I haven’t had access to the internet for the last couple of days, so I haven’t been able to give you any updates. Derek is doing really good. He has a feeding tube and a few other things hooked up, but he’s really doing well. He’s a little jaundice, so he has […]

Mom and Derek are doing great.

What a crazy ride our family has had this past week. Lynnette has been so amazingly strong throughout this entire process.

Tonight started like any other, at least the last few days anyway. I was video chatting with Lynnette […]

Well I made it through the night. I got about 2 hours of sleep, around 5 until 7. I felt really weird this morning, so Kevin decided to come hang out with me for most of the day. My contractions went away around 10ish this morning, and I’ve been feeling pretty good.

A king size waterbed holds enough water to fill a 2000 sq. ft. house 4 inches deep. If you spray hair spray on dust bunnies and run over them with roller blades, they can ignite. A 3-year old Boy’s voice is louder than 200 adults in a crowded restaurant. If you hook a dog leash over a ceiling […]

This morning they unhooked me from my IV, the fetal monitor and the thingy to monitor […]

Hooray for me, I was fortunate enough to share in the overnight festivities.

It seems the reality of the situation may have finally caught up with Sophia, as she was up most of the night.

Our little adventure began about 1:00 A.M. (maybe she could sense you were up? I should have called you) and ended around […]

Monday was actually started out to be a really good day. Mom came to visit from around 11 until 3ish, which made the day go by really fast! I was then able to get a quick nap in. Later Sophia and Kevin came to visit, then Angie showed up too. […]

Sunday was a great day for us. I finally got to take a shower…you don’t even understand how wonderful that was!! However, when I was in the shower, they took away my food tray and changed my bedding, and with those items went my cell phone. So my lifeline and long distance […]
