This blog is just about my life and mostly revolves around my son, Jamie. This blog is a combination of everything, whether it may be a new recipe I tried, a good freebie I found, something funny Jamie said, or feelings I'm having about life in general. There's little rhyme or reason. I'll never win any blogging awards, but I enjoy writing about our lives and I mostly do it for my son. It's so easy to forget moments over the years. I've got all these little tidbits of our life in print and I hope that someday Jamie can enjoy them.

I called this blog Mother of Life, Mother of Loss because of my issues with pregnancy loss and the joy of finally bringing this wonderful person into the world. Truly, I feel the pains of loss, but you won't see too much of that here. I am blessed and I am, above all else, a mother of life.

After all the years of infertility and loss, Matthew and I were blessed with a surprise pregnancy. We were pregnant with twins, but unfortunately, Baby A could not stay with us. Baby B grew into a healthy and happy baby girl that we named Bella Marie. We are so blessed to have two beautiful children.

Kidisms 5/31/08

I'm always getting a kick out of the things that Jamie says and does. Recently, my DH made popcorn and Jamie smelled it cooking. Not knowing how to tell my husband that he smelled the popcorn he exclaimed, "Daddy, there's popcorn in my nose!"

Sometimes it's just every day little things that sound so amazing coming out of their little mouths. Jamie has a cold right now and he's been coughing pretty bad. He told me the first night, "Mommy, I need medicine for my cough." It was pitiful. I gave him the medicine and he laid down and immediately began coughing again. "Mommy!!" he said, pointing inside his mouth, "Cough medicine not working!" I laughed and told him to give it a little while.Maybe it's stuff that only his mother (and father) finds entertaining or endearing.
