On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009. I am having a hard night tonight. Our little guy in Haiti, Keanan, is in the hospital. He has a really bad infection in his foot. It's a bacterial infection, probably staph or something like it. Bacterial infections can be nasty to battle even in the US.

Life Lately
Karis came to me with an idea for her birthday cake. “Do you have a photo of what you want to do?” I asked. “No. It’s all in my head,” she said. Love her creativity! She totally pulled it off. And yes, matching her dress to the cake was ? intentional. I am gutted by the loss of my friend Rachel today. Rachel Held Evans is the smartest person I've ever met. I don't say that with an ounce of hyperbole or exaggeration. She was absolutely the most brilliant thinker I had the pleasure . . .

The woozy ultrasound || On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009.
On Thursdays I post from the vault. This post is from February 2009. I am 32 weeks today. It's hard to believe I'm so close to meeting my baby girl. Then again, I feel like I have been pregnant forever and cannot believe it's possible I could get any MORE pregnant. I am huge. Really, huge. I get the pleasure of random people telling me that on a daily basis. "Wow, you look ready to pop!" I may pop the next person who tells me that. Today I had an ultrasound, for the sole purpose of . . .
