*sigh* it's like our baby got a virus & forgot how to sleep more than an hour or two in a row. # A hoarse baby is probably one of the most pitiful noises I've ever heard. # This working mother thing is kind of exhausting. # And the Super Bowl slowly starts to take [...]

Survived day 1 of daycare. Kept myself so busy around the house I sort of forgot to eat anything but a protein bar for lunch. # Since I haven't had to set an alarm for months, of course I forgot to turn it on for this morning's wake up. Good lesson for tomorrow. # I'm [...]

The baby's asleep on my tummy. I know I should put her in her crib, but she's so cuddly! #

If I get another comment about wearing a burp cloth & having them in my back pocket, I will unleash Mama Bear. #WatchOutFamily # Could also use a sign that tells baby's age, weight, sleep habits & the statement that no, I am not ready to go back to work. # Baby did really well [...]

3 wks left of maternity leave & a partner e-mailed me about an assignment for when I return & wished me a "super holiday." # USPS just delivered Priority Mail at 6:25 AM and rang the doorbell twice. Wtf. # Sleeping when the baby sleeps isn't working for me at 3 am b/c my brain [...]

I feel like it will be awhile before @bcalhoon & I will need to set a morning alarm. # The time is right to make new friends (in bed). #fortunecookie # The worst Christmas story ever: Wisconsin vs. Charlotte the deer http://t.co/K1qQxB3 # Not sure what to get the baby for Christmas. I know she [...]

How the heck am I going to function at work next month? No, seriously. # It's been a rough couple of days. # Baby slept through the night!!!! # Went to work Christmas party. Weird to have conversations about cases again. It was nice to eat hot dinner with @bcalhoon though! # Bless my mom [...]

So thankful maternity leave is 12 weeks & not 6. #stilltired #dontknowwhatimdoing # Cohosting baby shower 1.5 hrs away, leaving baby at home w/ @bcalhoon. Send good thoughts to both of us. I'll have to pump in a parking lot. #

I didn't drink any caffeine or eat any chocolate today. So why won't this baby go to sleep?!?! # Evidently there's another growth spurt at 6 weeks… *headdesk* # Happy Thanksgiving! Thankful for family, friends & our fab daughter. # One of Vera's second cousins gave her a onesie that says "I was born awesome." [...]

Today I have my annual review. Will get dressed at last possible moment so I don't walk in with spit up on my suit. #maternityleaveisglam # Resentment is like drinking poison & waiting for the other person to die. – Carrie Fisher # Today will be the 1st day I'm home alone all day with [...]

Started watching Gossip Girl on Sunday night. Thanks to baby V's nursing schedule, I've now seen 13 episodes of season 1. # When I tried to take a nap during the last 1.5 hrs the Democrats called 2x asking if I voted. I had, as my mom told u. Why call again?! # So @indystar [...]

I'm still thinking about the fantastic polenta, broccoli cheese soup & pumpkin cupcake I got from @DuosIndy yesterday for lunch. Wonderful! # The next time someone tells me she or he slept like a baby, my response will be, "I'm sorry to hear that." # Saw Moneyball last night on a date w/ @bcalhoon. Good [...]
