Glad that’s over….time for sleep
I’m tired. This day is all but finished. My bed is calling. Loudly. I’ll do a quick update for those of you who missed my random FB posts. (BTW, phones don’t work in Children’s unless you hold it just right or are by a window so all I have is wireless. Hence the updates through the internet). Noah was is a rockstar! He’s been sleeping pretty much since coming out of surgery, except to fight assessments and he really despises the O2 tubes up his nostrils. And he really threw a fit when his room got so warm. But once they listened to me about how much he hates being…

Tomorrow
As I sit her sandwiched by my two amazing boys on the eve of N’s surgery. I don’t know what to think about it all. I’m so very excited to be getting rid of that blasted NG tube and having full access to his cheeks! That’s something I haven’t had since the first day he was born. But, at what cost? I’m losing his perfectly smooth, soft, and kissable belly. I’m going to watch his body create a scar and heal around a foreign object that goes into his stomach. He will never be scar free again. His soft baby skin will have a cut and scar. I know it’s…

I feel like I’m forgetting something
As I sit here watching “The Voice”, yes I kind of love that show, I’m trying to make a list of everything we need to do and to pack before heading up to the hospital for N’s surgery. It’s kind of daunting. There is so much with 2 kids, not including all the extra gear a special little guy like N entails. Where are the days when I could spontaneously run out the door and have everything I need in less than 5 minutes?! Will they ever come back to me? I still have this feeling I’m forgetting something. Something important. It’s been that way since I started the lists and…

My First Born
I didn’t want anyone to forget this beautiful face during all this! He’s still his amazing self and growing like a weed. He is so big and the things he does and comes up with daily never cease to amaze me. 🙂 We are now entering that toddler phase I was dreading. He went from having an amazing appetite and loving his veggies to no longer eating his supper, unless it’s pizza or spaghetti night. He’ll go to bed hungry before touching his supper. He’ll pretend to take a bite or a take a small one and before it’s reached his tongue it’s back out and he’s saying “yuck!”. It’s…

Big 24 hours in the A household!
Warning: Brag post ahead. N is on fire the past couple days. We’ve seen it building over the past couple of months & especially this past month. It’s like a switch is going off. He’s reaching, batting, examining anything and everything he can get his hands into. He has head control (the majority of the time). He tries to pull himself up from reclining against my chest to sit (strength isn’t there but he’s trying). He turns 180° when you’re not looking. He is amazing me in every way possible all the time. Earlier in the week during his assessment by the developmental therapist he would turn to bells jingling.…
