Overall, so much better than my fears were telling me it would go. I had my second cesarean section on Friday, October 7. Boy was I nervous beforehand! I figured I would write out the details, just in case we decide to do this again I can look back at it and know what to […]
For anyone out there who has been following our plight through my husband’s medical issues, we have good news! Here is a copy of the email I sent to our friends and family: Hi everyone, Chris had his medical tests today and they went well. They didn’t find anything horrible – just some inflammation in the stomach
My husband and I are worried sick. It started about a week ago, when he began experiencing a terrible stomach ache. In the past week, we’ve been to the ER and several doctors, and they’ve run various tests, but we haven’t gotten any results back yet, in part because it’s a darn holiday weekend. So
We had to go to the ER yesterday, and it was bustling! Since this is our second visit in a month, I can tell you that unfortunately, yesterday’s busyness was not any different from the norm.

Has there ever been a time in your life you have just had to wait on something? The anxiety sets in while trying to be patient and it’s difficult to think of anything else. When a child this anticipation is often felt in birthdays and Christmas when you just can’t wait for that toy you’ve
This is probably one of the last posts I’m going to write about pregnancy. As we get down to the end, there’s not much to report (I cannot physically do much TO report!), and I will definitely post pictures of the baby. I started my weekly Dr. visits a few weeks ago, and today, finally
