Wednesday would have been my big brother’s 35th birthday. Our baby, Ervin, was born six weeks ago Thursday, which means that Luke died six weeks ago Friday.Ervin was born on March 24. It was a scheduled c-section, so we knew the date for a couple of months, and I had […]
Ervin turned one month old yesterday. WHAT?! How did a month fly by without me noticing? Yes, the days have been looonnng, but the month? SHORT.Since yes, this is *most likely* the last baby, I want to remember EVERYTHING. But I’m sleep-deprived (has anybody noticed? yeah, a little bit?). I […]

When I gave birth to big sisters Ivy and Essie, I stole my friend Stacy’s plan of action for the birth announcements. She had taken a picture of her second baby while they were still in the hospital, made the announcements on her laptop, and ordered them to be picked […]
So, we got home from the hospital with our fourth baby, Ervin, on Sunday (five days ago?). With my brother’s memorial service on Wednesday, T. didn’t go back to work until Thursday (two days ago). But, not only did he have to go back to work, but he had to […]
