a sure smile. They warn that bringing baby in between the covers will magically make your sex life disappear. Poof! You’ll lose […]

Celebrating Sleep {a giveaway}

June 19, 2009 By Stephanie

Currently, my husband and I are pretty “spoiled” when it comes to sleep. It hasn’t always been this way though. I remember the sleepless, walking-the-floors-with-restless-baby-at-2-am, “zombie days” when my older daughter was an infant…quite well. I can still remember that overwhelming exhaustion like it was yesterday. In fact, our older daughter was still waking up […]

How to get your baby to sleep through the night, Part II

June 19, 2009 By Stephanie

Okay, okay. You may be thinking groggily…letting a baby “cry it out” is heartless and harmful. I agree. BUT I’m totally and utterly weary to the bone. What do I do about that? (Yawn…) That’s a completely legitimate concern. After all, it’s hard to be a good parent when you are sleep-deprived. Here are my […]
