Photo shoot


The other day I tried to get a few pictures of Bubby while he was sleeping so sweetly. I cranked the heat up in the house, opened the big windows and threw a white sheet over some pillows. The result is not professional by any means, but I like it.
I think the top one is my favorite, but I am not sure. Hmmm????
I know I am biased, but he is such a handsome little guy.
Here he is sleeping in his blessing outfit (see the post below for details)
I like this one to, with the crooked little smile.

I took this picture to remind myself that he is the same baby that was in my tummy not that long ago. Despite the many ultra-sounds, we were never able to get a good face shot on him, this is why. Somethings don't change.

He had his 2 month checkup the other day and is doing fantastic. He is 9 lbs 5 oz, 21 3/4". So growing fantastic. The Dr. did say he does have colic, and that is why he is so fussy. The problem with that is there is not much help. He recommended a probiotic I thought we would try, but do any of you have any suggestions?

I'm going to have to agree with you, that top shot is beautiful. I also love the bottom one mostly because it looks like his favorite position, like you said. So peaceful, I love it!

What a cutie! I would get culturelle, that's what I use. It's powder, you dissolve it in any liquid.

Is that a probiotic? I googled it and I think it is the one the Dr. recommended? Any ideas where to buy it. I have Amanda checking to see if I can get it through her pharmacy, but if you know a place....

With Levi we just gave him some yogurt in a surynge (cant spell today sorry) anyways, there is the ones out now with lots of good probiotics in them and that is what we did, but sadly it wasnt enough, he still needed to go on Rinitadine, I think it would have been ok if it hadn''t been for his immature sphincter! Good luck...

Dill essential oil rubbed right on the belly button works really well...Dilute 1 drop oil to 3 drops olive oil. Lavender is very calming too...

He really is so precious. I hope he still has those cheeks by the time I get there. Wish we could have been there for the blessing (and the food :)

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...
