Home.

August 13, 2011 by LylaD

After I left the hospital Joel and I decided that I would come home. At least for now. Truly, it was the only option. It is best for the kids and we have full-time care so I won't be alone. That was Joel's one condition, "Just in case." He explained. I have set up a little respite for myself in … [Read more...]

A Full Hand

July 19, 2011 by Amanda

This time, five years ago, I was cradling my hours-old baby girl, so thankful for her safe arrival after a grueling labour. She was a tiny little nugget: a mere six pounds, 12 ounces, with a head full of dark hair and legs like a frog's. I remember pacing the hospital room with her our first night … [Read more...]
