    Happy Birthday to My Little Boy

    April 15, 2024 - By 

    Today my little guy turns 9-years-old. Happy Birthday little man! Nine years ago, at this time I was in the hospital getting hooked up to Pitocin to induce labor to kick the little guy out. It was at exactly 39 weeks and 5 days. If he had gone the full 40 weeks, he would have been born on his dad’s birthday. And with the way things go in “mom life,” I started this post yesterday and have yet to finish it. But I’m just going to keep going with it… I had something called “Low PAPP-A” (pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A) which…

    Happy 2nd Birthday Tigger!

    June 13, 2023 - By 

    Our puppy Tigger is turning two, and he’s laying at my feet as I type this. He won’t know anything about this blog post, but he does know he has a nice cozy spot to rest under my desk anytime he wants. This dog came into our life like a hurricane, full of destruction and total chaos, and has eventually become a best buddy to us all and a big part of our family. We got Tigger by chance, as we weren’t planning to get a dog that day. We had been looking, and open to the idea, so when…

    Happy 8th Birthday Keelan!

    April 14, 2023 - By 

    Wishing a big happy 8th birthday to my son Keelan! Without him, this blog wouldn’t exist. I had no idea exactly where I’d be going with the blogging thing nine years ago when I started writing while going through IVF. Spoiler alert- the IVF was a success and the infertility blog transformed into a mom blog, and here we here. So shout out to mt little man, my little monster K, the one that made me the geeky mama behind Geek Mamas. He can drive me crazy sometimes but I love him to the moon and back.

    On the Morning of My 46th Birthday

    September 21, 2021 - By 

    This was originally title “On the Eve of My 46th birthday,” but I had to give up after several hours of interruptions from a small child demanding food and small dog intent on peeing all over my office. Not things I expected to be happening in my mid-40s, but things are generally nothing like what I might have thought they’d be when I was in my 20s. I remember saying back then, that when I’m 40 I want a convertible Porsche. But instead, right before I turned 40, I had a baby and my life took a permanent detour into…

    Thrown Off Track by My Birthday

    September 27, 2019 - By 

    I was all caught up and chugging along with blog posts in a timely manner, and then my birthday crept up on me, along with a trip to see my mom and a stop at LEGOLAND and now here we are a week later with no new posts and a giant to-do list. Hard to believe we are in the last week of September with Halloween looming in the very near future. I have NO idea what we are dressing up as either. It’s really hard to plan with a kid that changes his mind every 10 seconds and may…
