Alex's 4 Month Angelday


Four months...wow. Feels like it may as well have been four years. I couldn't sleep last night. Just lonely I guess, so I watched tv, played around on the computer, thought about all the things I still needed to do before Sunday. Nothing particularly important. When I stopped to see what time it was, it was 1:30. My first thought was wow! Way too late! My next thought was, exactly 4 months ago from right this very moment, was the last time I saw him. Last time I said "good night", last time I kissed his sweet face. I tried at least. I remember like yesterday, he didn't want to give me a kiss. He hated when Adam took him up to bed and I didn't, I think he didn't give me a kiss because he didn't want to leave me. Look where we are now. Missing him and his sloppy kisses every hour of everyday.
Dear Allie,
I love you and miss you so much. I am just not the same without you, but so much better for having known you. I will live the rest of my life trying to make you proud. Happy Angelday baby.
Love you, Mommy

And the clumsy one gets stitches...

He is pretty proud of his bandaid and bracelet from the hospital!


Yes...our first set of stitches. Pretty amazing considering Nate is almost 4, and he is by far the clumsiest kid I know! Combine Nathan, a ball, running, and a door, and that is apparantly the formula for stitches! Jumping around now, almost as if nothing happened, so all is well! A constant bandaid for 7 days and a new whale from the hospital for being a brave boy, and we officially made it through our first injury. Nothing like stitches to get you ready for your birthday!

Peace. And stitches.

I Just Want to be Ok

Just give me back my pieces, just give them back to me.
Just give me back my pieces, and let me hold my broken parts.
I just want to be ok, be ok, be ok. I just want to be ok today.
I just want to feel today, feel today, feel today. I just want to feel something today.
I just want to know today, know today, know today. Know that maybe I will be ok.
An upbeat Ingrid Michaelson song. Who knew that it would hit so close to home. Hoping I will "be ok" soon.
Peace.
