As you can probably guess by my prolonged absence, the small one blog is retiring. Don’t worry, the boy is doing just fine. In fact, I’ve started a new blog to chronicle the whole family and our newest venture – attempting to homestead in Albemarle Country. Check out home growed at http://homegrowed.wordpress.com. And yes, the misspelling is intentional.
Thanks for following my descent into parenthood here. And happy breastfeeding/cloth diapering/being ever so glad you don’t have kids after reading about it…

I just found your blog while researching for info on non-FMLA-covered maternity leave. I think I spent over an hour reading older entries, and I’m amazed at how much I can relate to you. (Which is a comfort, so thanks!) I’m 27, have a 19 month old boy, am currently trying to find a FT job while my husband takes over the stay-at-home daytime parenting. I’m already worried about the guilt of working FT even though I know that plenty of parental bonding will be going on at home while I’m at an office. Oh, and can I say I felt better when I found out someone else has the same “extra poundage” issue after weaning? I looked better 3 months after giving birth than I do 16 months later.
Seriously, post after post I kept thinking—”that’s me! that’s so my life right now!”
Also, I think you’re a very good writer—straightforward and easy to read, interesting and the best kind of witty (subtle without a trace of pretension). Good luck with the homesteading!
