Me & Dave with my brother. Thanksgiving 2006. Last week I learned that my Brother has Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma. The doctors did a PET scan and they could see concentrations of the cells in every lymph node in his body. They are doing more detailed biopsies this week to determine how to treat it, and how much longer he has here with us. The situation is especially delicate because my brother already has a severely weakened immune system. I’m doing ok {Read More}
On Waiting and Hoping
March 24, 2010 By 2 Comments
Lately, I seem to be doing a lot of both. Waiting for the next appointment with the Infertility Specialist. When my mid-cycle test results came back to say that I was still not ovulating and that my estrogen levels were WAY off, I shattered. I sobbed. I slept for a long time. I’m weird and that’s how I grieve. I’m okay now. But I’m still waiting for my appointment and hoping for good news. I’m also waiting and hoping for {Read More}

After years of questioning my worth and abilities, I’m finally starting to come into my own. I’m so proud of myself all of a sudden. I’m a good wife and mother and I get better at both everyday. I love who I am right now and I adore where I’m going.

Hi ya’ll. I just wanted to pop on here and say that I will make my detailed Cupcake 10 post soon (I hope) but that right now there are some VERY exciting things happening for us that have to be taken care of first. These things are so VERY exciting that they have somewhat overshadowed the fact that my flight home yesterday had a 2 hour delay and that they lost my checked bag (and that’s nothing, wait till you {Read More}

Overhaul

There is something about the change of seasons that sends me into overdrive. I’m an emotional mess. One day I’m higher than a kite and the next I don’t even want to get out of bed or comb my hair. I make it through though, moment by moment.I’m trying and there’s a lot to be said for that. Things will turn out ok if I just keep trying.It’s good to have a mantra I think. Today I will try to {Read More}
Small

is how I’m feeling right now. I’ll return when I’m feeling more mighty, perhaps then I’ll have the strength to offer feelings…or an explanation. For now I’ll remain small.
Today was long.

Really it was. Baby J woke up this morning (after sleeping 7 hours straight!!!) smiling and cooing instead of screaming. It was the cutest thing. He has been so talkative lately, he babbles and smiles and is just so adorable. Today I went with my mom to Babies R Us and she got him the CUTEST outfit for Christmas! (Pictures to follow) She also got me a dress to wear to my friends wedding, which is Saturday. To be honest {Read More}
We’re back home!

Your probably asking yourself “from where?”, since I never really announced that we were going anywhere….which is because I hadn’t planned on going anywhere. After Jackson’s spell with aspiration on Saturday night, I was really cautious….but Sunday came and went without incident, so I felt better about things. Well then, Monday afternoon, shortly after I wrote the post about what happened Saturday, he did it again…twice. So I used my best judgment and decided we needed to go to the {Read More}
