The Late Bloomer
http://www.alwaysace-thelatebloomer.blogspot.com/
A brief introduction would suffice, but that, unfortunately, is not in my nature: I always somehow manage to find a million ways of expressing one simple thing. Let's just say that Ace has always been the nickname of a girl who tumbled into this blogging world very late in the game... Hence, The Late Bloomer!

Prepared' Yeah, right!
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
NOTE: This post is more than a bit outdated, as I wrote most of it two weeks ago, and then -- silly me! -- never wrapped it up and "published" it here on the blog... But just thought I would do so now, before moving on to my latest thoughts...****Boy, I'm so tired of that question already, and I guess I've been getting it for weeks: "Are you ready'" "Are you prepared' Have you done everything'" And I never know whether people mean physically, mentally, emotionally or just materialistically...

Progress... in More Ways Than One!
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Right now I'm feeling the need to write about Emma and all that we're experiencing together these days: her discoveries, her reactions to everything around her, our exchanges... And I'm realizing that if I don't get some of this down, NOW, that I'll regret it later. I'm trying to recall now some of the things that she has done over the last couple of weeks that have really made me laugh or smile, thinking to myself how important it is that I remember that particular moment. For example,...

Busy, Busy... But Slowing Down
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 1 times. Similar articles
The last couple of weeks have been a bit hectic, although gradually I've been slowing down and my body has been telling me that I just can't do as much as I would like... Whereas two weeks ago I was running around town and my boyfriend kept telling me that I was overdoing it, these days I can hardly get out the door. Or, let's just say that it's been that way since yesterday morning in particular... Thank goodness my boyfriend managed to finally get his hands on the car he's buying used from...

Down to the Wire... 36 Weeks!
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I was sitting here eating my requisite daily apple and peanut butter (don't ask me how much I spent on a tiny container of Skippy last week -- I feel guilty enough as it is! -- and I keep eating it straight out of the container...) when I thought I should probably finally get around to making an update on my blog, and more specifically a pregnancy update! The baby's been moving around quite a bit for the last few hours, whereas usually the Little Bean saves his/her jigging around for nighttime,...

Twice in Two Years... Enough is Enough!
From The Late Bloomer, 5 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Yesterday was a jumbled day in more ways than one... I had such focused plans for the day, and a to-do list (in my head anyway -- I never tend to put those things on paper!) to complete, including some more work on the children's story contest, which absolutely MUST be wrapped up in the next week so I can get the winning booklets assembled and ready for the Awards Party on the 31st. I was planning on spending a good part of my day on that, while alt-tabbing back and forth between some regular...

Breastfeeding (Still) Makes Me Smile...
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I started writing this post something like 3 or 4 months ago, and then life just managed to get in the way. Ironically enough, I went through a difficult period of breastfeeding in December and January, when Emma started teething (although to this day I STILL don't believe it was her teeth that were bothering me...) and having a poor latch. Even today she still sometimes gets lazy and doesn't latch so well (whereas when she was a newborn she was a champion latcher!), and obviously this causes a...

Magical Moments and Milestones...
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
There are too many to even try to put down here, and at the risk of sounding like a complete cliché, I have to say that these special moments with Emma are unforgettable -- I know, I know, it's getting old, hearing all the Proud Momma statements, but I just can't resist! Emma's 4th month has officially become pretty eventful, as we found her first official tooth yesterday morning -- yep, my suspicions were confirmed! I had thought she had been acting a bit strange lately, not quite herself,...

Little Bubbles of Happiness
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
It goes without saying that I am beyond grateful for the arrival of baby Emma in my life... In our lives, really. But I am ever so thankful also for moments like the one I just shared with my daughter, in which she quietly finished nursing and stretched out like a cat, that milk-drunk look on her face, and then smiled up at me. I smiled down at her and the feeling of connection was so strong, I knew this was a moment I would remember forever. Perhaps not in detail, but just that special feeling...

Up in Arms!
From The Late Bloomer, 4 year ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Okay, I don't know where to begin with this, so I'll just get straight to the point: I've been trying to book a plane ticket for Emma and me to travel to the U.S. over the past few days, and Friday night I thought I was set after having found a great fare on CheapAir.com -- but no, it was too good to be true! The next day I get an e-mail and a phone call telling me that the flight can't be confirmed at the quoted price on-line because in fact the "class" for an infant has been changed, or...
