and yet

The handyman came home yesterday which was nice. T really missed him a lot especially. The neurologist found the mini-strokes on the MRI (s) but not sure why they are happening. The diagnosis he got was ‘well they could never happen again’ or ‘they could be the precursor to a real stroke’ [...]

i knew it

I knew I was celebrating too early last night as was tagged teamed by the party girls and up from 1:45-5:30ish.  At least I slept for a couple of hours, though.
My ‘u’ is sticking on this computer.  Never realized how often the letter ‘u’ is used until now.

this is not my beautiful house

The handyman had another mini-stroke or whatever they call it on Monday so another trip to the ER. His doctor had him admitted so they are running every neurological test known to humankind (good thing we have the killer state insurance) to try and figure out why these are happening (or I guess figure [...]

baby baby baby

This is what T says upon waking each morning.  And when she realizes the baby isn’t in the room with her.  So, I think that is a good sign we are adjusting.
My mom emailed me some pics she took of T’s first visit to the hospital.  I really like the one where she is giving [...]

squeaks

I love watching L’s personality emerge and she has officially earned herself the nickname ‘Squeaks’ because well, she squeaks.  I also call her party girl for waking me up at 3:00 am although let me tell you  I’m not complaining because she slept last night from 10 pm until 3:30 am which T still barely [...]

the benefits of sleep deprivation

It has been a busy week. On my birthday I took the girls to Baby Bookworms and then we walked around the farmer’s market downtown. Being downtown just makes me feel less like a 39 year old suburban mom that is for sure. I bought a 1/4 peck of apples for $3, [...]

after birth

Right now baby L is sleeping like a little angel in the middle of our bed. It took all I have to pull myself up into reality (meaning a somewhat fussy toddler who was in a very bad mood all day yesterday) but right now we are eating a little waffle and watching It’s [...]

sister love

NB’s here!

Baby L was born yesterday at noon.  VBAC, no induction.  I labored 15 hours to get to 10 cm but she was born with only TWO pushes!!!
 
More soon (with pics) as typing one hand on hospital computer.

and yet…

I honestly never thought I’d be pregnant in August (T was 3 weeks early) and this morning I was laughing that the Olympics are starting today and I had visions of watching them late at night with our digital cable package while on the newborn nursing/sleep schedule but instead I’ll watch them with my (less [...]
