i have to get my feet wet journaling again. it is so easy to get out of the habit- but someday if i forget alot of my life- i want to read about it. (a little crazy?) liam is such a big boy now- about twelve pounds at 6 weeks! his mommy is doing an unbelievable job! it is so hard for her - she has post-t-s d. we have the moniter at night, during the day he is in her arms alot, or boppy, or swing- but all of us are learning how to zoom in on his breathing . when he turns 1 year- his parents will have the biggest party! if you want to see a big 1 year birthday party- just see a family that lost a child to sids, celebrate a future childs first birthday!!! my mother just left today. one more family to come and see the new baby- we will enjoy their visit- but when all the "visiting from other states" settles down- that will be nice too! anyways it was a wonderful time with my mom getting to know liam for the first time! also- one thing that i so much missed with leify- i never had him smile at me. one day last week a couple days went by and i did not get a chance to hold liam- because i wanted my mom to soak it up. then one time he would not settle down with my mom, i asked if i could try- my mother put him in my arms- the second liam realized it was me i got the biggest smile- that went on for like a minute! can life get any better?
Congrats on your grand baby .... no life can not get any better than a grand child...enjoy.
Journaling is fun and a way to put your thoughts on paper . Each year for the last 30 years on Jan. 1 I get a new journal put the year on it and each day write down my thoughts . I also reserve a page or two for important events like births, weddings, deaths, etc . So I have a written record of every thing that has happened in my life. I have quite a box of journals!!! I will leave them for my daughter to have after I am gone. Also fun now to read the old journals and see how I have changed over the years . Really amazing to read what we thought them and how we have grown !!!
take care and God bless,
janette :-)

i with u on journaling. writing down r thoughts helps us 2 b able 2 talk about them & it's all a healing process. may God send forth His heavenly angels 2 protect liam & your family & 2 take away the fears n your precious lifes. there is nothing like the inocent smile of r baby grandchild. Dr.'s r quick 2 diagnose infant deaths as SIDS. Zaiden was & autopsie proved accute pnemonia. that was why he could not respond 2 cpr. may liam bring healing 2 u, your daugther, & family. hugs & lol, bess
