Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: Making Dynisha a Blog

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.

Making Dynisha a Blog

After posting all about Dynisha earlier today, I decided to set her up a blog of her own. I think it will be a good way for her to express herself, practice her typing, and learn valuable writing skills. We spent a good chunk of the evening fixing it up and letting her type up her first couple of blogs. I think it turned out really, really cute. I'll definitely monitor it and we've discussed not putting her last name, address, school, phone number, etc. on the blog. She won't be posting any time soon without my assistance anyway. I think it's just so sweet. We named it Bubble Gum & Lipstick. It seemed to suit her.
