Crazy Sunday For My Sports Teams!

When the Lions tried to get a first down instead of punting and failed I thought the game was over. The defense held then blocked the field goal attempt. The Lions took over and went down the field. They could have scored a touchdown but opted to run the clock down with one second to go in the game.... Sign in to see full entry.

Slow Going For My Daughter!

We keep making plans to watch the games of our favorite teams but she has been having to cancel due to fatigue. I tell it's fine and she just needs to worry about getting well and getting the breastfeeding done. She is still having a time getting Jasmine to latch. She is pumping eight times a day....

Rainy Day In The Treasure Valley!

Living in a desert we rarely see rain in the summer. About the second month of autumn begins the rainy season. It will probably go through the end of December. Some years it gets colder and it will snow but rarely stays on the ground. That's why I tolerate the heat to have a winter with very little... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes Saving A Few Cents Isn't Worth The Hassle!

I had quite a few errands to do this morning. An Amazon order came in early. I opened the box only to discover it looked like I got someone else's return. The box lid was torn. The whisk wasn't in a plastic bag like the others. It wasn't a decent set so I could understand why it was returned. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Frustration With Losing A Blog Update.

I was trying to add a picture to post. It was so frustrating because the prompt said the page couldn't be found. I deleted all similar pictures from my gallery and took a new one and cropped it. Finally it was accepted. I did it in the wrong order but I just didn't think about it. As it goes, we... Sign in to see full entry.

Animals Can Be Very Protective!

It's no secret that Jessica loves animals. She's been that way forever. Loving animals does come with heartache due to short life spand compared to humans. She has lost a lot of them over the years. The first heartbreak was the family dog Pinocchio. Unfortunately times change. He had the run of the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Adjustment Continues!

Needless to say Jessica is very happy to be home. I can't remember how it came about but she got a sample of formula. At the time she was ready to donate it because she was firmly dedicated to breastfeeding. I told her it might be good idea to hang on to it. So many things get planned in the mind...

Jasmine and Mom Are Scheduled To Come Home Today.

Actually they were slated to be released yesterday but Jessica had a bad day with pain and breastfeeding. That prompted them to stay another day to figure out the pain medication and have more time with the lactation nurse. It has been incredible the amount of time I've spent on the phone with...

What A Darling Baby!

I finally got to the hospital at 4:00 p.m. I brought club sandwiches from our favorite café. Jessica adhered to a strict diet during her pregnancy by eating the foods that would best serve Jasmine and her own body. Enter cold cuts on the Club! She had been wanting some for many months. Lol Needless... Sign in to see full entry.

From Agony To Ecstacy To Delivery! Meet Jasmine!

After the Foley Balloon was removed Jessica had only dilated 4 centimeters. At 4:25 they broke her water. The contractions were extremely strong. At 10:30 p.m. she consented to pain killer via IV. After 30 minutes it made no difference. It had been 7 hours since her waterbwas broken and still at 4... Sign in to see full entry.
