Start with the first part. I only want to kiss Brock. We packed our bags, and began the journey home. I was anxious. Incredibly nervous. It had only been a few weeks, but I was going home to Brock with a willingness in my heart that I hadn’t had before. I was so scared that I would see him,… Read More
History of Me: Part Twenty
The first one. There were lots more “firsts” with Ronan while I was pregnant with Ruby. His first cold, and our first week without Brock home.

Since around 27 weeks, I have been modifying my activity to be sure I didn’t cause contractions. I haven’t picked up my son, done laundry, haven’t… Read More
