Becoming Mom

http://www.becoming-mom.net

Hi, I’m Ariana (aka becoming-mom). I am a 30 something self admitted helicopter mom with a habit of blurting out everything about infertilty, pregnancy, birth, parenting and just about anything else to anyone who will listen.

I am an infertility success story, NPR junkie, jewelry designer, former singer songwriter and house blogger, a photography lover and a web designer.

My son Jasper was born August 19, 2009 and it was a rocky start to say the least.

We are survivors of reflux, tongue tie, overactive let down, heart murmur, coombs positive, food allergies/sensitivities, laryngomalacia, dysphagia and more.

    Posted on Thursday December 17th, 2009 at 09:09 in Photography

    I figured since I complained so much about my Christmas card photoshoot attempts, it’s only fair to post the final results!  So from this photoshoot with the rocker and this first shoot with the Mark II I came up with this: I was so excited ...

    Katie asked about the velour crib sheet I mentioned in passing in the Toddler’s and Blankets SOS. I’ve been meaning to post about it for a while, so thanks Katie for the nudge! Jasper used to always cry when I put him down for naps and at...

    But not Jasper’s first weekend away :( He woke up from his nap Friday afternoon with a fever – no other symptoms at all. It came and went mostly spiking in the evening until yesterday he was fever free so he could go back to daycare today...
