Don't worry it's totally normal...I think.





Parenthood is something else. The odd things I have begun to do are probably typical, at least I tell myself that! Here are some new things that I find happening every-so-often. If you can relate, wonderful, that means we can pretend this stuff is normal together!
1. Mental high-fives take place whenever I pick a satisfyingly big booger from my child's nose.
2. If ever there is a urinary attack mid diaper change,  I have no problem using my hand to direct the flow downward. If successful, another mental high-five is granted. 
3. I regularly catch myself pretend-eating my baby and saying, "I am going to eat you!"...I also occasionally nibble on his earlobes.
4. There is a scale for spit-up, best being, basically drool and worst being, basically goat cheese. This scale is used to determine urgency and necessity of finding a spit-up rag. 
5. Have you pealed the remnants of a sunburn? Kinda fun, right? Ever heard of cradle cap? A sunburn pickers heaven! Its my newest time sucker since discovering Instagram.
6. While nursing, I often realize that for the past 5-10 minutes I have been repeatedly kissing my baby's fingers, completely zoned out. 
7. The most unseen part of my baby is his armpits. I checked them out the other day...weird. 
8. Now that my baby has gotten adorable fat rolls, I assimilate changing a poopy diaper to a game of hide-and-seek. 
9. Confession: I have walked away from a blowout so that my husband would be the "first" to discover it.
10. If an article of clothing has not been saturated in either the fluids from the north or south locations of my child, it shall continue to be worn regardless of the duration of time. Clean until proven dirty!

No Children at Church?

Cody and I have been volunteering at Falls City Christian Church  for a couple months now, where we take turns each month, teaching a lesson to the kiddos. Not to brag, but we have discovered the keys to a successful lesson: games and candy. This month, I chose to stray from the typical 'bible story' theme and go over how to pray in general. Praying is such a beautiful, powerful and important aspect of our relationship with God. I mean come on, we stinkin' get free 24 hr access to talk to the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. This trumps having Theo James's personal number on my speed dial, which I do; in my dreams. Come Sunday, I was giddy with excitement to teach my lesson! My growing anticipation was stunted however when alas, no children attended church that morning. Bummer eh? Not anymore! because luckily, I have this nifty little blog. So here it is; a 'would-have-been-epic' lesson on prayer! Open your hand and take a look, there should be fiv...

A Belated Update

February 23, 2018 Dear friends and family,  Hello to you! We write this from the Salem NICU. Here we sit and watch the sky lighten and darken in a morphed cycle of hours that have all blended together. Cody and I have received your text messages and read your Facebook comments. Please accept our  apologies for the lack of information or response. Here is an update for all of you who have been wondering about our current situation. Where to start? We found out we were expecting, approximately three days after Cody cancelled his vasectomy and relented to go for “one more baby”. At 15 weeks I measured what would be a normal 20 week size. Two heart beats would clear up that confusion. Surprise! Cody replaced his hesitations about having three children with extreme excitement to have four. I however, was slightly terrified. They say if you can manage three kids that you can manage any number....I guess we’ll find out!  Loe and behold, our twin gir...
