I don't have all that much to report today, but I still want to post something. This morning was tough. For some reason, the tears just started flowing and didn't seem to want to stop. I was just sad - sad that Andrew wasn't here with me watching Kevin head off to work and sad that he wouldn't be here with me when Kevin got home from work. Crying is good for me though, so I actually embrace … [Read more...]

I'm still … [Read more...]

I feel so blessed that we were able to see what he looked like. During those final days of my pregnancy, that's what I anticipated most - seeing what our little man would look like! :-) I will always treasure the … [Read more...]
