#datmomlife Things have been busy and crazy these last 2 days, hence the reason I’m a day late and a few braincells short on posting this final and AMAZING part of JL’s sweet birth. We walked into the delivery room joking and happy. Our nurse started to hook me up to the monitors, and i […]
We walk calmly up to the L&D desk–i quip to bobby that I hope we don’t get the mean admissions lady again. I look behind the desk, and it is a very nice lady instead. I called on the way, so when she asked my name, she recognized it immediately, and had me come around […]
4:25am: So, we get in the car. I had a rice sock because my hips were achy. Bobby and I were chatting about various things on the way: what did we pack? What did we forget? Have I texted the doula? Holy crap we are having another kid… etc. After 5 or 10 minutes in […]
So, around 1:20am, I didn’t feel comfortable sitting in my glider anymore. I wasn’t moaning in discomfort. Honestly, I felt like I needed some ibuprofen, a warm shower and a heating pad.

Around this time of year (Easter), we are reminded of the Redemption of the Cross and the giving of new Life in Jesus. I find this very fitting, since, I just had a new baby, our 2nd son, Jon Luc. His birth was perfection. It was everything I imagined and envisioned and hoped for–especially since […]
Being a parent is one of the most selfless things that a person can do. It requires everything of you. Short of being Jesus or Mother Teresa… Motherhood/ Parenthood is next on the list of selfless acts. But, it is also one of the most selfish things. Let me explain. I am 38 weeks pregnant […]
This year, I’ve been invited to be weird. (As if i wasn’t already! ) and do weird things. Something weird in today’s world is to be thankful. So, instead of a month of thankful stuff in November, or a day here and there of gratitude, I have been invited to a whole 365 days of […]
This is the soon-to-be story of my life. Looking through my old blog posts, it occurred to me that in the busyness of life, I neglected to announce that the baby growing inside of me is another BOY. His name is going to be Jon Luc. As of this post, I am 24 weeks/ 6 […]
Well, God decided our lives weren’t full enough. He decided to override our plans and add a member to our family, who will be arriving in march 2014 🙂 We already have a baby boy, and we are honestly perfectly content with whatever we get this time. A boy would be cheaper, since we kept […]
