I pondered for a couple weeks what I might do for a post about the 2011 year. There were ups, but boy there were also a lot of downs. Some of those downs I am still processing. Losing Asia put me in a place and position I have never been. I am still having trouble [...]

Wow, the only way I can describe my current state is manic. One minute I feel like crying yet again for my little Asia, and the next I have butterflies in my stomach for the soon to be new arrival. I get choked up when I find yet another weed eater cord on the floor, [...]

Asia did well for a few hours at home, got some great comfortable DEEP sleep for a change. Around 1 am things started going downhill. Drooling and regurgitation started again, she became more and more uncomfortable, her nose became blocked up and then she was REALLY not doing well (lets just say excess drooling plus [...]
