Jaci Lou: July 2013
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 7, 2013. He Burped in my Nose. Grayson burped in my nose. Not around my face.in my nose. The kid was acting all sweet. grabbing my hair and "kissing" my face (which is really trying to bite my face as if I were a piece of cake). He seriously locked his lips around my nose and as I tried to untangle his sticky fists from my hair before pulling him off, he burped in my nose. Absolutely disgusting. But easy does not challenge us to grow. Easy does not bring out our inner warrior. Easy d...In ca...

Jaci Lou: April 2013
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Life keeps moving. And moving. And moving. Luckily Grayson still does not, because my house is pretty much a baby danger zone. We will baby proof, one day. Will you pray that people step up and watch their two other daughters while they try to navigate this crazy path? Thank you in advance. I will post updated prayer requests when I have them. Grayson and I will be flying to Florida in May to visit a friend. Any tips on traveling with a 7 month old? Thursday, April 11, 2013.

Jaci Lou: Tears
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013/08/tears.html
Friday, August 23, 2013. Yesterday I cried because I tried to make a last minute appointment to get a massage or pedicure or facial.or anything with my gift certificate, and they are all booked. I should probably go pee on a stick because all this crying is getting a wee bit ridiculous. Today I am doing better. No tears thus far.even when my little bugger learned how to climb the stairs. So here's to hoping for a day with more joy and a little less sadness. August 24, 2013 at 6:02 AM. 20 to 26.2.

Jaci Lou: March 2013
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. My little love is five months old. Between caring for my mom and walking with her until she died, I didn't have as much intention in my pregnancy or my parenting as I would have liked. I remember even less of my pregnancy than I care to admit. It just wasn't my focus. So for my own sake and relief of my mommy guilt, here are some pictures of my babe and some info. No clue what to do with this cereal. Really, you want me to eat that? Wednesday, March 20, 2013. So on a totally unrel...

Jaci Lou: May 2013
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 23, 2013. Every now and then we get new epiphanies as parents that I want to sear into my heart and mind. I now understand the magnitude of the statement, "It takes a village to raise a child.". Before everything happened with my mom, I did not realize the power of community.and honestly, I don't think I experienced community at it's finest until I became a parent. Glad I'm not alone. Sunday, May 5, 2013. Is a dangerous word, and unfortunately one often found in my vocabulary. Be able to ke...

Jaci Lou: August 2016
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2016_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 12, 2016. Tree Tunnels and Vanity. As a vain pre teen I often found my mom annoying and embarrassing. Did she always have to say the same thing at bedtime everynight? See you in the morning. Did she have to leave notes in my lunchbox? I wasn't 5 anymore! Why were normal things so fascinating to her? Junior high students don't have fully developed frontal lobes, and clearly mine was lagging. Even thinking about this makes me want to go back in time and shake some sense into that little ...

Jaci Lou: On Children and Ego Shattering
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2016/07/on-children-and-ego-shattering.html
Wednesday, July 13, 2016. On Children and Ego Shattering. I am not sure where I acquired the misconception that I was going to be God's gift to my children and them a gift to me. In so many ways they are special and wonderful gifts. In other ways they are awful and ego shattering. Please hear me out, and don't write me off as the worst parent ever. My love for my children is fierce. I needed a good dose of humility and soul crushing. So God gave me Grayson. We have never felt so ineffective in our lives.

Jaci Lou: One Year
http://jacilou.blogspot.com/2013/10/one-year.html
Tuesday, October 15, 2013. But it didn't matter. Life doesn't wait for you to be ready sweet boy. God knows when you are ready, and his timing was perfect whether I was in agreement or not. So it was on this night, one year ago, at 12:21 am that I pushed you into this world. Surrounded by friends that I loved and friends that loved us, you took your first breath and I decided that I was ready. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blogs I follow like a creepo.
