In the Hospital
Update on Grayson: We have been in the hospital since Thursday morning. Grayson was staying with my friend while I had a counseling appointment and he vomited 3 times in the hour I was gone. Enough. I just can’t do it any more. My friend drove us to the ER. On the way, I started…
Tonight, I Just Want to Scream
First, because I have to have something good to talk about today, could my little guy be any cuter with his big blue eyes and white hoodie? I don’t think so. I’ve had a lot of people ask me how we are doing. The truth is, today, not so good. Honestly, right now, I’m having…
An Update and Happy(?) Birthday to Me
It’s my birthday, and today definitely won’t go down as one of my most “fun” birthdays, but I am totally, completely ok with that. It’s definitely not about me anymore, especially when dealing with day gazillion of a sick baby. Update on Grayson: Yesterday was rough. After a few huge vomiting episodes in the morning,…
Change of Plans :(
I returned home from Santa Fe last night, 2 1/2 days early. So much for a relaxing vacation. We were just finishing an amazing Mexican breakfast yesterday when I got a text from my mom, replying to my “How’s my little guy?” question. Not good. They’d had a really rough night- she was up with…
Vacation
I’m on vacation! My good friend is treating me and two other friends to five days in Santa Fe, New Mexico. She has a gorgeous adobe vacation home with perfect southwestern decor (heavy rustic wood furniture, turquoise, iron…swoon!). We are planning on sightseeing, hiking, (window) shopping, eating good food, and relaxing. Perfect. I’m trying to relax, to…
Make A Mess Monday: My New Mantra
According to this, I must be a really, really good mom. I was going to take pictures of my disaster zone house after 5 days with a sick baby, but I’ll just let you use your imagination instead. Happy Monday!
Thank You
I want to say thank you but I don’t have the words to express the gratitude for the love and support our little family has felt the past four days. I am overwhelmed by your love and concern for Grayson. We have had people call, email, text, visit, pray, bring food, take care of our dogs,…
Oh, Grayson
Sweet Baby Boy, What is the deal with you and the month of September? You were born last September, and we just celebrated your birthday last week- isn’t that enough (good) excitement for one month? Do we really have to add terrifying medical scares to the mix? Last year, you were rushed to the ER…
12 Month Checkup and Remembering One Year Ago
Grayson had his 12 Month checkup this morning with Dr. D. Medical stuff aside, I was amazed and excited at how busy Grayson was- it wasn’t very long ago I could just hold him still while we waited and when Dr. D examined him- um, not so much anymore! He wiggled and rolled all over the exam…
First Birthday Party
Yesterday we celebrated Grayson with family and friends! I did a pretty good job of sticking to my goal of making his party sweet and simple. I did, however, get my craft-on and made several fun little things for the party. Invitation: Tushy-Print Cupcake Birthday Sign: Birthday Banner (made by me and Grayson’s Aunt Hannah):…
