I have been trying to post for a little over two weeks now... words escape me.  I just know in the end that this life, this one life, is so crazy, beautiful...  For all the hurt it entails, love is it's lining and nothing is stronger than love.
I am tired, beat, worn down.  I will be ok, I always am, but for now I don't have it in me to put words to keyboard.  Thank you for the emails, we are ok.  It won't be a long one tonight, but as always I promise pics and a real, funny "Jenn" update soon.
It is when I am on bended knee that somehow life manages to lift me up when I don't think I can handle anything more.  I trust that is around the corner....
So for now I am going to go across the house and down the hall to get my smurf of a baby boy out of his crib and bring him to my bed and spoon the living hell out of him.  Oh if he has taught me nothing, it is to eat it up.  Eat up this life people. The good, the bad, the ugly and the crazy, beautiful.

Goodnight moon,
J

Happy One Month Birthday Baby Boy

Today our son turns one month old!  There were days when I was still pregnant with him that we were not sure he would be alive to see this day. God, has blessed us. He is here. He is perfect. He is fighting the biggest fight of his life.  Just as sure as the H (home) word was mentioned to us as a possibility in a couple of weeks yesterday, I in turn, got the phone call at 2 a.m. this morning that his heart is struggling.  His heart is working so hard to keep going. It is a delicate balance. One day everything looks picture perfect and hours later it all changes.  I am working on not looking to far down the road, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one prayer at a time. Today our son turns one month old and the alternative makes me realize that I/we can do this. Even though there will be many tears through out this, many angry days, sad ones and joyful ones. I do believe that God has a plan for us and for our son and as we wait to learn what that plan is, I am finding a patience I ha

Stream Of Consciousness

I honestly didn’t realize until today why I have been the weepy mess that I have been these last few weeks. I thought I was tired.  I thought well you have five kids and lots to remember. I am prone to anxiety. I worry to much which is definitely nothing new.  I attributed the constant crying to all things other than the obvious, which after ten years one would think I would have down by now.   It’s February.   It is heart month and I don’t mean cupid.  It is real heart month.   The hearts who are sick, broken, healing, or in heaven… We honor, celebrate, recognize and weep over all things Congenital Heart Defects.  I used to be able to post a lot more about it.  I used to write a lot more about it, but I have found as time goes on that well… I don’t have a ton of time for it, but also I think I’ve been avoiding it as well… because after 10 years… words don't come to me like they used to…there is just no time line and I haven’t been able to sit down to write lik
