This morning the Hubs forwarded me this listical (14 Differences Between First-Time Parents and Experienced Parents) with the subject line: "That about says it". Yep! At this point we're fourteen for fourteen. Poor little LJ is getting lots of attention, but a lot of the … [Read more...]
Natural Ability
Me: Ava Scarlett? Come finish your breakfast please... She: Whaaahmmmm? Me: What are you doing, Madame? She: Just playing my fork. *strums* Me: Um... She: *rocking out* I blame my mother for showing her this air-guitar stance. Totally. (SEE what you've done, … [Read more...]
It’s a boy
Finally the babe has arrived and it's a boy! Our newest addition arrived July 3 just after 1:00 a.m. via emergency c section (yes again!). I gave it a good try, making it to the end (thanks to my doula for keeping me focused), but my body just isn't made to push babies out that way. I was … [Read more...]

BAM!
I have been busier with work in the past two weeks than I have ever been in my life. It's been wild, and hard, but good and I was coping alright until I found a lump on my middle daughter's neck the size of a half-golfball. That will make the world stand still for you. I've taken her in to … [Read more...]
