Pieces of Anna: Compartmentalized time
http://www.piecesofanna.com/2014/05/compartmentalized-time.html
May 3, 2014. I haven't come up with a brilliant solution to this problem. If you are a parent, how do you manage to use your time efficiently? How do you get all the things done? Or, do you? May 5, 2014 at 4:03 AM. But in other ways, I feel like I am constantly running just to stay in the same place (like that analogy from the Red Queen in Alice in Wonderland). The house is always pseudo-clean. Also, even if I manage to get the objective of the day done, I have noticed, like you that time is flexible, th...

Pieces of Anna: July 2013

July 23, 2013. Painting the baby room. As I mentioned in my last post. We painted the baby room. We chose to do it over the long Independence Day weekend because we knew that the prep and the painting would take a couple of days. But first, we had to choose a paint color. After much discussion, we settled on a potential color scheme for the baby room: gray, white, yellow, and turquoise. Yep, we are having a girl, and there is not a hint of pink in sight! It was a good problem to have. Online calculators ...

Pieces of Anna: December 2013
http://www.piecesofanna.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
December 10, 2013. Here is my review of some of the "essential" baby items that we've purchased:. For the record, our baby didn't like sleeping in the crib for a long time. I think it felt too huge for her, after the tight comfort of the womb. We borrowed a bassinet from our friends, and she slept in it for about a month until she grew out of it. I was excited about crib sheets because there are so many beautiful options out there, and this was my chance to bring the yellow and turquoise/aqua colors into...

June 18, 2013. 26 weeks - The Pregnancy Brain. A continuous, progressive condition in which you forget what you were thinking five seconds ago. May result in awkward pauses in conversations and poor hygiene. The only known cure is giving birth. I forgot to put on deodorant this morning. And I did not even realize this until lunch time. This is what I call pregnancy brain. It started out subtly enough. I would find myself forgetting things I did several weeks before. No big deal, I thought, someti...Yeste...

Pieces of Anna: October 2013
http://www.piecesofanna.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
October 28, 2013. Pregnancy and Weight Gain. Anyway, I would like to talk about pregnancy weight gain, not my cravings for croissants. (I'm sure the two have nothing to do with each other.) According to the Babycenter website, I should have expected to gain an average of 25 to 35 pounds over nine months, almost all of it in the second and third trimester, and the weight gain was supposed to be more or less linear. That is not what happened. What happened was this:. 35 weeks 5 days. Mostly, what I heard w...

Type your search terms above and press return to see the search results. On doing All the Things. May 19, 2012. Boy, if this were a paper journal, it sure would be dusty right now. In other words, it’s been a while. A lot of things have been afoot since the wedding and I never quite got around to announcing them, possibly because it felt like they deserved. And not offhanded mentioning, which is more my style. I never quite got my mind back. The way it was, but I’m doing better. 3b) I’m already starting ...
