The last few days have been busy in the best kind of way. On Sunday, we took the Little Guy to see a soccer game. We saw the KU women’s soccer team host the University of Nebraska-Omaha. My husband went to school at UNO and worked as both a student worker and professional sports information … Continue reading

No more wisdom teeth
My wisdom teeth were removed without incident last Friday. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. On the advice of my best friend, I took one of the prescribed Hydrocodone twice each of the first two days, and I took only one the next two days. It wasn’t constantly painful and didn’t swell too … Continue reading
Wisdom (teeth)
My wisdom teeth are coming out on Friday. Yes, I am a medical freak of nature. I am 32 years old and my wisdom teeth are still impacted. The three of them that exist are anyway. So, at 8 a.m. Friday I will have them surgically extracted. I met with the oral surgeon recently about … Continue reading
One year of Separated at Birth
My first post was one year ago. The next milestone will be my one-year surgery anniversary. It’s hard to believe, and exciting in many ways. This year has been full of ups and downs, highs and lows. But mostly it has been a year of healing. I have met some amazing moms because of this … Continue reading
You’re not alone
We all deserve the opportunity to be the mommy we want to be. If you are hurting, don’t suffer in silence. And remember: You are not alone. While I cannot offer medical advice, I hope my family’s experience can give you comfort and help you find the information you need. Continue reading
What’s next?
A few random thoughts to share today: — My guys were home sick today. They both have bad coughs and didn’t sleep well so they hung out at home in their pjs today and rested. I’m not coughing and my throat doesn’t hurt so I’ll just hope it stays that way. Hopefully they will both … Continue reading
A good day with the stroller
The three of us are pretty lucky. Even though it rained some and my husband had to work on Saturday night, we had a darn good weekend. Hopefully, some of it will stick with me for awhile. On Saturday, when the Little Guy and I were home on our own. We read a ton of … Continue reading
Centered
A very cool thing happened in yoga practice today. A student who is studying physical therapy and has worked with our teacher often was able to attend. The summer group has been very small and today’s class was chattier than usual. The teacher, Mimi, asked the physical therapist, Caroline, to name the major muscles we … Continue reading
A royal MESS!
I was busy at work today, which was an excellent distraction from some weather-related pain and a major emotional sting. This afternoon — along with a whole lot of the rest of the world — I saw the pictures of Prince William, Kate and the new baby. Only my reaction was different than most. I … Continue reading
Happy half-birthday, Son
My son is 18 months old! I will forever know the birthday of the Prince of Cambridge because my little guy celebrated his half-birthday at the same time. We got to the birth center before the sun came up that morning, just like Kate and Will. Our little guy took his first breath at 4:58 … Continue reading
