MamaCita: The Season We're In
http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2009/03/season-were-in.html
Tuesday, March 3, 2009. The Season We're In. I've tried to write at least 3 different post in the last couple of months, but none of them got published. Life is a little crazy right now. My son was born on Christmas Day, at home, in a tub. It was INTENSE - that's the best word to describe it. Being a full time mom of two is definately something that requires way more patience and energy that I ever thought possible. Today as I dropped my older son off with my in-laws for their weekly play date my mother-...

http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2008/12/12-days-overdue-update.html
Tuesday, December 23, 2008. 12 Days Overdue - Update. Yesterday, I got out of the house for the first time in two days. We successfully made it to the store and back in our newly acquired. Winter wonderland and as I was walking into the house (through the garage) I slipped and fell. However, I am feeling ALOT. Better this morning. I'm hoping we can try to move forward with induction today - but we won't know until later this afternoon. Won a young (aka smile). You all made it! 3 Girls and a Guy. Im a ren...

MamaCita: It's September
http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2009/09/its-september.html
Thursday, September 17, 2009. Well, my oldest son started pre. I tried to prepare for whatever was going to happen. He's just barely 3 and he's a bit of an introvert. So I wanted to be prepared in case he wasn't ready for pre. To pick him up now or just wait until noon. We waited until noon since it was fine with the teachers. Sure enough, he was still asleep when we got there. Now" and he said, "OK. Bye, bye.". WOW What a change from the day before. I love that I can drop my son off with these people an...

MamaCita: November 2008
http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 12, 2008. Four Weeks To Go. That's right. As of today, I am four weeks from my due date. This baby boy is comming soon. I'm not in a huge hurry. Four weeks sounds just fine with me. ( BUT I reserve the right to change my mind as the day gets closer). My belly is big and I'm pretty emotional right now. Maybe if we lived in the southern parts of the country this would not seem so strange. Maybe if I was a child it wouldn't seem strange. Wednesday, November 5, 2008. And "Hi, Mom! With my...

MamaCita: March 2008
http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 25, 2008. On Sunday, March 9 th. 2008 a member of my immediate church family took his own life. In the months that followed I would not have many interactions with this man, but there is one moment that stands out in my mind when he talked to my son. He was just saying good morning but he was so happy to talk to my son, that my son matched his enthusiastic greeting. Turns out that lots of the moms at our church had similar stories. Is the disappointment that comes from the fact that I didn...

Tuesday, September 29, 2009. More, again.". Joel used to say "more" instead of using "again" which was more appropriate most of the time. Now he just uses both words so that he covers all the bases. It's how Joel says "school" it's a mix between school and store. I craze. " * big smile*. This is how Joel says "I'm crazy but really cute. Right, Mama? Usually said when he does something dangerously close to inappropriate. Of the playing usually happens) you will be locked out. Gotta love the weird. School&...

Saturday, February 16, 2008. Our First Overnighter Without the Baby. Last night we left our one and a half year old with the grandparents so we could go to Seattle for an overnight trip. It was the first time he was without either of us overnight. The trip was my husband's idea. Have I ever mentioned how smart my husband is? If not, let me mention right now.he's wicked smart! This was our way of celebrating Valentines Day and it was really wonderful! I've always affirmed the need for parents to have date...

MamaCita: A Mother's Lessons on Circumcision
http://mamacitadodson.blogspot.com/2009/07/mothers-lessons-on-circumcision.html
Monday, July 6, 2009. A Mother's Lessons on Circumcision. Can we talk about circumcision. My husband felt very strongly. When our first son was born than he be circumcised. In the rare case that you don't know me, we're not Jewish. I agreed to go along with his decision as long as he was willing to take the baby to get the procedure done. I couldn't handle the idea of my brand new baby being strapped to a table and cut. So, when my husband starts to worry that my son's circumcision. It as unnecessary vio...
