Giggles

I just feel the need to share some funnies tonight. It has been a rough week for my family, but even in the hard times there need to be some smiles.

My husband Jamey just makes me laugh. Without even trying. And when he laughs, I laugh harder. Those who know him know what I mean...just one of those people whose giggle is contagious.

Tonight as I was washing my face for bed, I looked at Jamey and asked "Have you ever wondered what it would be like to not be you but to interact with you for a day?" (I hope I'm not the only one who thinks about these types of things.)

He looks at me and without missing a beat says "I bet it would be the most interesting conversation of my day." Totally serious.

Of course, I can't help but just laugh so hard. He then went on to explain that most of it could be done with body language and facial expressions, since he would already know what he would be thinking. I of course told him that would violate the rules of the day since he couldn't be himself...he would have to be another person so he wouldn't know exactly what he was thinking. I mean, that would only make sense right?

Shortly after, he said something to me that was uncharacteristic of him...in fact, he sounded like me. And lo' and behold, he was trying to use my own thinking against me.

I said, "Hey, you can't do that, that is MY logic. You just can't use my own logic against me, that is also against the rules." (I should have a hard copy rule book somewhere so it doesn't look like I'm making them up as I go...because I am so not).

Jamey says, "Your logic is NOT copyrighted. So therefore I can use it."

Hmmm. Well played sir, well played.

Hope this gave you a giggle...it sure did me. ;-)

The Hardest Part

One year ago today I had my very last prenatal checkup. I saw both my maternal-fetal medicine specialist and my ob/gyn. My blood pressure was great. Gabriel was still there and moving. There was no indication that within 24 hours my liver would start to fail. I didn't know that April 13th, 2018 would be the last time I ever saw my baby on an ultrasound. It would be the last time I heard his heartbeat. I didn't know that the next morning a pain would begin. The next day I would meet my sweet little 2-month-old nephew. I wouldn't be able to eat because I just wasn't feeling well. I would stay up late with the pain, sipping water and waiting for it to pass. The next night would be spent in the ER, not knowing we would be meeting Gabriel face to face just 10 hours later. One year ago was the beginning of goodbye to this teeny boy. And I had no idea. Wednesday morning. It's time to get ready to leave. Except it's 3:00am. I keep waking up, worried tha...

A New Way to Celebrate

"But He could have saved my boys.  He could have . I'm so angry He didn't. I'm going to have to work through that with God, and I'm going to need time to do it. This isn't a quick fix, and there is no band-aid big enough to patch this damage. This cut is so deep it's going to take some major reconstructive surgery." I wrote that nearly two years ago. Two years. I wasn't wrong. There has been no quick fix. There was no band-aid. I'm still working through this with God. I still need time. I'll likely be working on this grief until it's my turn to leave this world. What I can  say is the waves have settled a bit; the intensity of the grief not quite so severe. I don't talk about them as much anymore. I no longer desire to go back to the hospital and cradle their cold bodies. We're done having children....even that  thought isn't as painful as it was just a year ago. Sam's birthday is April 30th. Gabriel...

On Not Writing.

Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash Kaila...why don't you write? I stopped writing, really writing , almost 3 years ago.  Sometimes I share my old posts. Sometimes I just read them on my own, so glad I put words to my feelings at the time.  Sometimes they remind me that the feelings haven't gone away. Last night as I put the kids to bed, Edward said, Mom, I know what I want for Christmas.  What's that, buddy? He paused for a moment. I want a wittle brudder. This isn't the first time he's asked. It likely won't be the last. We're honest with Mira and Edward that we can't have any more kids; and to try would risk my life. There's a bit of confusion just because of their ages, but they're getting to the point where it's really starting to settle in. Mom, can we go get a baby? Like, adopt?  We've walked this thought-road as well, weighing our options. We've weighed every. single. option.  We've considered trying again, rolling the dice...
