The W Family Chronicles

Archive for June 2007

My urologist visit did not go so well. I have, on the left side, 2 very large stones. Both are the size of the single one that caused me to need a c-section 2 weeks early last summer. Basically nearly 2 cm of stone in there. And then on the other [...]

How did this happen?

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 26, 2007

Today is C’s first birthday. A year ago, at this very moment, I was in recovery and anxious to see my baby, trying so hard to move my feet so they would send me to my room and I could hold him.
His very first picture:

The time stamp on this is 8:50, and he was [...]

Sick. Really, really sick.

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 24, 2007

I have a temp of 103, a sore throat, stiff neck, dizzy, aches and pains in every part of my body…I can’t remember the last time I felt this bad. What’s worse? I am supposed to be busting my tail to get this house ready for the people coming to visit next weekend. [...]

Lactation Angst

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 18, 2007

Yes, I know there are people who read this who are totally freaked out by the mere mention of my boobs.  If that’s you, feel free to skip this one.
I have major fantasies of weaning C lately.  He’ll be 1 a week from tomorrow and I cannot express how thrilled I am that we made [...]

Well, that’s slightly better.

Now they’re reimbursing postage.  I’ve called our ped and am waiting for them to call me back and let me know whether C needs testing for lead poisoning.
Ahhhhhh…just got the call back!  Lead testing is standard at one year, and since he’s already scheduled for his 1 year appt they’ll just do it then.  They [...]

I thought I was sick of Thomas the Train this weekend…

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 14, 2007

…but that’s nothing compared to how I feel now.
I got an email from a friend (thanks, E!) about 3 hours ago telling me that many of Thomas’ little friends were being recalled because they contain lead paint. This is freaking fabulous…every time C can break away, he heads into J’s room and snags a [...]

Utterly exhausted and Thomased out

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 12, 2007

We took J to ride Thomas the Tank Engine at Tweetsie Railroad this weekend. It was exhausting! We did some furniture shopping both on the way there and the way back. Didn’t buy anything but I’ve picked out some things. I’ve picked out bedroom furniture (the Thomasville Bridges 2.0 collection) but [...]

If you like to read, this is a cool site — you can rate books you’ve read, see what friends have said about books, and even share writing. I don’t have tons of time to read these days, but I’ve got a nice little collection going there!

The resident computer geek is in heaven…

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 4, 2007

Yep, that would be me.  I finally got my new computer.  Circuit City had a great deal on a Compaq package, plus they had Office on sale so I went ahead with it since we had the cash from the yard sale.
I am still trying to figure out Windows Vista and all of the new [...]

Who ARE you people???

Posted by: Melissa W on: June 1, 2007

I notice this blog has had over 2800 hits.  And I’m just wondering who in the heck is reading!  So leave a comment, would ya?  I feel like I’m all on display here and have no idea who my audience is…it’s a little creepy.  So make me feel better and tell me who you are [...]


W Family Players

D is the dad, the husband, and the breadwinner. All around nice guy and good at pretty much everything he does. It's disgusting, really. But makes him worth keeping around.

M is the mom, the wife, and the hopeless housekeeper. At least the kids' heads haven't fallen off yet. Beyond that, she sucks at the "stay at home" thing. Oh, and she's the blogger.

J is the big boy. Born October 11 2002, he is in kindergarten and loves it. Now 6 years old, and too smart for his own good. Talks a lot but extremely entertaining.

C is the little boy. Born June 26, 2006, he went through a lot in his first year but is doing just fine now. The only blond in the family, so his paternity is routinely questioned by rude strangers.

V is our baby girl. She is brand new and arrived in January 2009. So far everything is going well. We're thrilled to have added the final piece to our family puzzle. And yes, she WILL be the final piece!
