How was labor and delivery?
Long. You can read about it here.
Did you poop on the table?
Nope.
What do contractions feel like?
Like getting your arm fat pinched, but in your uterus. If you don’t have a uterus, I suppose you can imagine getting kicked in the balls, but I wouldn’t know.
How was your recovery?
The stitches were the worst. For weeks I felt like I was sitting on a pinch.
How was your first post labor poo?
Worse than pushing out a 7 pound, 11 ounce infant. Read more about that here. Some survival tips here.
Do you love being a Mommy?
See the long answer to this question here.
I’ve always wanted to be a mother, so most of the time I feel very lucky to be where I am in life. Then there are times when I have poop on my elbow and he is doing his banshee scream and I just want to go back to bed.
Is he a good baby?
Have you not read this post?
Waylon is not an easy baby. He started out with the colic and has been a handful ever since. I guess we’ll keep him.
Does Baby Daddy ever care that you write about him in your posts?
Do you mean–does he ever care that his mom, dentist, or neighbor can read about him schnozzing other girls in college? Nah. And just to make sure, I have him read over anything extra juicy before posting. He always shrugs and says, “that’s fine.” We’re both pretty much an open book.
You can watch his interview here.
How did you guys meet?
You can read our love story here.
What does he do?
He’s in his second year of medical school at Penn State College of Medicine. A post on marrying a student here.
When did you first start blogging?
When I first started blogging, it was to publicly whine muse about post graduate life. Mostly I just tried to sound smart (it was really boring). Eventually, though, it expanded to share news and updates about Baby Baer and that’s when I picked up a few extra readers besides my grandma.

What Does “Motley” mean?
Exhibiting great diversity of elements; varied, mixed, out of the ordinary.
Basically…a mess. I like to think it’s a good thing.
What happened to your monthly goals?
The monthly goal project was just for 2012, a way to cross a few things off the ol’ bucket list. It was fun! (Especially the month without Internet). You can read more about it here.
What blogs do you read?
Making a blog list is tricky because it’s always changing. The ones I check daily are mostly friends and a few random ones that I just can’t quit they’re so good.
E Tells Tales A Cup Of Jo Camp Patton Being Fran(k) Momastery Tales Of Me And The Husband Sarah Bessey Lady Lee + What kind of camera do you use?This one. Great in low light and takes HD video, too. It’s pretty awesome even though I’m always pining for something bigger and badder.
Where have you been all my life?
In Pennsylvania, probably eating cheese.
