…the strap of the seatbelt is permanently embedded into your skin. …you reach for your turn signal when you are walking down the hall at work. …you start making up car games with people's t-shirt logos. …your left foot doesn't work because of lack of use. …your right foot is stuck in a pointed position, like pushing the gas. …you check your rear view mirror to cross the street…on foot.  [ Read More ]

This week has been crazy…moving to California, many firsts, new and exciting things in my baby boy's life, and a family tragedy.  It has been an absolute roller coaster that doesn't seem to have ended quite yet.  In all the hubbub, I was able to sit at the computer and write the following blog last Wednesday night, February 18, 2009.  Here's a little glimpse at what I was thinking and feeling… This  [ Read More ]

Nebulized

My baby boy has RSV, a respiratory virus, and it is no fun.  He has the worst cough and wheezes most of the time as he breaths; it isn't bad while he is sleeping though.  Since he was staying at my parents' all week (so we could pack for Cali), they took him to the Urgent Care last night.  He had a fever because of an ear infection also (antibiotics  [ Read More ]

When Dale lived in Ponca City while I was pregnant and still in Tulsa, it was a lifesaver to have skype and be able to talk to him every night. Since we've lived here, we've talked to my parents, Grandpa Bob and Oma… and Dale's Mom, Mime many times so that they can see their grand baby. But today is the first time that we are on the other end  [ Read More ]

Time Apart

…the heart grows fonder. Right?!  But how long does it take?  As soon as I put my baby boy in his car seat last night for him to go home with my parents for a few days, I felt it.  I missed him already!  But like my Mom said, this is the perfect time for him to go stay with him…he's big enough to be okay and he's small enough  [ Read More ]
