Where's my head?

Just a sample of where my head is at these days... I'm standing in line to return a movie at the Redbox kiosk. I get to the machine to insert my rental only to find out that I am putting an empty case into the box. 
Yes, I left home to return a movie and left the movie in the DVD machine.... really! To make things worse I turn around and storm off with the empty case in my hand and everyone is looking at me like I am crazy... including the pregnant woman behind me. I am so frustrated with myself. 

On a lighter note, I spend the day with my mom having lunch at Marlow's Tavern, walking around the Avenue and seeing the movie, Silver Linings Playbook. I didn't know much about the movie but saw that it had received eight Oscar nom's so I figured it was worth a watch. 
This movie really resonated with me as both of the main characters are going through their own life complications, which are no way related to mine but I could feel for them. Pat, played by Bradley Cooper is a believer in silver linings; his mantra is "excelsior," the Latin word for "ever upward." As he struggles to stay balanced, we cheer him on with a firm belief that he can step off the emotional rollercoaster he is on and put things right. This is a great "feel good" movie with a great ending. I know that i'll be cheering for it on Oscar night.

Due Date

Welcome to 2013.....2013, the year we were so excited to become parents, have a family and welcome our daughter Madison into the world. When you first find out your "due date" the day is forever engraved in your mind, your body, and your soul. You tell everyone the date and circle every calendar that you own. You count down the weeks until your due date and say it countless times as it's usually the first thing someone asks you when they find out that you're pregnant.  For us January 10, 2013 is that date. There is no guarantee that she would have actually been born on this exact date, but as this date gets closer I can't stop wondering when her actual date of arrival would have been.  January 10th, it seemed like a lifetime away when I saw my first positive pregnancy test on May 4th 2012. I have to say that the 32 and 1/2 weeks that I was pregnant flew by very quickly.... and here we are now into January and I feel this empty feeling inside as I...

My Forever Child

I received my beautiful custom charm necklace in the mail today from My Forever Child .  My necklace was made with Madison's actual footprints which were laser etched from the scan below. I am so thrilled with the way it turned out. This brought a smile to my day! Madison's Footprints I smile every time I look at the second toe on the right foot... it is exactly like Mikes! This beautiful poem was also included with the charm...

Mason's Birth Story

March 13, 2014: Even though we knew that I was going in at 5:00 am the next morning for a scheduled c-section, the day couldn't come fast enough. It had been a long nine months and we could not wait to meet our baby boy. The night before the big day, Mike and I ate an early dinner at Outback Steakhouse since we knew it was going to be the last good "going out to dinner" we would have in a few days, or possibly weeks. We went home, packed for the hospital, loaded the car and tried to relax. We got a few hours of sleep the night before, maybe 2-3 to be exact but we were running on adrenaline at that point. March 14, 2014, 3:30 am: The morning the alarms rang loud and clear! Time to go. We hopped in the car and drove straight to Northside Hospital, check in was a breeze and before we knew it I was in a hospital gown getting prepped for surgery.  The time flew by, right up until 7:00am when it was time for the epidural. After a very long hour of testing for numbness it was ...
