Month 15, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, One of the greatest hardships I have experienced with having two children is how to give one hundred and ten percent of myself to each of you when you both do not feel well and want nothing more than for me to hold you. It pains me when either one of you are…

Month 39
Dear Olivia, Your fourth Christmas has come and gone and as sad as I am for the holidays to be over, there is also a sense of relief to finally get you back on some kind of schedule. There was a brief time when you would wake up and the first thing you would ask…

Month 11, Version 2.0
Dear Miles, Holy smokes, someone took their cute pills because you have become uber cute with your squishy cheeks and plump round little body. I fight the urge constantly to keep myself from biting you. I’m not sure why I have that reaction with cute babies but when I see a cutie – I feel…
