So, I’m the proud parent of a 3 year old, a funny, demanding, and opinionated 3 year old. I think each stage BJ goes through I say “this is my favorite stage” I believe it every time I say it but … really, for real this time, this is my favorite stage. BJ tells meContinueContinue reading “The Wonderful 3’s”

My Birthday wish
BJ’s birthday came on a super cold Saturday. We had to reschedule his birthday party; I bought cupcakes on that Thursday because I knew we’d be iced in for the weekend. The Hubter and I sang him happy birthday and he ate two cupcakes while enjoying the all too infrequent family time with just usContinueContinue reading “My Birthday wish”
Clarity… through a friend
Today God spoke to me through one of my dearest friends… BJ’s Godmother. She knows more than anyone what it feels like to go through what we went through with BJ when he was born prematurely. Her path and mine have a lot of similarities… God definitely put her in my life for a reason.ContinueContinue reading “Clarity… through a friend”
It’s that time of year…
It’s that time of year, a time to thank God for another year, to celebrate BJ’s birthday and celebrate how far he’s come. I’ve been trying for the past couple of weeks to figure out why I’ve been feeling so…off. Not sad not happy just a little off kilter. And yesterday I figured it out,ContinueContinue reading “It’s that time of year…”
Hello Again
Its been a while since we’ve spoken to each other so let me start off by saying how much I’ve missed you. Life got a bit in the way of things for a while. And by life I mean that BJ has been thriving in his terrible twos and my job decided to block wordContinueContinue reading “Hello Again”
The littlest things…
There’s something about holding BJ’s hand that makes my heart melt. Maybe its the level of unwaivering trust that it represents… Or the reminder that I’m responsible for raising and providing my little ray of sunshine all that he needs to make it in this world. I’m instilling in him his morale compass by leadingContinueContinue reading “The littlest things…”
Stressed the Heck Out…
It’s been a while since I’ve logged on to do some writing… Life has been CRAZY lately. Actually I’ll retract the work life and insert the word WORK. Work has been driving me absolutely insane. I’m an accountant. I went to school to become an accountant and am actually working on my Master’s degree withContinueContinue reading “Stressed the Heck Out…”
Mama Bear…
I was talking casually about my son to my (male) manager this morning and he told me that I was “one of those protective moms.” His tone wasn’t admiring or appreciative, the word “those” was kind of sneered. A million things crossed my mind to say back to him, instead I stood a little tallerContinueContinue reading “Mama Bear…”
Chance Encounter…
I ran into two people at the walk Saturday who follow my blog. It was a pleasant surprise. One was referred to it by one of BJ’s primary nurses, Kristina. Nurse Kristina crossed the line from nurse to friend while BJ was still in the NICU and told her new primary about my blog. SheContinueContinue reading “Chance Encounter…”
Marching Forward…
Last Saturday was our March of Dimes walk. I thought this year I’d be able to keep my emotions in check a little better since we were one more year away from the NICU. But, it wasn’t as easy as I thought it would be. We arrived at the park at around 8:30 a fullContinueContinue reading “Marching Forward…”
