It’s a never ending cycle. I swear. We have our hopefully, **fingers crossed**, last appointment for Raelynn’s blood work on November 13th. We just have to go to the pediatrician and she has to get her finger pricked and I think they will be able to test it in the office. So, we should be […]

Scott and I have started to have some marital issues. I feel like I have to disclose this first. Scott is and continues to be my number one supporter. I don’t know what I would do without him. He is one of the best guys ever. I feel like we’ve just been in a really […]

Scott and I have “officially” decided to start trying to have another baby. As in, we literally took the plunge this weekend so there is no going back now… And I am scared shitless. I constantly question and “what if” every other decision in my life, so obviously, I would question this one. I don’t […]

I got a call yesterday around 2:00 p.m. It was Raelynn’s doctor about her blood results. He asked if I had some time to go over her blood work. My heart immediately sank because I knew it was not going to be what I wanted to hear. Her results weren’t bad, but they weren’t necessarily […]

Tonight, we are taking a break from our busy schedules and we are going to see our new niece, Harper Grace. Scott’s sister had her yesterday and it’s our first niece. We have two nephews so we are excited for a niece. Plus, Raelynn will have a playmate now that is close in age to […]

Last Friday was Raelynn’s visit to Kosair where she had to get blood drawn for her iron study. I must say, I was expecting the worst and it wasn’t that bad at all. The nurses were great, she did well, and it was much quicker than I had anticipated. Although I would have preferred for […]

My ultimate goal when I started breastfeeding was to make it to a year. In the early days I never thought I would make it to a week, or a month, or 3 months. BUT, I accomplished my overall goal and breastfed my daughter until she was a year old. It was certainly one of […]

Today is the last day at my current job. I have so many mixed feelings about it; both good and bad. This job made me feel like I was useful again. it made me feel like more than a milk machine to my little girl. It made me feel like a person again. With all […]

I am that mother that googles. WHY? WHY do I do this to myself? I’ll never understand because I know what the outcome is. Basically my child is going to die according to google. Every. Single. Time. UGHHH, I hate it! So, why did I google? Because Dr. Google has all the answers… Raelynn inhaled […]

I had the phone interview with controller of the company I am interested in and I am so unsure of how it went. There was a larger then life language barrier. She is located in France, and I was aware of that, but I was not expecting such a huge barrier. Even though she spoke […]

Scott and I have recently decided that it was time to sell our house and buy a new one. We are very quickly outgrowing our 1000 sq ft house. Little did I know, I could not get preapproved for a loan with a temporary job status. So, last Thursday, I approached my boss and asked […]
