I'm just a girl who swore up and down that I would NEVER have children that is currently right at this very moment holding a bottle under my chin feeding my 7 week old with my 14 month old clinging to my leg begging for attention and my two and a half year old ever so proudly declaring from the other room, "I pooped, Mama!" Oh yeah, and my husband (that I also swore I would NEVER have because I clearly knew what I wanted in life) is outside working on the fixer upper house we bought right before we had our second child to make room for two kids only to find out four months later that we were having a THIRD baby. This is my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.

Happy Mother’s Day…from Holland

First off, no I’m not in Holland. I’ll explain that in a second. Secondly, I just want to say I hope this doesn’t turn into a long rambling post of nonsense. This Mother’s Day just has me in my thoughts and feelings and I wanted to try and share some happy thoughts with everyone. So, […]

Angry Mama Bear

Get your shit together people. Do what needs to be done and don’t be so damn selfish. My son’s life depends on it. Someone’s mother’s life depends on it. Someone’s brother. Someone’s child. Someone’s grandparent. Do you get it yet?

It’s just life…a little different.

And while most people that we’ve told feel sad or sorry, I honestly can’t say I’m feeling all that different. We knew life was going to be different for Apollo and we knew this was a possibility.

Our First (and hopefully ONLY) Seizure

So, in less than a month we’ve had to rush two out of three of our children to the ER. Its actually been less than three weeks. Two children, in the ER, in less than three weeks. I mean….what?!?

Purpose

Well, Thursday we finally got to take Apollo back to the neurologist. For a while there it felt like we may never make it back. On that difficult day back in September that I’m sure we’ll never forget, we were told we’d be scheduled to come back in two weeks. Well, two weeks turned into […]

Adjusting

It’s been a while since I’ve written.

But I’m still adjusting.

To life. To circumstances. To change.

House of Mirrors

I think my life lately has been a lot like walking through a house of mirrors. Take a few steps. Hit a wall. Back up. See your own reflection and question your direction and just keep going.

Love is a Powerful Thing

So today, September 30th, is Microcephaly Awareness Day.

3 weeks ago I had no idea this day even existed. I’m not even sure I’d ever even heard the term Microcephaly.
