defining the circles that make me whole
I remember thinking, “So this is what blinding pain feels like.”Posted by Alli on May 6, 2009
I’m back in Chattanooga now, having flown in from Dallas yesterday afternoon. As soon as we got home I nursed Tebow, chatted with Damon, and then changed Tebow’s diaper. I stood up to go put Tebow in his seat and tripped over my feet, falling forward. I contorted by body to protect Tebow and ended [...]
non-drowsy my footPosted by Alli on April 26, 2009
I have been exhausted all day, and Tebow is definitely not to blame! When I was up at 2:30 last night/ early this morning, I felt this painful lump in my neck. I’ve been having problems with allergies (who hasn’t?)- mainly itchy throat and stuffy nose- so I figured it was related. Since I was [...]
Alli, meet wall. Wall, meet AlliPosted by Alli on March 3, 2009
I hit a wall today, the wall of exhaustion. It wasn’t pretty, and I did manage to sneak in a short nap this afternoon. At one point I am pretty sure the words leaving my mouth were not the words I was trying to say. Fortunately I was speaking to a four year old who [...]
Blogging Tapas :: Postpartum EditionPosted by Alli on February 25, 2009
~I’m a bit sleep deprived. While my mom was here she was talking to me and suddenly I was waking up. The other night, I fell asleep at my laptop. In the middle of a blog post. ~A week ago I gave birth to my second son. I have phantom feelings of still being pregnant, [...]
Last nightPosted by Alli on February 19, 2009
Tebow and I had a lovely, quiet day together. Quiet is kind of a relative term, since there was an interruption of some sort every hour or so. We go home tomorrow and prepare to welcome other family members traveling to meet the young Tebow and celebrate his baptism this upcoming Sunday. I’ll probably have [...]
Libraries fine you when you are overduePosted by Alli on February 16, 2009
As you can see, the baby is still stuck snuggly in his home. I guess he has decided moving day is for chumps. There is a phrase you hear often when pregnant… “Every pregnancy is different.” And here I am at the end of this pregnancy, my second full term pregnancy, and I have to [...]
No more apples for me!Posted by Alli on February 10, 2009
I’ve been eating an apple (or more) a day and I think that might be what’s holding me up. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, right? Well, then obviously if I quit eating them then I’m going to go into labor, because then I would have to see a doctor. Right? Please? Actually, [...]
Not a birth dayPosted by Alli on February 6, 2009
I only took my camera out of my bag this evening to snap this picture and try to remedy my lens problem. Didn’t fix the problem, but if I keep it in auto or museum mode, we do ok. Manual mode is just not letting me do what I want. I probably had plenty of [...]
38 weeks, 1 dayPosted by Alli on February 2, 2009
Doctor day was uneventful. I was able to clear up a misunderstanding about the post partum stay at the hospital (the tour guide said I would have to stay three days, to which I wanted to say, “nuh-uh”) and I left feeling pretty good. Damon has given me his permission to have the baby now [...]
Relief from the heatPosted by Alli on January 31, 2009
Today was a beautiful day. I was so hot I asked Damon to open the window a little bit. Unfortunately, he didn’t think it was that warm. I guess I have to figure if I’m warm, it doesn’t really mean others are warm too. So, I resorted to lots of ice water, and a sweet, [...]
