Silly, Silly K

I love the funny things kids say, and K is at that perfect age to say all kinds of funny things.  Here are a few from the past week. 

She has been really into the Holy Ghost this week, and honestly we don't know why.  Anyway, she draws pictures of him all the time and "the Holy Ghost" is her answer to every question.  The other day we asked her what the Holy Ghost does her reply, "He makes me safe and warm, he makes me happy, and sometimes he eats my food"  I know the Holy Ghost has lots of jobs, but I never knew he finished dinner for people.  

We decorated for Christmas the other night, and K was totally into it.  She loved decorating the tree, and helping set up the nativities.  My favorite is a beautiful set made by Fontanini.  It is a hand painted and antiqued plastic set (best of both worlds, beautiful and childproof).  As she unpacked baby Jesus and the manger, she was really excited.  She took baby Jesus out, cradled him in her hands, and sweetly sang to him.  Then she turned him over and gasped.  "OH NO!  Mommy baby Jesus has poops on his butts" (he had a bit too much antique glaze on his back side.)

When we told her that we celebrated Christmas for Jesus' birthday she got really excited.  She was jumping around me and said, "We need a cake, we need to make a cake for Jesus, and we need ALL the candles."  When I asked her who would blow them out she looked at me with her nose all wrinkled up and said, "Jesus" In a duh mom what are you thinking voice.  

She is so much fun.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Comparison: The Thief of Compassion

I have often heard the saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy", but as I have been navigating this road of loss and grief, I have noticed how often comparison denies us the opportunity to have true compassion for someone else.  Comparison is often well meaning and kind hearted, but when we or someone else compares grief, loss, or other trials and tribulations, it shifts the focus and burden of compassion off of us and minimizes the other person. A few moths ago I had a startling interaction that caused me to pause and reflect on this.  A great, well meaning friend said something along these lines, "You thought you had it rough loosing your babies, just imagine being in her shoes.....".  I smiled and nodded my head, but inside I was crushed.  Without going into specifics, the other woman unquestionably has some great difficulties ahead of her, but she didn't have to burry any of her children. How could the 2 circumstances possibly be compared? After the frie...

Starting a New Chapter, Part 1

It was late February, and Kent and I were sitting anxiously in the Doctor's office.  We were waiting to hear if our fears were correct, waiting to know if our baby had died.  Our fears were confirmed and our lives changed forever.  That baby we had prayed about and prayed for, the baby we were excitedly expecting was gone. We were at the beginning of our second trimester.  I was just starting to relax, the worry of miscarriage was all but gone.  Things had been going well.  I had normal pregnancy issues like nausea, and I was relieved that my Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) had gone into remission (that can happen when you are pregnant).  Ultra-Sounds had shown us a beautiful healthy baby. The decision to have another baby was not an easy one to make.  The meds I take for RA are dangerous to take during pregnancy and take quite a bit of time to leave your system.  I also knew that while I might go into remission during pregnancy, I...
