Well, here we are, two weeks from the death of our precious angel baby, Luna Grace. In some ways, life is simpler. We're back at the house we were moving into when I got sick, surrounded by kids and friends. In some ways it seems eerily like nothing ever happened, like I was never even pregnant. Some moments are exactly the same, I'm cooking short- ( Read more... )

Little Luna's funeral is tonight. I have to say, this is all so surreal. It's like a dream, the time we spent so focused on her up in Indy for 6 weeks. Now her body will be gone. I was so fortunate to have been able to hold her as she passed quietly from this world. Quiet was something she never got to experience, hooked up to so many many dinging ( Read more... )

Luna Grace Routen was born via c-section on May 24th at IU Med Center. She weighs 2 lbs and is 13 inches long. The condition I had developed more rapidly than anyone thought, and I woke up with the worst headache of my life, which didn't go away...then they were taking us to the OR and it was over ( Read more... )

Just starting my 26th week. I am belly-obsessed. It's funny.
I am so tired this morning. I had to get up at 4:30 AM to take MBD and the boyz to the airport to go to Florida to visit g-ma. I must stay awake- I have so much to do. We are going to be moving in a week or so (I hope).
I truly just want to go back to bed.

I know S~ is sitting at home right now all like, "OMFG, my fiancee is psycho." Gyod, being pregnant seems to make everything matter 10 times more or less, depending on what it is ( Read more... )

GO SEE IT! NOW!
It is possibly the best movie I have ever seen.

OMG. I am so not into the dogs that live next door. BARK all the time, starting at 3:30 AM sharp nightly. I don't know when we'll be closing on the house yet, but it'll be sometime in the next 30 days. I can't wait to get the hell up on outta here. The nice thing is this morning, the charge nurse let me come in an hour late so I could make up my ( Read more... )

In a grand gesture that the Universe does indeed answer our prayers, in the span of one week, S~ and I saw a house in MBD's neighboorhood go up for sale. A repo by People's State Bank, the house, while in need of TLC, (which architects like S~ adore, of course), is a great 1956 modern ranch with a corner lot yard and many interesting spaces inside ( Read more... )

I cannot believe it's going to snow like crazy tonight. Typical ( Read more... )
