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.

The Eek in the Walls

For the last few weeks Jamie has complained about "sounds in his wall". At first I thought he was dreaming, imagining things, or just plain making something up so he doesn't have to go to bed. Tonight he said there was an "eek" in his walls and he obviously was hearing something that I am not hearing. He had his fingers in his ears and said he was scared. I listened as hard as I could, but I didn't hear anything. He insists it's there and I believe he is hearing something that bothers and scares him. I just wish I knew what it was.

I remember that my little brothers used to complain about that room. They used to think there was ghosts and my parents were convinced of the same. I've lived in this house my whole life and it is not haunted. I'm sure of that, but now I wonder if there is something in that room that makes a sound that the boys heard when they were little and that my little boy is hearing now. Further investigation is certainly necessary.
