Newborn Pictures!

We got Jeremiah's newborn pictures back this week! Our friend, Tory (blue shoe photography) did an amazing job! His pictures were taken when he was 6 days old. Tory was so patient with us. I was still healing and pretty sore from the c-section and Jeremiah was on his own agenda. We had to stop to change him, feed him and put him back to sleep a few times. Anyway...here's some of my favorites!






 This was his first real smile and it warms my heart everytime I see it!

Selective Mutism and Trichotillomania

 Selective Mutism and Trichotillomania....two words I had never heard of but man, have they rocked our world. Selective Mutism should really be called Situational Mutism, as selective makes it seem like a child is being selective and choosing when and when not to talk. Situational means it really depends on the people, place and surroundings. S.M (Selective Mutism) is an anxiety disorder that renders a person unable to speak. For Elliana, the signs were always there. She'd talk freely to mom, dad, siblings and grandma. Everybody and every where else, she would not speak. We always thought she was just shy. In 4k, same thing. Hardly said a word to a soul, even children. Picture days were hell in a handbasket for her. Again, just thought she was shy and she'd come out of it. Kindergarten...that was difficult. She wouldn't speak at all but would communicate with head nods and point to pictures. Thought the changes with covid and having to wear a mask were part of it. Half way ...

Catching up on...Haley's pregnancy and birth

Little Miss Haley joined our family on January 23rd,2019. She was 8 pounds 4 oz (our smallest baby by an ounce) and nobody really knows how long she was. Her birth certificate says 22 inches but I'm not sure. Several different people measured her with several different lengths ha!  She was born via c-section. I went into it totally kosher, thinking that all would be fine, I've done this twice before, no big deal. Boy was I wrong!  My pregnancy with her was pretty uneventful. I had some morning sickness in the beginning and lost a few meals down the toilet. We also traveled to Florida when I was 5-6 weeks pregnant and then to Nebraska when I was 14 weeks pregnant. Those made for some long road trips because we had to stop every 2.5-3 hours so I could get out and walk. It sucked! I like to just get in the car and go and only stop for meals and potty breaks. Anyway, My heart did some funky things so I was put on a heart mediciation and even had to wear a heart monitor for a coupl...

To my baby boy on the night before his first day of 4k.

My sweet boy, The time has come. The time has come for me to watch you spread your wings, and fly. It is time for you to start school away from home. My heart...oh my heart...it is so worried, so very excited, and so very anxious for this. I write this, and the tears start to flow. We met your teachers tonight, they both seem very sweet. You were scared. You wouldn't walk into the building. You had to be coaxed and carried in by grandma. You were nervous. You stood by me, half of your body behind me. We put your backpack in your cubby, school supplies in the bin, and we stood. Both of us nervous, but trying not to show it. After a couple minutes, I took you by the hand, and walked you around the classroom. We talked to Ms.Amber a few times. After a half hour, you started to warm up. You played with some blocks, and pretended to blow over a tower. By the end, you didn't want to leave. And so tonight, I listen to you make cookies with Ellie and Dadda. I listen to your sweet v...
