Yes, last week was just that scary. If stars could’ve had a role, they would have completely un-aligned. Murphy’s Law nearly bore my namesake. I completely blame the Chiclets – the ones Elijah is pushing through his gums. I’m still waiting to see if the bottom tooth is a new tooth or a piece of…

The Bees Knees
I’m pretty stoked today. Elijah has been in a good mood and has breastfed for 20 minutes at every feeding that I’ve been here for – yay! Brian and I were discussing that we are in dire need of a vacation. We need to scoop our THREE boys up and go somewhere to veg for…
The Elijah Cannon: Part 4, Treatment Begins
I was amazed by the size of the CHOA Egleston NICU, the quietness of it, the professionalism, and the hosptality. We could tell immediately that they had “it” figured out here. They understood that the experience was more than a baby in a bed – that each baby comes with a family, and each family…
The Elijah Cannon: Part 1, Early Labor
Today’s probably not the best day to be writing this. I think I’m fighting the blues, but I’m not sure what else to do at the moment. Throughout the weekend of the 9th, I was getting lots of Braxton Hicks (BH) activity, which was really exciting. I’d gotten some during my first two pregnancies, but…
Camels and Cookies
Sometimes what Ian says is still pretty muddled. Sometimes he makes himself a little too clear. I’ll give a recent example of each. I could have sworn Ian was telling me there were camels on his strawberry. I chalked it up to his vivid imagination, tho usually his imagination has a little more logic to…
Rainy Day Ramble
Hooray! For two days now, I’ve kept the house unusually clean. Go me. But, it’s not without that acid-reflux sheen that gives everything a warm glow. I don’t expect to do a lot of posting this week, while getting my act together for Ian’s birthday “party”. The boys helped me make some gingerbread men and…
A Tour of Thanks
Happy Thanksgiving! I wish you all a day of good health, happiness and fellowship. I feel so blessed for the people in my life. My husband is the most loving, dedicated man I could ever dream of. He is my best friend, team mate and life partner. My children bring me unsurpassable joy. It’s hard…
Here we go a waffling
Today has been a fairly typical day. I wake up to Isaac’s sweet voice on my right, going “broom broom BROOM!” I crack an eyelid, wondering as I do every morning in our blacked-out room, to what time they let me sleep. Isaac is propped up on a pillow driving a monster truck. A few…
There’s a Ford F-150 in my shoe
I have a few treasured thoughts swimming around in my head this weekend, in addition to my new-found Airwalk accessory, that I’d like to hang on to. Last night, while Brian was insulating the water heater pipes, Ian headed for one of the kitchen cabinets and pulled out his kid-sized baking kit. He climbed up…
