The biggest sister you’ve ever seen!

December 30th, 2008 · 9 Comments · bridget, family, spencer, Uncategorized

As I mentioned in the last post, we were able to bring Spencer home from the hospital a couple of days before Christmas. He had spent 9 total days in the NICU. During which time Bridget was unable to hold him, and only rarely got to see him through the glass window. It was hard […]

I just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!! We were able to bring our little boy home from the NICU on Tuesday evening. He is still on oxygen though, and will be at least through the end of the week. And that is the best Christmas present we could ask for… a baby […]

Baby Update

Things around here are a little different and crazy at the moment (as I suppose can be expected). I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Spencer, on the other hand, is still in the NICU.

So much for the numbers (or Early baby?)

December 10th, 2008 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, family, random, tina

My last post was all about numbers. Probably boring… Well, the first number, 29 may no longer mean anything. Ha. So much for trying to schedule a birthday. I had a doctors appointment yesterday, and it seems that this little boy may try to grace this earth even earlier than expected. It seems that I […]

Numbers

December 8th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, family, random

There have been a lot of numbers that have crossed my path recently. A lot of numbers to remember. A lot of numbers with funny, interesting, or significant stories behind them. Just a lot of numbers, I guess. It probably doesn’t help that we’ve been watching LOST again recently (trying to get refreshed before the […]

A bed with a “climber”

December 2nd, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family
