Two weeks ago I told you about the changes we made in our own eating habits that lead to some big changes for James. We officially have six days left of our Whole30 challenge, but we’re taking it through the end of next week. We’re all feeling better, have more energy, and experiencing weight loss … Continue reading
Some of you already know that my mom, my husband, and I began a Whole30 challenge just over a week ago. Our goal is to kick some of our bad eating habits and get healthier in the process. We’re going strong on Day 11. I wouldn’t say it’s been easy, but it hasn’t been nearly as difficult as I imagined. … Continue reading
One year ago today James had surgery to place his g-tube. I remember the night before surgery, giving James a bath and crying. I fought back tears all day, but as I watched my sweet boy playing happily in the tub, I couldn’t hold them back any longer. He had no idea what was coming. … Continue reading
Been too long since I’ve taken the time to sit and write a little. And I can tell because as hectic as life has been, it feels ten times that hectic in my head. This time when I sit and think, process the day, it helps much more than I realized. It’s my only therapy, and wow, do … Continue reading
Sitting in a hospital room, watching James sleep, tracking his vitals on a monitor. An all too familiar situation. We’ve been here a few times before, but this time there’s one very big difference. This time he’s not just recovering, he’s getting ready for a new beginning. One that starts with a well-nourished, healthy little boy. That makes … Continue reading
We went to Baltimore with one goal in mind; a plan for James’ feeding and weight gain. When we left Baltimore that’s exactly what we had. It doesn’t get much better than asking for what you want, then getting what you ask for. It doesn’t happen often, so when it does it’s a moment worthy of … Continue reading
I think it’s good to put what you want out into the universe every once in awhile. For me it brings much-needed focus, gives me a little accountability, and it helps me define exactly what it is that I want. I believe when all that is going in your favor only good things can happen. When James was … Continue reading
This is for me. I wanted to remind myself of how far James has come with his feeding. He had a weight check this week and lost an ounce. Still choosing not to be stressed about it, but definitely disappointed. I feel like a good share of our day is spent trying to get James to eat or drink, which he’s done … Continue reading
When James saw his pediatrician last week for a monthly weight check we discovered he lost 100 grams. Nothing big and not concerning to his doctor, but a little disappointing to us as we work so hard each day getting him to eat. His doctor told me not to worry about his weight gain (or … Continue reading
