Mother of Life, Mother of Loss: Update

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.

Update

Click on the picture to see it bigger and you can see how he sleeps with his eyes open. This time only one is open. Wouldn't that freak you out!

Jamie seemed to feel okay today, but the coughing was pretty extreme. He asked several times during the day to go to school. He slept intermittently, I think due to the medicine I gave him. I think he'll probably have to stay home from school tomorrow. I may even need to take him to the doctor. I'll have to see how he does tonight and tomorrow. I picked up some Mucinex and I hope that helps more than the allergy medicine I gave him today. I'm positive this isn't allergies.

I feel bad that he has to stay home. There's a lot going on this week since it's the week of Valentines Day.
