Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: A Bad Cough

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.

A Bad Cough

Jamie's sick today. I have to keep him home from school. He doesn't have a fever, but he's coughing so bad that he's making himself vomit. Poor thing threw up a little bit on his Eeyore. He was very upset and told me to put him in the washer. Of course I did. When I told him he was going to stay home today he said he wanted to go to school. I told him he couldn't go with a cough that bad. He told me that his cough was gone and tried his hardest to stifle it. He couldn't, though.

I've given him some medicine and he is in bed sleeping. Hopefully he'll feel better in time for school tomorrow.
