Want to see my first piece ever? How cute is it that I found a heart? It was love at first sight. Do you know about sea glass? People look at me sideways when I tell them I collect it in little jars all around my house. Sea glass is…

Pregnancy for me is not a beautiful, ripe, created by God for the wonder of the earth situation. For me it looks something like this: four of these a day {pumped into my body like this} + central line dressing kit {to be changed by an in-home nurse, or my husband. weekly} + and lots and lots and lots of this It’s literally survival-of-the-fittest, and if mother nature had her way, I would be long gone by now.

This has now become a special song that we associate with our son. In fact, I even had Mike paint an octopus’s garden on my cast that I have as I’m recovering from foot surgery. I ran into a little trouble in the beginning however. I couldn’t quite remember all the lyrics to the…
