More Advent
Loving and learning from this post.
Update 14: Night time Pumping Edition
Yes, I have learned how to pump and post at the same time. Honestly I am out of good reading material and the laptop makes the pumping go faster and distracts me from the hormones. (Pumping makes me lonely and want to cry – hate hormones.) T is doing great. Still no big leaps and…
Preparing for Advent
Ha. Advent is all about preparing for Christmas, so this post is about preparing for the preparation. Strikes me as funny anyway. I will say, though, as a life-long Protestant of the non-liturgical persuasion, Advent is a Catholic observance (yes, I know some Protestants observe it as well) that I have had trouble understanding upon…
Life Doesn’t Stop for Scrapbooking (or blogging)
I was so excited about doing LOAD this past October. I recruited friends to do it with me, got my photos and supplies lined up, read magazines for inspiration and finally got to start. And then I only made one page. I went into the hospital on bed rest October 2 and then the rest…
Update 13: Halloween Photo Edition
It has been a couple of days. The weekends are actually busier around here with the big kids at home. I miss my easy, relaxed days with my kiddos and think that they do to. Can’t wait to get back to that. John told me today that he missed me. Speaking of, we really have…
Update 12: The 15th Anniversary Edition
Good news: I have not gotten sick. So, I have been to see T the past couple of days. Mom went with me yesterday and Matt dropped me off for a couple of hours at the hospital today. He is still symptomatic, so did not go in to the NICU. I fed Thomas from the…
Update 11: So Frustrated
Just want to start by saying that I am not frustrated about T. He is doing great they tell me. He is taking a couple of feeds from the bottle each day with varied success. First one was 15 cc, next was 5, and next was 30 so he is learning. When I called this…
Pumpkin Patch Photos
Well, we made it. Despite my invalid ways and Matt’s new cold, we managed to drag ourselves out to the pumpkin patch for our annual trip. We were so glad we did. The kids had a blast. It was our first trip where it was actually seasonably cool – almost too cool. We began the…
Update 10: Too Tired for a Cute Name
The week has caught up with me and I am exhausted. Good news is that Baby T is doing fantastic. He moved into a regular bed today. I am hoping he holds his body heat enough to stay there. He is feeding and growing – he is at the maximum food for his weight, is…
Update 9: Movin’ On Up
I was a little surprised when I called the NICU last night to find that Thomas had moved from Room 2 to Room 3. This is a good thing. The nurses have a saying in the NICU. “Three, four, closer to the door.” Each room a baby moves up typically means that they are doing…
