Rob and I came home with Reagan on Saturday after being in the hospital for 12 days. We needed those 12 days in the hospital and I can honestly say the past two weeks have been the hardest weeks of my entire life. The marriage vows “for better or for worse” are definitely being tested right […]

It’s so hard to update Reagan’s status within a timely manner b/c so many things happen on a daily basis and we have to concentrate on absorbing the info and processing it…we’ve barely been able to discuss how all of this will look once we get home. So please forgive the re-cap from earlier in […]

Rob and I take about 3-4 walks a day with Reagan around the big pond at the Arnold/Winnie Palmer hospital complex. During the last hospital stay I remember telling Rob, “It would stink to be one of those families who walks around this pond as the outing of the day…I don’t want to be that […]

The other day I decided to look at Reagan’s adoption video…with her birthday coming up, I think I was getting sentimental about the day she was born and wanted to relive those first few moments. I was shocked that in just a year, almost 20,000 people have viewed it. Before the adoption video, I did […]

As Reagan’s first birthday approaches, I have so much to reflect on over this past year. Looking back, I don’t know how we did it. She has never been sick, even though I was sick for about a month, and Rob somehow had a fever for a brief moment. We’ve figured out her food, even […]

Last year at this time, it was my office’s annual awards meeting. Our office votes on things like best negotiator, most inspirational, etc. And then my broker David rattles off the top 25 agents in the office (we have about 90). If you’re like me, you LOVE awards…my office awards are all proudly framed and […]

In October, I decided that during the month of November I would do a 30-day fast from social media. I felt that it was important for me to put the phone down, close the constantly open Facebook tab on my laptop and just let my mind breath from all that is social media. After a […]

Rob and I were so excited for Reagan’s first Thanksgiving…earlier in the week, our team at Nemours decided we could try to give her a few “thanksgiving” items. As in, real foods, not baby food, so we were so excited to measure out sweet potatoes from the casserole and even have her taste a little […]

Brace yourselves everyone…I’m about to get REAL in today’s blog post…I’m not holding back, it’s my blog and I can say what I want, which is probably the last great thing remaining about this country since health care is going down the tubes. Anyway, this is my story on how Obamacare affects my family and […]

I am sitting here with hot tears just rolling down my face.  Reagan started foods…and it is really exciting. But my baby eating foods is not like your baby eating foods. Reagan’s dietician Sandy gave us menus to work with as Reagan starts food…we have a certain amount of Lysine Reagan can have a day. During […]
