Daniel had his first appointment with Dr. Weiss. He's convinced that the Kidney Reflux is small and will go away as Daniel gets bigger. As for the circumcision, he still wants to wait until Daniel gets bigger. It seems they always want to wait until the baby gets bigger. We're working on it...but it seems like it takes forever. I know I'll ( Read more... )

It definately smells like fall. It makes me think of apples and pumpkins; of the first day of school; of hot tea and instant oatmeal for breakfast. The leaves here on the shore are just starting to change color ( Read more... )

Here in CT, I'm sure that Fall has arrived, although not on the calendar quite yet. I was outside hanging out the diapers to dry (yes, I use cloth diapers, and I do, on occasion, hang them on the line to dry), and my fingers got cold. I had to get a sweater to keep warm. And it smells like fall. Before we know it, leaves will be on the ground, ( Read more... )

I don't suppose there'll be many times when I don't talk about my son, but at this point in his life things change so much daily that it is still very exciting ( Read more... )

And so I am now an ancient 27 years old. Don't you hate it when someone asks you, "so how does it feel to be a year older?" But...you're not really a year older, not from yesterday, at least ( Read more... )

Last night Daniel woke up nice and early (4:30am) and just wanted to snuggle. It's always nice to know that I'm unconditionally loved - or at least needed. He's a cutie and I love him. I'm tired roday, but it's nice to have the freedom to just relax and do alot of not much. The little one and I just sat and played on the floor for most of the ( Read more... )

It's been a few days since I've updated. It is peaceful here tonight. Ron is upstairs watching a Cubs game, and Daniel is with him, hopefully sleeping by now. Today was a good day, a fairly productive day. I went shopping (fun shopping, that is), did some laundry, played with Daniel, and all of the other normal stuff. Daniel is certainly ( Read more... )

Daniel slept the entire night in his own crib. Sure, he woke up a couple of times, but he did eat, and anything Daniel eats is good. I think he's a little less traumatized these last couple of days than he's been. He wants to play on his own a little more. And he's trying to walk, but lacks the required balance ( Read more... )

You know, I remember the time when I could go to a confrence and focus my entire being on G-d. Those were exciting days. And somehow, I let my relationship with Him slip as life took over. I went to a confrence with my family (MY family - my husband and son...it still sounds wierd to me) and was unable to focus my entire being on G-d. Yes, I ( Read more... )
