Failure to Thrive?

June 14, 2012

As I write this, I’m sitting at Panera immediately after Asher’s 9 Month well check. I’m trying to catch a few moments to myself and process after a few hard days emotionally.

Yearning

July 6, 2011

It’s funny to me how you can miss someone so much that you haven’t even met yet. In these days leading up to little brother’s birth, I find myself yearning for ALL of my babies to be home. Not just little brother growing within, but also little sister from afar. It’s somewhat strange to be [...]
