Life seems to be full of roller coaster moments, lots of ups and downs. I guess you can’t know the ups without the downs, but I much prefer the ups. Four months ago I was in the hospital on bed rest. Three and a half months ago I had a c-section. Two and half weeks…
More To Me
I’ve known for a few months now that I need to sit and write this. I need to record my thoughts about this man that was more than a man to me – he was my dad. I know I can’t do my feelings justice but I have to start somewhere. From the…
Pause
I find myself sitting here listening to the rain fall softly outside. It’s a beautiful time of year – warm enough to leave the windows open day and night. The rain has a cleansing element I truly appreciate. I should be sleeping, that’s what baby is doing and she looks so peaceful. Something about her…
She Just Knew
It’s been three weeks. Three weeks since our little Jaimee joined us and every day I am still pinching myself. She is so tiny, so perfect and such a good baby! This 22 year surprise has sure been an interesting mix of complete unknowns, yet at the same time framed with so many instances where I just…
Calisthenics of the Heart
If there were marathons for heart growth and work outs, I’m certain I’d be on in it. The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of extreme heart stretching experiences. I watched my daughter (now pushing the threshold of 17 years old), get her own car and start her own job; been on bed rest…
The Short List
Or should I say, short end of the stick? I landed in the hospital Wednesday night thanks to a fluid leak. :/ I was hoping for an overnight monitoring, but the short list says otherwise. Here’s how it was just explained to me: We like the baby’s tests but mom has too many factors for…
32 is Groovy
Yes, age 32 was a groovy year, but this time I’m referring to being 32 weeks pregnant. This morning’s appointment was great. They took new measurements of the baby and all is well. She’s very active! She weighs about 3 lb 15 oz, which is right on the money for my guess as I told…
Heads Up!
Yesterday, bugaboo decided it was time to go heads up! For the first time, she changed position. We finally have a profile! Granted, she was still pretty diligent about moving her hands and arms up over her face, but the tech did manage to capture a few shots in-between. Yay! She continues to do…
Is It Summer Yet?
Time marches on. It’s already been a month since my last post, I’m not sure how that happens. In baby news, we’ve been trying since the 20 week mark to get our little one to give us a profile shot. She refuses to look at the camera. Our attempt last week at 28 weeks was…
Promise of Spring
It’s March 12, 2014 and I’m feeling spring fever! Yesterday I wore capri’s and flip flops, not just for the swelling in my feet, but for the sheer joy of having it feel like spring is really coming. Last week’s doctor appointment went well. Our baby still didn’t want to look at the camera, so…
