 I am a Catholic SAHM to two kids and three babies in Heaven. I like to write about Catholicism, homemaking, being a Mom, living with three mental disorders, and the like. (more?)

So, it’s Christmas. It’s been a fun Christmas, except for that dull ache inside me. It’s so hard not to have that ache, when the entire world is focused on the birth of an Infant. It’s hard not to think “boy, I would be 32 or 36 weeks pregnant right now … we would [...] Yesterday afternoon, I received a call from my doctor’s office. The results of the thrombophilia panel finally came in. And incredibly, it revealed the cause of the miscarriages: Factor V Leiden. I was (and still am) in total shock. After the second miscarriage, I talked with my parents about their respective family histories, whether [...] Last night I had some major optimism when the spotting went away for a couple of hours. However, it returned around 10pm last night and has steadily progressed to light bleeding, to moderate bleeding with some slight cramping. Everything is pointing to miscarriage, despite seeing what we should be seeing yesterday. I haven’t actually [...] Okay, so I had all these great ideas for writing this post. In fact, I started hinting about it – that’s what those two medical appointments are about. Obstetrical appointments. BABY APPOINTMENTS!! Any and all posts I had written in my head disappeared this afternoon, when I began spotting. And not ‘old blood’ spotting, [...] Milestone #1: Elise is back on the growth charts!! She had a weight/height check on Tuesday, and we were shocked with just how big she’s grown. Since August she’s gained three inches and three pounds (I’m sure the bulk of that was since November, since we went gluten-free). The doctor’s FNP suggested we give [...] 1. Yesterday was the day in which the kids took loooooong naps and I had everything done that needed to get done, but instead spent their naptime working on trying to fix my computer. Long story short: Ubuntu 10.04 cripples (and I mean cripples) my 2005 Compaq, and a downgrade to 9.10 left my [...] On Divine Mercy Sunday (so, this past Sunday) our little Benedictus was Baptised, thanks be to God. It was fantastic, as all Baptisms are. My cousin took photos and once he gets them to me, I will post some of my favorites. Benedict slept through the whole thing, and especially liked it when Fr. [...] After a seven hour labor, 15 minutes of pushing and 6 actual pushes; our beloved Benedictus has arrived! He was born at 2:44am, weighing in at 8 pounds, 5 ounces and 21 inches long (a pound heavier and 2 inches longer than Elise!). Labor and delivery was absolutely amazing and just … wow. [...] … I’m in labor! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! We’re already in the hospital (totally agree that dilation happens MUCH faster the second time around), and Little One should be here soon, God willing. All you holy angels and Saints of God, pray for us! :> : > :> And any prayers you readers can spare would [...] I did this with Elise’s birth, and I had a lot of fun with it; so may as well do it again. As noted on the ticker to the side, I’m down to the last week before the due date. I don’t have an induction scheduled but the Feast of the Annunciation is as [...] |
