1) Griffin's first word on Saturday was "Mama", after 2 nights of being away from me due to wedding festivities. That's two for two! He's now working on "up" and "more" -- has the syllables partly there.

2) Austin - "Movie Traps" instead of booby traps and "Cupiter" instead of Jupiter. "Mom, CUPITER is the biggest planet!" ...what a freaking ( Read more... )

I am mentally, physically, spiritually exhausted. I'm too tired to write this post, but I mean to do a better job at reflecting on my life. I keep putting it off and someday, I'm going to be 50, wondering why I didn't get to where or who I wanted to be. Sometimes, you just go for it. This is me, going for it.

I can't wait to hold my son and just look at him for the first time. I hope ( Read more... )

I can feel my little hippo moving and kicking around inside my tummy. Hands down the coolest feeling I have ever felt in my life. It feels like a little fish wiggling around in my uterine area. It is AMAZING to know that there is a PERSON in my body, my little baby, interacting with me, listening to my voice when I sing (for better or for worse). ( Read more... )

It's curious to me, how finding the right song, even if the mood is gloomy such as mine is tonight, makes me happy and slightly giddy for having found something that matches my mood. I think most people mistake this composition as a love song but it's more than that, to me anyway. It's less a love song and more a tragic plea that begs mercy and ( Read more... )
