Finding a Rhythm

Well, Punky is 6 weeks old now, and we are getting adjusted.  We restarted our home school schedule when she was 2 weeks old and have been working out the glitches.  She usually sleeps in the morning, so our school schedule has been largely unaffected.  Unfortunately, I still have two toddlers to occupy during our [...]

Our Sweet Blessing

Well, here she is, finally.   I’ll call her Punky here, due to her interesting hairdo.  When she was born, she looked bald on top until the very back of her head, which had hair standing straight up.  She looked a bit like an old man.   Since then, her hair has settled [...]

Valentine’s Day — And Still Pregnant

Obviously, we have a rebel on our hands.  As I have mentioned before, I always start labor on the 10th of the month.  Every time.   But someone has decided to make life a little less predictable and come on her very own schedule.  So here I sit on the 14th, with no baby in my [...]

A Pregnancy Unrecorded

Well, the last time I posted I had just found out that our fifth child was on the way.   I was a little stunned, a little anxious, and very pleased.  Since then, I have been in a whirlwind of change with little or no inclination to blog.  We have moved across 5 time zones, lived [...]

The trouble began last night when L’il Britches decided [...]

Blessing Upon Blessing

I am so excited to announce that our newest blessing has arrived, healthy, happy and much loved.  Li’l Britches decided to stick with the family tradition of laboring on the 1oth of the month.  So, January 1o when I went in for my OB appointment with the midwife, my water broke and the adventure of [...]

New Names

First off, let me answer the “Question of the Day.”  No, I have not had this baby yet. 
Ok, now that we’ve got that out of the way…I think it is time to get the name situation straightened out.  For the purposes of this blog, I’ve been calling my youngest, Baby.  However, any day now (hopefully), [...]

Expecting

All of us who have carried babies to term know that the last month is the longest and slowest, with the last two weeks being even slower and longer.  And so it goes.  I am eager to meet this tiny boy who has grown in me for the better part of a year.   I wait [...]
