As of this morning, I am down 21.5 pounds. I am sure when I see the doctor this evening, however, I’ll get a more “official” weight. I am going by what I weighed the morning I left for surgery on our bathroom scale. I may need a new one soon, because ours changes how much…

I’m doing my best to take it fairly easy, while still walking around a little each day. I’ve stuck mostly close to home, but we were invited to a pool party today at the home of Barry Wassinger and his partner, Joe. Barry is from the support group I joined, and has been very successful…

Day 1 will forever be known as “The Day Mommy had her nervous breakdown”. We are scheduled to leave IMMEDIATELY following Brighid’s final – final exam, which ended at 9:45 AM on Thursday.

We saw Dr. Nina today for Gracie’s 15 month check up. I can’t believe she is 15 months old already! She is 21 pounds, 13 ounces, which put her between the 25th and 50th percentile. She is also at the same percentile with height – 30 inches. Her head circumference, which used to measure WAY…
