OCTOBER. October 2014. Let’s all think about what we were doing back in October… Well, I can tell you that’s when we started the process to get Stevie supplemental MediCal insurance! Never mind the fact that nobody told us he could have received it the last 4 years, since his first heart surgery. That’s the kind of stuff that…
We have struggled with Stevie’s sleep patterns since day one. I mean, I know babies don’t sleep, but if you followed my blog all these years, you’ll know Stevie has been a rotten sleeper well past the newborn stage. An exhausting combination of health problems, restlessness and EVERY failed sleep-training method known to man, and…
Well, he’s trying. Doesn’t quite have it down yet… [youtube]SOCJKx_eozs[/youtube]
I have been so terrible about toting my camera around and, in turn, terrible about updating our goings-on around here. But of course we’ve kept plenty busy over the last couple months. If you follow along on Instagram, you’ve probably seen these, so move along. Or look again if you feel like it. Before it got…
Blah. To put things very plainly: I am struggling. Big surprise, I know. Like when is this chick ever not struggling?! I’m with you! Get it together already lady! Eh, this past week with Stevie… do I even say? It sucked. To the point where I couldn’t find the funny in it anymore. Tantrum in…
Since it is CHD Awareness week, I thought I would write a little bit about some of my more difficult experiences as a heart mom and some things I would do differently if given the opportunity. I know, they say hindsight is 20/20. And I did the best I could at the time. I try…
Stevie wore a hat for the first time this weekend. I know it sounds silly, but it’s been a long awaited moment for me, for no other reason than it’s so stinkin’ cute. It was an LA Dodgers baseball cap and he only wore it because we all were wearing hats. In his own words “Mom…
You guys! We had 2 good days in a row. Like really good days. Minimal tantrums, flexibility, smiles, cooperation. (I’m talking about Stevie, in case you were wondering. I know, I have my moments…) I don’t know where this boy comes from, but every once in awhile he shows up and we have such a…
Oh, hello January 7th. It’s you again. Every year you show up and gently remind me of something. You like to remind me of something that I nearly lost. You like to remind me to look around at what I have. Usually I wake up on January 7th feeling a bit melancholy. But this year…
Man oh man, did we have a nice break for the holidays! It felt long. And it felt relaxing. And it was kind of cold, which was so refreshing. We all slept cozy in our bed until 8am the last 3 days and that was everything. I didn’t cross many activities off my to-do list, but when…
