Adventures in Open Adoption. October 21, 2016. My kid doesn’t sleep. And I don’t mean she. Doesn’t sleep or doesn’t nap. I mean she.does.not.sleep. And when she doesn’t sleep, we don’t sleep. And I cannot function without sleep. I’ve also been to countless appointments with doctors, therapists, specialists, school districts, and daycare. We are starting occupational therapy for her sensory issues next Monday. When the hell am I going to have time for therapy for me? Or time for me to even sit quietly and...

Winter break was upon us at my last posting, and we left for a two week trip to Iowa, Chicago, and then back to Cincinnati to stay in a hotel for another six days until the lead abatement on our house was complete.

Growing Toast | Connected Through Love
https://connectedthroughlove.wordpress.com/2016/01/29/growing-toast
Adventures in Open Adoption. January 29, 2016. After a rough week of working way too many hours, fighting off a cold, an ER visit for the baby, and a congested toddler who won’t sleep, I needed a good laugh. This morning, M was eating a piece of multi-grain toast with seeds on it. One of the seeds fell off and she cupped it gently in her hands, ran over to me and said, “Mommy! If we put this in the ground, put dirt on it, and water it, we can grow another toast! It still makes me laugh hours later. 🙂.

West Allis Baby Project: I Hate Lead
http://westallisbabyproject.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-hate-lead.html
West Allis Baby Project. Much more than 40 weeks of stories. Monday, May 14, 2012. Micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood). To make a long, worrisome story short, Weston's BLL is elevated. Anything over 10. Μg/dL is cause for concern, but after my hours and hours of researching lead poisoning on the Internet, there is no such thing as a safe BLL. We have an appointment at the lead clinic on Wednesday, and from there they'll walk us through what our next steps are. How did he get this? Ready To Be A Mom.

A couple of weeks ago, we took a little family vacation to the Red River Gorge. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
