WELCOME TO MY "OTHER" BLOG!

If you are coming from Building Heavenly Bridges (BHB), WELCOME and if you are finding me for the first time and looking for support after a loss, then please check me out at my grief/loss blog!



This blog is a series of anecdotes from our life after losing our first child, a stillborn daughter, then going on to birth the two other lights of our lives!

Bear is 6: serious, organized, my cruise director and my time keeper.

The Comedian is 4: She is pure comedy always doing something unintentionaly funny that I attempt to put into words.

Enjoy our stories, conversations, and delights as we embrace the lives of our second and third daughters without ever negating our first.

For the Love of a Baby (PICTURE OF NEWBORN POSTED)

My Comedian loves babies. I mean - she Love, LoVeS, LOVES babies.


The constant chatter, the incessent need to discuss poopy diapers, the blow-by-blow of what babies do, how they do it, why they need mama's milk (from boooobies, of course) flow from her with ease; all with a babydoll perched on her hip, or shoulder as she gently shushes it and pats it on the back.
Since the day my brother and sister-in-law announced their pregnancy Comedian as been asking "When is Auntie's baby coming out of she's belly?" The tone of the questions became more intense, corresponding - it seemed - with the girth of Auntie's belly. Lately, she was desprately whining at us putting elongated silences between each word to emphasize how serious it was. "When...Is...Auntie's....Baby...Coming...Out....Of...She's....BELLY?"
Needless to say, I was more-than-mildly shocked today at her hesitancy to greet her new cousin.

Elijah Daniel (held by big brother) finally arrived late last night after an unexpectedly long and difficult labor.

And this was as close as my baby-lovin', pretend diaper changin', bottle feedin', back-pattin', shoulder-shushin' Comedian would get.

Apparently, the real thing isn't exactly what she pictured in her head!


A family - complete, I'm told. Congratulations on your baby boy.

Funny how kids react to babies.

Congrats on your nephew!

Maybe Comedian sensed that a real baby wasn't quite all play-time fun. Interesting. I'm sure she'll warm up to him soon enough.

Congratulations to the new parents...and Congrats to you guys for your new nephew!

Hey Comedian...what's up? Maybe she had it all predicted with the baby doll, and the real one overwhelmed her a bit?

Happy ICLW!

Once again, congratulations to your whole family on the birth of a baby boy cousin/son.

How sweet that the Comedian was a bit nervous to meet the baby. I love it. I bet as he gets older, she'll momma him perfectly.

Congrats on the new addition! I think for a lot of kids, the reality of a new baby isn't as fun as what they think it will be:-)

Congrats on the addition to your family!

Sometimes I think that baby dolls give kids a false sense of what babies are all about. Even the dolls that cry, or pee, or eat, don't do them all at once.

What a cute baby! Kids never react the way we expect the to--I think it is to keep us on our toes!
