Today is my 4th Mother’s Day. I count my first as when I was pregnant with Laura. If she would have come then, she would have had a great chance of survival. It never ceases to amaze me how fast time seems to go where the kids are involved. I have a hard time believing […]
I have tried several times in the past week or two to post an update on here. Everytime I’d get to the homepage, something would come up that I wouldn’t post… be it child, husband, or other internet distraction. I will get a post up tonight though! I have been working for the past few […]
I feel like is in fast forward again. Last week Tuesday and Wednesday were used to clean the house. Wednesday night we had our Bon Jovi concert. It was AWESOME! I would love to go again. I worked Thursday and Friday. Those were tough days due to lack of sleep (I think about 4 hours […]
One of the big things emphasized while I was going to school for my education degree was reflection. I have found myself doing that a lot with my parenting. I keep coming up with things that I would like to try differently with Laura, or do differently with Warren, or things that I feel I […]
I feel like I should post, but I am not sure what to write about at this point. I am getting so tired and frustrated with things but at the same time things are going well. Warren still isn’t sleeping through the night. He is starting to consistently get up at 12:30 or so to […]
As I start to write this, it is 10 to 11 in the morning. Warren decided to have an early start to his day. Robert was up with him for an hour, then I sat up with him for a bit. He fell back asleep shortly after 5. I went back to bed and the […]
Laura slept until past 8 this morning. I knew that something was up. She only sleeps that late when she is sick. She woke up with a fever of 101… and orange gunk draining out of her ear (and yes, gunk is a very technical term). I knew immediately that she had an ear infection. […]
I am so ready for our house to be healthy again. Laura went to bed tonight with a slight fever. I hope it isn’t anything major. The poor girl should get a break soon. I am starting to get over my cold. Warren seems to be improving, but he still coughs and has a runny […]
Here I am once again journaling in the wee hours of the morning. Warren woke up at 1:00 to eat. I haven’t been able to fall back asleep since. Laura getting sick has really hit me harder than I thought. It is so scary having your baby be sick and not being able to do […]
One of the hardest parts of being a parent (at least that I’ve encountered so far) is seeing your baby sick. Laura woke up Friday morning with a fever. I should have known something was up even then because she slept until 8:45 when I had to wake her up. Throughout the day the fever […]
