Blind Sighted

October 29, 2008

I am walking around blind. Yes, my eyes may see (well ask Andrew, he may argue, haha, especially without my contacts/glasses!) but I am walking around blind most of the time.  Why?  Because right now my sight is clouded with doubt, worry, anxiety, and guilt.  Doubt in myself as a wife and mother, worry over those [...]

AAAH!

October 24, 2008

YAY!  First night Katie slept ALL the way through!  No wake-ups!  now, I am not assuming it will go this way from now on, but this is the BEST progress yet, definately exciting.  Yesterday, we went to the doctor and he thinks Katie may be suffering from reflux and that it has just now, since [...]

Your Prayers

October 23, 2008

Hey folks.  I know I haven’t written in awhile, and I dont have much to say today except I need your prayers.  Andrew is leaving for Baltimore early Saturday morning, like 5:45 early, and won’t be home until Monday around 9pm or later.  I am a nervous wreck!  Also, Katie has been doing this thing [...]

Rest for the Weary

October 19, 2008

Ok, so what is the ONE main thing that any new mother wants, heck even mothers in general!?  REST!  We need rest.  Somedays, thankfully less than more, when Katie has a bad day, I wonder how I even manage getting through the day, much less another nighttime feeding.  (Everyone she is SO close to making [...]

What a day

October 17, 2008

Ok, so yesterday, Katie was apparantly in a growth spurt.  She did just hit 6 weeks Sunday, and EVERY book, article and website I have seen said babies will have a growth spurt at 6 weeks, and that you can almost set your clocks by it.  SO, I knew it was coming, but I was [...]

Confessions of a New Mom

October 14, 2008

THE BAD: I am OCD, I am a worrier, I suffer with anxiety at times, I don’t always know “what to do”, I sometimes let her cry, I sometimes can’t let her cry (it hurts too much), sometimes I may be a “sissy”, I am tired, I get frustrated with Andrew, I get frustrated with [...]

Baltimore Collision

October 13, 2008

Well, Katie is now 6 weeks old.  I cannot believe it.  It truly still seems like yesterday that I was telling Andrew the exciting news that we were pregnant and now, here it is, 9 months (well I guess minus 3 weeks) and 6 weeks later and we have a beautiful, adorable little girl.  Ok, so [...]

Soul Espresso

October 9, 2008

So, I ordered some books from CBD the other week.  I saw this book that was 2.99, so I got it.  It is called “Espress for your Spirit: Hope and Humor for pooped out parents.”  It has a scripture passage for thought, a long encourarging devotional type chapter, followed by short little funny paragraphs called “Power Perks.”  The [...]

So bad it’s good

October 8, 2008

Ok, so I have to admit, sometimes i watch WIERD shows.  I do watch the Hills, I already admitted.  However, there is a new show on MTV that is so bad drama wise you just can’t look away.  It is like those troll dolls!  Remember those?!  They were so ugly they were cute.  This show is [...]

First Sunday Out: Part I, and catch-up

October 5, 2008

Today will be our first Sunday out.  I am taking katie to church.  it has been 5 weeks myself since I have gone, so though I am looking forward to getting back, seeing my friends and fellow Christ-followers, I must admit I am a bit nervous too.   Honestly, I am not TOO nervous about leaving Katie in the [...]
