So sorry for the delay of good news after my very melancholy post. But, I’m so, so, so happy to report that I am carrying a perfectly healthy baby. Oh, also. It’s a girl! They checked every inch of her. Went down her spine, bone by bone, twice! Looked at it from two different angels….
Rogan.
So, my commitment earlier this year to blog didn’t really pan out. Things have been busy. Aside from work and having a three year old, my family has faced some of the hardest months of our lives due to a series of medical emergencies and unfortunately, the very tragic death of my husband’s brother-in-law, who…
Three years later
Three years ago today, after the most gut-wrenching 48 hours of my life, Max and I sat in the office of a perinatologist and found out that Donovan had Spina Bifida. We found out two days prior that something was wrong, but we didn’t know what. All we knew is that he had enlarged ventricles….
Donovan’s Third Year: Gross Motor Skills.
Most the people that wander by, are probably doing so to read about Donovan. So, I thought it might be a good idea to update y’all as to what he’s been up to for the last year. I started writing a bunch of updates, but it’s getting way too long, so I think I’ll just…
#2: Take my vitamins. {100 Change Challenge}
I am TERRIBLE at remembering to take pills. Terrible. Be it a vitamin or an antibiotic I know should be taken for it’s full course, I tend to just forget to take them. I also hate taking them. So, that probably does not help me remember. Big pills are really terrifying to me. Or little…
#1: Read the Bible. {100 Change Challenge}
I decided to make this my first change because my relationship with God should be my #1 priority. I’m not going to pretend like it is, but I know it should be. That’s something I’m working on this year in general – making more time for Him. He and I…it is a relationship after all….
2012. And my “resolution”.
Here it is. The new year. Currently, I am sitting at my computer typing up this post because I can’t sleep. Why, you ask? Well, it’s not because I’m busy partying or sipping champagne. It’s because there are fireworks (or bullets) going off in the ghetto across our fence, and I can’t sleep until it…
Under construction.
Hey, y’all! You may have noticed I’ve been gone a while. All is well, life has just been super busy with a new job and two moves in between. I’m planning on getting back to blogging in the new year and look forward to seeing you all then! In the meantime, I’m trying to update…
Happy December!
I know, it’s been a while since I’ve blogged. Basically, I’ve been super busy. Some exciting things are happening in our lives that have had me sort of tied up that I’m looking forward to sharing soon! (No, I am not pregnant!) But, I am glad to see the snow back on my blog, the…
They are worth it.
When you have a child with Spina Bifida, or I imagine any other special need, you need support. People who have been through what you’re going through that can give you advice and comfort you in some of the darker moments. Friends and family go a long, long way, and I wouldn’t have survived the…
Three to go.
So, as you can probably tell by my very prominent “Babies make you fat.” tab up top, and my various posts of all things yo-yo dieting, I am in a pretty constant state of battle against my body, and the weight that has accumulated since 1. graduating from college and getting a job where I…
