It’s an issue I’ve had for a while. The anxiety rooted in worry, in lack of control over things that we can not control but try to. It consumes my mind, my being and can often times keep my brain so focused on what I’m worried about and the million different outcomes of various situations,Continue reading “Stop worrying and enjoy your life”

“We thought we had lost him”
It all happened a week ago today. I don’t think Meg or I have ever had moments as terrifying as the ones we experienced last week. I don’t know how more bluntly I could put it other than, we thought our little man had left us. For me, it was Friday night and I hadContinue reading ““We thought we had lost him””
Dry-erasing the memories as a new chapter starts
It’s been an emotional 24 hours, and it all begins with a dry erase board. What? A dry erase board? How much wallop can a piece of plastic sitting on the refrigerator really pack?

Separation Anxiety
The family unit has survived my (gasp) return to work, despite my insane fears of hardship and anxiety last week. Meg has been home with the wee one, who has slept for most of the days, except for when he’s hungry or dirty, of course. I can’t wait for the times ahead when he’s awakeContinue reading “Separation Anxiety”
What’s in a name?
For being at 34 weeks into this pregnancy, finding possible names has only recently come to the forefront of our activities. First off, I should mention we are not finding out the sex of our child ahead of time, so that automatically means any list of names was immediately two lists – one for boysContinue reading “What’s in a name?”
