It’s been a while since I’ve posted and that’s due to a lot of things…1) I need to be in the mood to write 2) I’ve been super busy and 3) while I could whip up a blog post, if I’m not “feeling it” or feeling in the mood to let my words flow without […]

The other day, someone found my blog whose child also has a metabolic disorder.  She linked to her blog and I thought…hmmm, do I want to read what their child has? I skimmed the blog titles and read a few, looked at a few pictures, all seemed normal, even though the child had a liver […]

Out of the Mouth, the Heart Speaks. I’ve always loved that verse, especially that particular part; out of the mouth, the heart speaks. Below are the verses in context.

Seriously so proud of my little girl. Just something I’d like to share, Reagan Elle means “noble girl” and she’s already starting to live up to the meaning of her name.  I don’t know what God has in store for her or for us, but a friend of mine at church recently said to me: […]

Reagan is coming up on 12 weeks and I feel like Rob and I have come SO far since she’s arrived.  We’ve grooved in to a pretty great routine with bottle making, feedings and making sure our dog Bauer still gets tons of love.  Reagan is eating well (now at 30oz every single day).  Her […]

April 13, 2013 was the first time Rob and I have been able to go church since Reagan was born.  Man, it was amazing to go and see our friends and sing and worship and just be in the place we have called our church home for the past four years or so.  Sure we […]

Funny things happen in the middle of the night.

This post is going to be all over the place, but I have a lot to get out and this is my place to share my feelings and update everyone who is following Reagan’s story.  So, here we go. April 2, 2013 I spoke with Reagan’s dietician…after an increase in her protein intake b/c of […]
