When we left off, I was being wheeled into the OR in the afternoon for a surprise C-Section, 4 days early, at 38.5 weeks and scared as hell. I am a very superstitious person and look for signs all around me. During the scary, unknown part of my first unexpected C-Section with my daughter, I was feeling helpless and ...
A Birth Story-My Sequel: Part 2
Perhaps I should back up a bit. As I mentioned, the doctor told me that because of the nature of my contractions, the difference I was feeling (despite having already been through FOUR false alarms), I should come in to Labor and Delivery to be checked out. You should know this about me: I am a positive person, I am ...
A Birth Story–My Sequel: Part 1
Hello, there. Or, to many, I should say Hello, Again. Welcome. Or Welcome Back. Right now, you can find me mostly over at 511 Ever After, but I've decided to return for a post that could only be written here; here where my mommy roots are anchored in deep, in stories of joy, enchantment, confusion, pain....my stories from ...
Happy Heart Day,

Just a few (sday?) Tuesday things:
1. My husband is out Happy-Hour-ing with his co-workers. 2. I'm at home nursing a cold.* 3. I've heard people say that honey is healing. I'm using that logic to justify my hoovering of peanut butter and honey by the spoonful. 4. Today, my daughter said, "Mommy, you look just like you. I look just like me." 5. I'm ...
Out of all of the furry things that are happening around me right now,
