Meeting with Principal and Teachers

On Wednesday, we met with Gus' principal and teachers to discuss Gus getting pushed.

4-year-old bullying

For the past several months, Gus has shared stories of things that have happened at school that have involved kids "fighting" and "pushing" him. I didn't really pay attention to the frequency of these incidents nor the names of the children involved. Last week that changed.

Tittle's Day 2015

5 years ago this today Jon and I learned that our 3rd child, Tittle died.

PPD?

A couple weeks ago, Jon told me that he wanted me to find a new counselor as he thought I had postpartum depression and/or depression that was still unresolved from when Oscar and Bella died.

Pre-Christmas Thoughts

I'm not really looking forward to Christmas this year, which isn't usual. Jon is looking forward to Christmas this year, which isn't usual. Does that mean we'll have an unusual Christmas?

Lucy's Birth Story

For those who want the details, here is Lucy's entrance to the world.

I am still here

No, I have not abandoned this blog. I have the beginnings of several posts in my head, but rarely do I find the time, have the energy and access to the computer all at the same time.

Lucy is 7w old now. While I'm still tired, I don't feel as much like a zombie. Gus is usually a super helpful big brother and adjusting to having a living sibling. We just celebrated Thanksgiving and are gearing up for Christmas...I'm not looking forward to it (hopefully more on that in a future post).

I'm doing a good job, I think, of keeping up with reading others' blogs, it's just writing on my own that's been put on the back burner for a little bit. To those that are still reading, thank you. I will return!

She's Here!

I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to post her entire birth story, but Lucy arrived on Friday, October 10 after a successful induction!!!

A Couple of Updates

It seems that time is flying by, and going slowly, at the same time, so I thought it best to do an update post.

Lucy's 2nd Trip to L&D

This morning I had an appointment at the Diabetes Center located at the same hospital that I will be delivering Lucy. The appointment was at the same time that I usually have an appointment for my NST's on Mondays and Fridays. Usually, Lucy kicks me on the drive to the hospital. This morning she didn't.
