STTN, my favorite acronym

When you become a Mom, you suddenly learn all of these new acronyms. How the heck do you spell that? Thank goodness for spell check. Anyway, acronyms. LO. (little one?) STTN. (Sleep through the night) LOL (laugh out loud. I did know that one.) You will literally see Facebook posts that say:

My LO went AWOL to get her AIO. Help!

And I'm like wha?

I met a woman this week who told me she had 6 C-sections. I responded: "Umm..I don't know what to say to you."

Anywho, back to my favorite acronym.

STTN. Sleeping through the night.

How did I do it? I don't, for the life of me, know.

What do I know? Not much. I know it is way to late to be starting this blog post.

Shall I finish it?

I will recommend Babywise. The cover says "give your child the gift of night time sleep."

And that we did.

Do I follow it? Yes. EXACTLY? No.

But my baby sleeps. A lot.

That is all.





for now.

I've Learned My Lesson....

A few weeks ago, I went to my first book signing/reading with one of my favorite authors, Jennifer Weiner. Before you giggle, let me tell you that it is pronounced "wy-ner". I got there 40 minutes early and it was almost full. I really enjoyed hearing her talk about her book, writing, and funny stories about meeting celebrities, and her gay mom. She made me laugh several times. Because I bought my book at another store (forgive me for actually wanting to read it before I met the author....grrr), I had to wait for over an hour to meet her. 

When I finally got up to the front of the line, I told her that I really loved the book. I also told her that  her "Little Earthquakes" was my favorite book. She was nice and went on to the next person. I looked down at my signing as I left and it said "Allison, Enjoy! Jennifer Weiner" Enjoy? ENJOY? I just told you I read the book! Why would you write ENJOY? 

Then I reached my second disappointment of the evening. I saw the picture I took. Okay, take a look, and then I will tell you why it is so awful. 

My Husband stared and laughed at it for a good ten minutes. I have the longest fingers ever and I have awkwardly placed them right over her name. I have learned my lesson. Ryan made me hold a few books to practice, just in case I ever go to a book signing again.

I guess on the plus side, my arms look good.

At any rate, it was fun, I liked meeting her, in case she ever reads this.....which I doubt she will.
