Somewhere over the Rainbows: Aidan's Birthday
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2012/06/aidans-birthday.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Tuesday, June 12, 2012. Aidan had a "dirtday" on June 1. I can't believe my little man is four years old. He should still be that little wriggly, smily newborn! This has gone way too fast. He's so funny. We planned his party to be held on his actual birthday, and then we planned a surprise (for him) trip to Tennessee, leaving two days after his birthday. The child has asked, every single day since our last trip, "I go a Tennessee again aday, mommy? He also got a leap pad (whi...

Somewhere over the Rainbows: Some catching up to do.
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2013/10/some-catching-up-to-do.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Sunday, October 13, 2013. Some catching up to do. It's been more than a year since I've written here. I can't believe I've let this go, as much as it means to me to share our lives, love, joy and grief. Life happens, and it happens fast. It doesn't. Like it's been so long. First off, we're all doing fine. The kids are healthy and happy. And GROWING. Sounds familiar. That's the thought that runs a continuous loop through my mind when all is quiet and I let my mind wander.

Somewhere over the Rainbows: August 2011
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Tuesday, August 30, 2011. No Place Like Home. We made it home yesterday. We had an amazing time! The babies were fantastic travelers. The did great! When he got calmed down, he asked, "Where Dellie at? He calls my Momaw "Dellie".) That tickled aunt Velma. After breakfast, we drove over the mountain into Cherokee, but stopped at the top to change diapers, feed babies, and let Aidan see it all. So beautiful up there! But, know what? My kids are pretty good. Aidan does reall...

Somewhere over the Rainbows. Friday, May 27, 2011. The "Hippest" Mommy in Town. My babies are 7 weeks old now. I can't believe how time flies! They are both over 8-1/2 pounds, and healthy and growing like little piggies. Aidan is in love with them, calls both of them "We-bett-ee". If I say, "that's not Rebekah! He'll say, "Gracie! Only it sounds like "Ricie! My little boy will be 3 years old in five days. It doesn't even seem possible, he should still be tiny like the girls! My life is good. The night be...

Somewhere over the Rainbows: March 2011
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Out of Order, little bit of an update. I found out a couple weeks ago that I have Gestational Diabetes. Great. Since I wasn't high risk enough? Or going overdue (my baby came at 38weeks, 5 days) or uncontrolled diabetes. I had the standard glucose tolerance testing at 28 weeks, and passed the first one. When will I give generalized timelines rather than exact? Friday, March 4, 2011. May 31, 2008. So, anesthesia came in and put it in and left. It on...

Somewhere over the Rainbows: November 2011
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Thursday, November 24, 2011. Today is a day to be thankful, but I'm thankful every single day of my life. I am so blessed, and I know it. But, since today's Thanksgiving Day, I'll try to put into words how thankful I am. I'm thankful for my Mom. She is, and has always been, my biggest cheerleader. She would drop everything in a heartbeat if I needed her to. She loves me, Larry, and our kids unconditionally. See, told you I"m super blessed. There's so much more, but I've g...

Somewhere over the Rainbows: Four Christmases Ago
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011/12/four-christmases-ago.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Thursday, December 22, 2011. Throughout the whole Christmas season, we took so much joy in watching Aidan play and love the decorations and lights. As he was knocking ornaments off of the lower branches, we'd laugh and talk about what it would be like the next year, with one on the floor demolishing the lowest branches, and one walking, taking care of the next level of destruction. We couldn't wait. Aidan has always been a big fan of the guy in the red suit! Our life.as is.

Somewhere over the Rainbows: September 2011
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Sunday, September 25, 2011. My due date with my first rainbow pregnancy was September 17th or 19th. I don't remember now. I feel bad about it, but I just don't. I remember I went out and bought 2 new maternity tops right away. I believed it was my last pregnancy, I was determined to make the most of it. I ordered 2 pairs of maternity jean shorts (jorts? Monday, September 12, 2011. It does affect me. What went through my mind? I don't think I was as heartbroken then about the ...

Somewhere over the Rainbows: April 2011
http://lorisbabies.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Somewhere over the Rainbows. Saturday, April 2, 2011. In just 4 days, I will have my baby girls in my arms, Lord willing. They're measuring over 6lbs each by ultrasound, and I've been showing signs of labor, so the doctor went ahead and scheduled me in for Wednesday, April 6th for my repeat c-section. I'm excited. I'm scared. I'm ready. I'm not ready. Oh, the thoughts whirling around in my head! I can't share my excitement about my upcoming birth, without telling the agony and sadness of my last birth.
