Families

what you'll need:

My 5-year-old, A.J., said to me:

“Mom, your butt is like a big knocking ball on a crane.”

And as if that’s not bad enough, he added:

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Knocking into buildings!”

And he had no idea why that bothered me. Trust me, he knows now!
 

Actually, I’ve been back for a week now. And I apologize for not writing sooner. Getting back to my blog with so much time passed has been somewhat daunting. It’s like calling an old friend who you haven’t spoken with in months. You want to call. But there’s so much to catch up on. You know you’ve got to block off several hours of time that you just don’t have. And where do you even begin?

Okay, now that I’ve taken the first step, where were we? Ah yes, me pregnant, on bed rest and miserable. I remember now.

Well, a lot’s changed since then and I’m excited to tell you all about it. The beginning seems like the only logical place to start, so I’ll begin with the second week of November (when Isabella was born) and catch you up to speed since then. I can’t promise to remember everything… I lost a lot of sleep in those first few weeks.

I’ll spare you all the gory details (unless you want them, if you do, send me an email or give me a call and I’ll be happy to tell you all about it!), but I gave birth naturally…well, not naturally, but with an epidural and without a c-section, at 6pm on Monday, November 10th, 2008.
