micropreemie mommy

hi everyone!

for those just clicking over to this site, i thank you for taking a look… i started this blog to keep my friends and family informed throughout a lot of the process (although we did use a carepages at the very beginning)

if we can help one other family out there going through even a little bit of what we’ve gone through and provide them with some hope that others have gone through it and they can do it too, then i’m serving my purpose.  we had no idea how strong we could be.  feel free to reach out to me at any time!

here’s the article!

so i got this email from bzzagent yesterday… if you don’t know what it is, you should check it out.  i’ve been participating since about 7 b.d. (that’s before diapers) so i’m always getting things from them… this one really intrigued me though.  check out the trailer for the new feature movie ‘babies’ below.  looks cute!

i don’t know when it happened… when did i get so old and fall out of touch with all of this new darn-fangled technology!  i have spent a good part of my free time (so, at least 15 minutes) trying to figure out how to get from wp.com to wp.org.  i suppose if i had a single clue what the silly instructional manual was talking about, i’d be in much better shape… i am equally acronym(ly) challenged and it’s just like trying to navigate your way through a foreign country without a translator.

the good news… my blog is so pretty!  the bad news… my blogroll took to the hills and i somehow managed to blow out *all* of my previous posts with video… awesome.  *so,* look for this week to be rife with “this page under construction” images and cursing emanating from my little shore town.

we, as a family, had a great weekend.  it was quiet and slow, with a great many hours spent in pajamas (don’t you just love that?)  both girls have decided (within hours of each other) to start wreaking havoc of the physical kind.  i have found molly munching on madeline’s trach tubes, with madeline drinking molly’s bottle (ps… the girl doesn’t eat by mouth… it was a huge surprise!)… i have found madeline with her alarms ringing from the monitors to find her having pulled off her vent tubing and “blow drying” her amazingly wavy hair with a big smile on her face.  i have found molly with her little teeny bum stuck under the coffee table (i have no idea how she got there… did i fall asleep?  bad, bad mommy)

molly had a big, big doctor’s appointment at the end of last week and we’re about to embark on a little bit of a journey to get her all better and growing strong.  i’m too tired to write about it now and will update tomorrow.  everything will be fine, but i’m still weary of this nicu walk (over 425 days later!) with its’ two steps forward and one step back.  it’s really, really getting on my nerves, even if it is making me stronger. 

alrighty, i must will myself to bed before i get sucked into some late night sunday nothingness…
