Well, I now know all the procedures for getting admitted to the hospital labor and delivery department. My contractions were still going strong and painful mid-afternoon, so after talking to a friend with the same OB (who’d had preterm labor herself), I decided to call my doctor and ask him to just take a look […]

I’m under three weeks out from when I think I’m due (the doctor thinks it’s more like three and a half weeks), and I’m definitely feeling the impatient wait kicking in. Realistically, I won’t have this baby until the end of March (which is when my parents will be out to help)–I went late with […]
“Mommy, this wasn’t our best day.”
Posted in Janie on Feb 19th, 2013
Monday was one of those days that I’d like to forget, except that if I record it here, it might help me have perspective next time I think I’m having a Jonah day. Shortly after completing Tommy’s birthday post Sunday night, I checked on the kids (all sleeping peacefully), took an Ambien (because I hadn’t […]
Thanks for praying for my sleep last night–the kids were asleep by 9, I was asleep by 9:15, and I slept hard until 3 (at which point I was so hungry despite having a double cheeseburger for dinner that I had to get up and fix myself a meal and was wide awake for the […]
Playing in the Mud
Posted in California, Elizabeth, Janie, Tommy on Jan 31st, 2013
It was so warm and sunny this afternoon that I decided to let Elizabeth skip her nap if she agreed to spend the afternoon outside. Soon the kids were making a mud pit and singing, “We’re playing in the mud, we’re playing in the mud; we’re getting things all dirty, all dirty!” I figure this […]
30 Week Belly Picture
Posted in Janie on Dec 31st, 2012
I had Tommy take a picture of my belly this morning. Yep, I’m definitely in whale stage. I weigh now what I weighed the day Tommy was born. (I guess zofran saving me from losing the usual 8-10 lbs in the first trimester is coming back to bite me…) The baby is still moving around […]
Susanna had her visit with the orthopedist yesterday morning. She won’t need any special therapy or shoes or anything, as it should all correct on its own. Her hips are rotated in, her tibia bones are twisted in, and her feet appear bent but are in fact straight enough. No follow-up necessary. One less medical […]
Officially Joining the “Big Family” Ranks (in March)
Posted in Elizabeth, Janie, Susanna, Tommy on Sep 14th, 2012
After 13 weeks, we can let out the secret! There aren’t just five of us anymore! Susie’s getting some practice in on being a big sister–she’s glad she finally has someone smaller to sit on her lap! The girls and I saw a healthy baby on the ultrasound today (Tommy, to his chagrin, missed the […]
