Busy Thursday
We had a crazy busy, but fun and exciting day today. It started with early morning G-tube surgery for Charlotte’s baby doll. I was a little unnerved because as I drilled a hole in this sweet baby’s tummy, I kept thinking I was like Quinn on Scandal and was torturing the poor thing- but then I…
Disappointed
Yesterday, we had Grayson’s 4 month follow up from his SPML surgery he had in January. At first, the results of that surgery were nothing short of miraculous. Our sweet boy’s legs had been so tight and stiff and after surgery, his legs were loose, and changing him and even picking him up were SO…
Letters To Charlotte: 16 Months
Dear Charlotte, I had just gotten used to saying you were 15 months old, and you go and turn another month older! I would say stop that, but in truth, I am loving the stage you are in right now and am truly embracing your toddlerness. For every moment you exasperate, overwhelm and frustrate me,…
Sweet Weekend Moments
Both my babies are crying in their beds right now. I have no idea what is wrong with Charlotte- she usually falls right to sleep after her bottle. Grayson has been “off” all day, and I’m kind of worried about him. He cried like he was in pain several times today, and now he’s crying…
Grayson Update
I realized I haven’t given a medical-type update on Grayson in awhile. The amazing truth is that he’s doing really well, and there isn’t a whole lot to report. He hasn’t been sick, hasn’t been in the hospital in almost 2 months, and is relatively stable. Of course, in our world, no news is, in fact, GREAT news.…
Doing and Choosing the Best I Can
With Mother’s Day just days away, I’ve been thinking about this role that I’ve had the privilege of holding for over four years now (because yes, I absolutely count the year I was pregnant with Grayson as my first Mother’s Day). I’m living my dream; I’m a mom to two beautiful, awesome kids, who challenge,…
Great Weekend
We had the best weekend! It was busy, and yet I still got to take a nap both Saturday and Sunday- I honestly don’t think that’s happened since I’ve had two kids! The weekend was the perfect blend of busyness and relaxation. Saturday, we spent the morning at the zoo, napped in the afternoon, and then Ryan and…
(Almost) Wordless Wednesday: Around Here
This video pretty well sums up the relationship between my children these days: a lot of sweet, tender moments that turn into Aaaaaa! moments in an instant. (Any suggestions to get Charlotte to stop hurting her brother and liking it- aaaa!- are welcome). And just for fun, some pictures I took yesterday at the park that just…
Easter Weekend
We spent Easter weekend at the ranch. The weather was perfect: warm, but not intensely hot like it will surely be in a few months. The wildflowers were blooming, dotting the green acres with bursts of color. And she is finally walking, and for the first time got to experience dandelions and dirty knees and hands from…
