Do you ever get over a regretful birth experience?
You know, Avery is going on five and every now and then it gets to me. It still pisses me off that I didn’t get the birth I wanted or expected. How long do you get to pout about that? How long before you accept that you [...]
How We Arrive
More on Lulu
So, I’ve been needing to work on the Livie puzzle out loud again. I want to make her “normal.” David and I both try. Out of nowhere, we’ll get a notion that she is just like every other 2 year old, since that seems to be the popular opinion, and treat her Livie moments as [...]
Deja Vu Anyone?
2:37am Lila awakes for a feeding.
Lila’s skin is warm, too warm, as in hot, fever hot. The archaic underarm thermometer reads 100.6, she feels much hotter. I give Tylenol & wipe her down w/a cool cloth. Lila and I both sleep fitfully until the alarm goes off a few hours later.
6:45am Lila’s fever is still [...]
A Bad Case of the Cooties
so Sunday night and into Monday morning went like this…
10:45 pm– Adriana awakes crying, leaving a trail of vomit from the bedroom down the hall to the bathroom. David and I tag team clean up & bath for Miss Adriana and head back to bed. Adriana’s our puker so we don’t really think much about [...]
A prelude to nothing…or maybe not
Why is it that I have nothing to say, even to myself? Truly, I find myself in a fog lately. Like I’m in the calm before the storm phase again. Is that normal? Are you suppose to acknowledge the calm like this? It kind of creeps me out. I have this overwhelming desire to do [...]
Cravings
You know you’re in a strange state of being when the highlight of your day is waiting on the fish/chicken fry plate you bought to support your son’s football team. Seriously, it’s all I can think about. I’m so hungry right now and all I want is greasy fish? What a sad day for my [...]
Boo, Hiss, Groan
Unfreaking believable. It IS a reaction to the damn immunizations. Yes, she had all these same immunizations at 4 months, HOWEVER, they were given singularly, Friday’s doses were a combo shot. Apparently, Miss Sensitive cannot tolerate efforts made to make life easier by combining shots. Nope, not going to happen. It was decided that Captain [...]
Pitiful from a different perspective
Our very first ear infection…ever, for any of my babies
Praise God for good neighbors! It just happens that we hit the neighborhood jackpot and have a single pediatrician living across the street. Time after time she’s told us not to hesitate to ask any questions, but who wants to impose on a neighbor you actual [...]
The Face of Pitiful
So Lila’s six month immunizations were yesterday
It’s bad. According to our handy dandy “so your baby had immunizations sheet” Lila is having a moderate reaction to the DtP immunization. Honest to God, I she didn’t sleep more than 20 minutes in a row from late yesterday evening to now. She won’t quit screaming, actually it’s [...]
