Allergies and Sick
So, not only does Johnathan have a cold again, but there’s a chance that he’s allergic to the virus that caused it too. He woke up with a rash from head to toe today and, unless we can find something new that he ate, it’s the most likely case.
Funny thing is I’m not even surprised anymore.
Thanksgiving
Mmm… tasty food. Homemade beer. The best company the world has to offer. What more can you ask for?
Halloween Irony
So Johnathan’s first treat is a Reese’s Peanut Butter cup… We didn’t want to freak out and scare our neighbor, but it went from his bucket into Mom’s purse before we left the driveway.
The poor kid lost half of what he got, but we replaced it with safe stuff when we got home with no complaints. It’s fun to be in a neighborhood where the families roam again.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
“On October 15, at 7:00 pm in all time zones, families around the United States will light candles in memory all of the precious babies that have been lost during pregnancy or in infancy. Too many families grieve in silence, sometimes never coming to terms with their loss.
If you or someone you know has suffered a miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss due to SIDS, prematurity or other cause, we hope you will join us in this national tribute to create awareness of these tragic infant deaths and provide support to those that are suffering. “
Jeremy’s Due Date
Jeremy’s due date is today. It hurts more than I thought it would. I always thought I would deliver early after having Johnathan at 38 weeks, so I didn’t think I would feel sentimental about this date at all. But I am pretty sore. I finished this painting I’ve been working on, to express and help work out the duality of the living baby inside me, and the spirit of the one that left too soon.
Ben is dealing with it in his own way, and is getting pretty good at playing that Eric Clapton song. I just hope that his blisters finish healing soon.
