It’s been a long year around here.  If you wanna read about the dramatic way this guy decided to join us last January 31st, click here. Me?  I wanna put all that behind me and celebrate how far he’s come one year later. On Meyer’s actual birthday, Asher was in school and Gabe was at […]

I’m so nervous this morning, I’m thinking of having a bowl of Xanax Krispies for breakfast. Baby M has his big swallow study in less than 2 hours. The last one was in June. He failed. Boy, did he fail. He aspirated on his second or third swallow of barium-laced milk. And then he proceeded […]

I gotta warn you — this time it’s personal. Last week’s mom shaming trend was a little controversial on the internets.

One end was velcro’d securely around my baby’s chest and the other — the apnea monitor — was slung over my shoulder. Along with my baby bag. My purse.

Yep. This is what it looks like in my house right now. The heat is killing us here in Atlanta. Even the energizer bunny fell over asleep mid-play. The baby refuses to even wake up. And the dog? Not even willing to bark at the UPS guy. It’s officially Hell hot.

Premature Elation

Unless you or a close family member or friend have ever had a baby decide to come into this world really, really early, you probably have no idea what the preemie world is like. That was me a few months ago. My first son was born full-term without incident. This one, not so much. Go ahead and […]
