I've considered doing away with it since few people still read and since I am so unfaithful, but I just cannot part with it, not yet anyways. I get too much joy from re-visiting old posts and the details of our life's past to call it quits. Plus, my goal in starting it was to document our lives, my thoughts, our memories and taking life slower. I was reminded of that as I read my very first post (which will be exactly two years ago in two days).
On this almost-blogiversary, I want to pull myself back to this place and hold myself accountable to something that I love, my life. I want to share our highs and lows. Even if only for me to re-visit in the future.
The month of January has been one of many emotions for me. Shortly after the holidays, our Emery Claire was put in the hospital with a low fever. It was a hard time for me even after we realized that Emery's problem was easily treatable. The pediatric ward is not a fun place to visit. It lacks the excitement and charm (if you can call it that) of the labor and delivery floor. Seeing many children who would stay longer than our 48-hour visit broke my heart. So many mothers and fathers worry about far more than an ear infection or reflux.
But today, this cute girl is doing so well. After a short hospital stay, a sonogram and testing, we found out that she has urinary reflux. It is a fairly common problem that she takes a daily antibiotic to combat.
At six weeks, Emery is sleeping 7 hours at night, happy most all the time, loves her swing and laying on the floor and adjusting to her antibiotic. Life with three is full and fun!

I'm glad you're keeping this thing up! I'm praying for you and your Emery Claire! She's such a cutie!!
Glad she is doing well, she is so cute!

I love to read your blog! You have a beautiful family and so glad Emery is doing well.:)

Hi Ashley, Just so you know, I love your blog :) I am not good at checking facebook, so it helps me stay connected with your family! I am so sorry to hear about your baby girl being in the hospital. I cannot imagine the whirlwind that was. As we have just welcomed our second baby into the world and I start getting overwhelmed and emotional, I like thinking about mamas like you who are doing such a great job with their growing families. You are always such an encouragement...Love you.
Hey Ashley!! Urinary Reflux is exactly what Zoe had, which I'm sure Sarah told you. The biggest bummer is the daily medication. It's a pain to think about your daughter going through it, but it's painless to her! We realized while going through this that there are a lot worse conditions she could have. But it still doesn't appease your heart when you think about having to give your baby meds each day. If you have any questions, I would love to tell you what we learned!
