The Story of Simzgirl

Last night Ana slept for the longest period ever: 7.5 hours. I put her down at 10pm and she didn’t make a peep until a little after 5:30am. It was amazing. The only thing that would have made it more amazing would have been if I actually got to enjoy it. While Little Miss was […]

I was reading over at Wonderbliss about some freebies and samples (I am all about the free goodies) and she just got a free starter tea set from Adagio Tea, a Loose Tea company. Apparently they are running a promotion where you link to their site and get a free gift.
Go check it out! You […]

Scrubbed poop off the wall
Stayed in bed all day with another female
Read blogs in the middle of the night
Tried Baby & Me Yoga
Been so relieved to see poop
Left clothes in the dryer overnight
Willingly got up at the crack of dawn to feed […]

After scrubbing down Ana, and everything she came […]

Dear Ana,
Today you are officially one month old. It is so strange, because it seems like you have always been with us. I can hardly remember what life was like before you were born, and quite frankly, I don’t want to. You have changed my life in the most amazing way possible. Your father […]

I had a request this morning from Carole for some more baby pictures. Not wanting to disappoint, here ya go. I like to call this one “Momma gets to take a shower.”

Here is Ana’s signature facial expression when confronted with a camera. I assume she is thinking something along the lines of “Woman please. I […]

Happy 2007! I wanted my first post of the year to be something special, but as the days passed and I still hadn’t come up with something, I just put more and more pressure on myself to write something fabulous. So Simeon and I decided it was time to update my site. What do you […]
