First off I’m super grateful my parents came to help out. They were beyond helpful. I really needed them during this time emotionally and physically and they went above and beyond. It brought me great joy to see the love Harvey had for my mom and vice versa. It also was an answered prayer because …
Silver linings with all of these health issues— I’ve lost almost 10 lbs since the start of it all. The colonoscopy prep shaved off another pound, but I don’t count it unless I don’t put it back on. The colonoscopy was both easier than I anticipated and worse. Better because the prep drug- golytely was …

Maverick and Beverly started preschool this past Monday. My freedom was amazing, though quickly spent with grocery shopping. Wednesday’s four hours without Bev and Mav were a lot more relaxing with a short trip to the gym for my ten minute water massage, a dentist visit, and lunch by myself at Panera. They love it …
I have to think back to my week, because it feels like Janustember 1032th. Andy started Trauma this past week. He hasn’t had a break since he started so take this schedule with a grain of salt: 6 days a week, 13 hr night shifts. Yup. He got a couple of hours of sleep the …

We were able to virtually bless Harvey today with friends and family watching. We were able to get away one last time before school starts. We went to the local lake for one last beach day. We were able to go with our neighbors and we took a friend’s twins with us. It was nice …
This week we got a taste of normalcy. Well, more of what normalcy could be. Tuesday, I got a text from my neighbor about going to the beach with them the next day. I’m not a super sporadic person, but it just so happened that Andy had that day off and so we said, sure …
We returned home from Myrtle beach last Friday, but it’s taken the whole week to recover, unpack, and get back into routines. I’m still pretty tired, but that could be due to Andy’s night shift schedule. It is always hard for me to go to bed on time when he’s on nights. Getting the kids …
As you can imagine, having a baby makes things a little chaotic and normal routines and tasks get pushed to the side. Having a baby in the middle of a pandemic makes it that much more challenging. We were blessed to be able to have my mom and dad come visit and help us during …
