Self-Made Mom

http://selfmademom.net

My Type A, moderately fashionable self got me the degree, the husband, the house, and the kid. However, somewhere along the way of big-city married-mom living, I got lost. This blog is my journey as I try to find parts of my old self again. Sometimes it works, most times it doesn’t. Welcome to the "new" me.

    Nothing like ignoring your blog for 10 days while in newborn hell heaven. And nothing like remembering while in such newborn hell heaven that in about 13 days, you have to get up in front of a crowded room at a public place and read something you wro...

    The birth of my second son, who will be henceforth known as Baby Burrito (I just love the way they swaddle them at the hospital like a Chipolte sandwich), was filled with the randomness of life, a labor story to kill all others and of course, lots of...

  • Ghosts of due date past

    Posted on Thursday November 5th, 2009 at 14:05 in pregnancy

    The last time my due date came and went I didn’t know what to expect. All I know I was large and nervous as all hell about childbirth. This time, as my due date (yesterday) came and went, I was a little more relaxed. I shopped around Nordstrom&...

  • H1N1 vaccine: Lucky to get one

    Posted on Thursday October 29th, 2009 at 16:12 in activism, pregnancy, mom rants

    It’s hard to put into words what it took for me to finally get the H1N1 vaccine yesterday, 38 and 6 days pregnant. There were the phone calls, the texts, the emails (yes, we’re quite the tech-savvy pair) to my OB/GYN office. There was t...

    Posted on Wednesday October 21st, 2009 at 21:32 in mom rants, kids' products

    I can’t believe I did it, but the lack of high fructose corn syrup must have gone straight to my non-sugary brain: I bought pencils, puzzles and card games to give out to kids for Halloween this year. Oh, yes, I did. My friend Caitlin was ...
