Saturday morning, at Mass, Margaret smiled for the first time. You can say it was gas all you want, but I know she smiled. It was a big as the day is long. She smiled right at her Papa and he was mighty pleased. I was too, even if I did catch the tail end of it. She also lifted her head up for us the other day. This...
Habemus Infantem
We have a little baby! Margaret Thérèse was born at 8:05 pm on Wednesday 10 January 2006. She weighed in at 7 pounds 5 ozs and measured 20 inches. (Just a little bitty one). She is quite beautiful. The birth was amazing. I had irregular, strong contractions all day long but nothing was really happening. The midwife...

His Own Room
Karol got his own room this past weekend. Yep, we moved his crib in to what we have called his room for nearly the past year. He seems to like it pretty well. He has learned how to open the door from his crib, letting me know he is awake. He has also mastered the light switch, quite humorous. He is getting bigger and...
Not so heavy a post this time
Joshua gave me the wonderful idea of writing down all the things that Karol does. Well not all the things but the cute things. So instead of pulling out his baby book that I have written all of 10 things in, I will use my blog! Today's addition: Karol snores. I went in to check on him a little while ago. I didn't...
Ode To Stem Cells
Okay people. Let's go over this again. No matter what YOU want to believe, life begins at CONCEPTION. Yes. When that little bitty egg is fertilized by that even littler sperm, a life is CREATED. And no, this isn't wacko Catholic-Girl coming at you, this is scientific proof. When an egg is fertilized, a seperate DNA...
We Hold These Truths
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of...
Ode to the married life
So it has been a while since I posted anything. What can I say? I have a little one and it is spring time! Karol is getting big, he is almost crawling on his hands and knees but he creeps like a champ. Right now he is sleeping like a champ! Do you ever wonder what babies dream about? So lately my friends have been...
Mumma Brain Syndrome
What is it exactly? Do I possible have it? Is there a cure? Well the symptoms are: Conversations that you had 3 minutes ago are GONE from your memory. You set your car keys down and forget where. Attention span of less then 2 minutes. Well let's see here, yesterday Joshua and I had a conversation about meeting for...
Feast of the Annunciation
Today is the Feast of the Annuciation, a Holy Day of Obligation most years but because it falls on a Saturday, in the US it isn't. How sad. Shouldn't we all want to go to Mass today to celebrate that Mary said Yes? Thank you Mary, thank you for saying Yes. I pray that someday all will come to see you as their Mother....
