3 years ago today I was on my way to a baby shower. 3 years ago today my mom, my niece, and myself got lost going to said baby shower and made a call to my ex sister in law to get directions but her new boyfriend answered. 3 years ago today after finally arriving at the shower the ex called my sister in law and she started crying hysterically.
3 years ago today I lost my nephew to child abuse.
I have a few ideas about what happened but I'll never know the truth.
She went to jail for 2 and a half years getting out last September. He will be in jail for the next 20 years or so. Tarah lives with my mom and Vincent James Hill is with the angels.
I didn't get to see him one last rime. My brother told me it would haunt me if I did. I guess its a good thing-- I remember him as he was not after everything.
There were signs. There are always signs but they are so easily explained as normal kid behavior.
I wish I could go back and save him. I wish I would have done more. I wish he could be here today.
I am thankful we didn't lose the both of them. We at least got to keep Tarah. And she is a real princess and so special.
I thank God she's still here but I still miss him.
And this post breaks my heart enough. So cherish your little ones.

I'm Back! Finally!
Sorry it's been so long! That's what I get for creating a blog 37 weeks into my pregnancy. Having a newborn and trying to blog does not work, let me tell you. And although shes not even a new born anymore (3 months tomorrow!) I just could not spare the little time I have free to do blog, but now I can!
The last time I wrote anything I was 39 weeks pregnant. Well, I am definitely not pregnant anymore.
Let me catch you up.
I had a 9 hour labor. Which, apparently, is very short for a first time mom. To tell you the truth I wasn't even sure I was in labor until about 11am and I had Em at 2:45pm. So as labors go pretty easy. It was so easy in fact I didn't even have an epidural.
All would have been great but Em got sick. I suspect from something at the hospital because they never told us what it was. But whatever it was it made her really sick. She wouldn't eat. She had to be with oxygen and in a phototherapy incubator and fed with an iv. She had to have antibiotics.
After 5 days they finally let us take her home. We had to continue her antibiotics though.
But after that she's been exceptionally good. Just one fever after her 2month vaccines. Otherwise nothing, no sign she was ever sick at all.
At first she ate every hour and a half but now she's eating every 2 and a half hours except at night. On good nights she's asleep at 9:30 wakes up between 2 and 3 then again between 7 and 8.
Bad nights... well anything other than that : )
But I think we've been lucky in the baby department. She didn't have colic but she did have a witching hour for awhile. I think it was really just her reaction to the dairy in my diet.
Now that's she's 3 months though I do have some dairy and it doesn't seem to bother her.
My kitty doesn't seem to like her much but she tolerates her. She does seem to be less fond of me though.
Hopefully that will pass now that I have more free time and am not constantly feeding Miss Em.
So that's what's happened since my last post. I'm going to try to get back in the routine of blogging at least once a week.
So I'll be back next week. Until then here are so pictures of the little princess
