When Are You Due?
I have written this post in my head a thousand times. It brings up so much anger and self loathing that I finally wanted to get it on paper (digitally of course) so it can get out of my head. In 2019 I was in the best shape of my life. At 26 I was…
Hey Mama, I See You.
Hey mama, I see you. I see you doing your very best for your child. I see you trying to get through a shopping trip to get the things you need. I see you and your family member trying to diffuse the situation. I see you walking out of the store carrying your shoeless child.…
“I love you”
It’s no secret that Jackson communicates differently than most. There are times when J and I will look at each other in pure defeat as Jackson repeats his words over and over. If we cannot figure out the word then we ask Jackson to “show me” and sometimes he is able to take us to…
Toddler Adventures
I have felt many emotions during my motherhood journey. The other day was the first time I have truly teared up for something that made my heart smile. If you know our journey then you know Jackson is in speech therapy and has a speech delay with receptive and expressive communication. This makes day to…
Our Ever Changing Life Update
The only thing that stays the same is everything changes. I just have to laugh sometimes at our crazy story. J had a one year post-op appointment and got the “all clear” from his doctor. Within a week my husband had reached out to his old capitan and was hired back as an EMT. He’s…
Speech Delays and Toddler Days
Jackson is a few months away from his third birthday. I’m not really sure where the time went! It seems just like yesterday J and I were sitting at Yumms joking that we were eating our last meal as just the 2 of us. Later that evening I went into labor and the rest is…
One Year
Wow. Life happened and I now realize it has been a hot minute since I have posted anything. We are officially ONE YEAR post accident. Life looks much different than it did before. There are times we catch ourselves talking about “old times” (pre-accident), during (the recovery process), and post accident. Our life will always…
Madhouse Mornings
I hate weekday mornings. Even on the days that I go in late they suck. I wake up about an hour before the kids. The dogs get let out first and then I fix my cup of coffee, do my makeup, and get dressed. My goal is to do all of this BEFORE the kids…
The Loneliest Hood
Motherhood is the loneliest hood I’ve ever been through (so far). When you first announce your pregnancy every one is so excited and the energy is overflowing. You are showered with gifts and your friends are so excited to be an Aunt to your child. Gender reveals, baby showers, and sprinkle parties mean you’re surrounded…
One Month.
31 days. 744 hours. 44,640 minutes. May 16, 2022 somewhere around 1400ish I got the phone call. The call that would change our lives forever. Oddly enough, this is the second phone call I’ve received that would be so surreal that I almost felt like I was having a nightmare. If I could take that…
