Magic Beans: May 2010
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 24, 2010. It's been 2 weeks and 2 days since Tristan was born. I weighed myself today and discovered that I've lost 24 lbs. I'm now just about at pre-pregnancy weight. I'm a bit surprised! I've been eating lots (just ask E, he cooks for me most of the time these days) and I'm losing weight fast. Over the last week I lost 5 lbs. I feel great, so I'm not too worried. I just hope that the midwives don't yell at me when I go in for my 6 week appointment! Isn't he a cutie! Things That Make Me Happy.

Magic Beans: Symptoms of... Pregnancy?
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2012/02/symptoms-of-pregnancy.html
Friday, February 3, 2012. Symptoms of. Pregnancy? Over the summer, Evan and I decided that we were ready to make our family bigger. We figured that we'd start trying for baby #2 in November, that way I'd be pregnant over the summer when I could stay in the pool all day with Tristan. And then baby #2 would have an end of summer, beginning of autumn birthday. Perfect! Keep in mind, when I was pregnant with Tristan, I didn't nap, or feel the need to. Symptom #2: Tighter Shirts. While out shopping one day, I...

Magic Beans: October 2012
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 6, 2012. Have Fun Stormin' The Castle. It occurred to me tonight how The Princess Bride must have been the marketing/publicity persons worst nightmare. I mean, the first time I ever saw it was because my family's friend had 2 sons about my age and they had rented it but weren't sure the boys would like it. So I thought I'd come up with some alternate titles that would have been more publicist friendly:. The Man in Black. Never Fight a Land War in Asia. The Dread Pirate Roberts.

Magic Beans: April 2010
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 5, 2010. Holy cow, it's been how long since I last blogged? I'm a bad blogger. I realized that I haven't posted since February. Since February! And to be honest, I wouldn't even have realized that if someone hadn't remarked on that post yesterday. So, what's been going on, you ask? And now we're starting to put stuff in it. Last night we assembled the crib. It's really starting to look like a nursery! My sister also came for a visit with her significant other and his twin twelve year old bo...

Magic Beans: Crumbs
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2012/01/crumbs.html
Monday, January 16, 2012. We took the Xmas tree down Sunday. Before Tristan's nap, he helped undecorate the tree. Though he spent a good deal of time taking the ornaments we'd just gotten off back to the tree to try and put them on again. After his nap, Tristan came downstairs and said "Where tree go? We explained it was all gone for the year, that the tree was back outside. Then Evan went and got the vacuum. Tristan looked at the floor. Daddy, crumbs here! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Magic Beans: October 2010

Friday, October 29, 2010. The Tristan Report - 5 3/4 Months. So, I'm a bit late in giving the 5 month report. But that's OK, we'll do the 5 and 3/4 month report. Tristan can roll over now! Tristan is somewhat mobile. When he's on his tummy, he scoots himself places. Not too far yet, but he can get to his toys that are scattered on the floor around him, given enough time. Speaking of sleeping, Tristan is sometimes taking longer naps of 1.5 to 2 hours at a time. Woo Hoo! Tristan is imitating us. On 10/...

Magic Beans: November 2011
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 27, 2011. I find myself waffling between happy holiday spirit and the bah humbugs. And why? I want to make the holidays special again. I want to enjoy them. And I want Tristan to like them just as much as I used to. I just read this great post. And if it doesn't work this year, I'll try again next. And it will work. For Tristan, it will work. Wednesday, November 16, 2011. Tristan Through 12 Months. May, just before his birthday, doing one of his favorite activities with Daddy. When I was...

Magic Beans: August 2010
http://salinasmagicbeans.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 27, 2010. Tristan has bad dreams. Already. He starts crying in his sleep. It doesn't wake him up, he just cries for a few seconds, a few times in a row, and then is back to sleeping quietly. It makes me wonder, what is it he is dreaming about that makes him so unhappy? There's no more milk? Pato's (his current favorite toy, a duck) rattle stopped working? That he's back in the cradle and can't move his arms? Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Because I don't like confrontation. And I figure, ...
