Mamma Bird: Surgery Sucks
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2013/08/surgery-sucks.html
Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Sorry for the pessimistic title, but it really does. Surgery is the worst! While we successfully made it through Will's surgery last week, it hasn't changed my outlook on surgery as a whole. Is Thursday morning. Due to her cleft lip and palate. She'll have lip and nose revision, palate fistula repair, dental work and ear tubes. Her surgeon estimates she'll be under anesthesia for around 5 hours and recovery could take up to 2 weeks!

Mamma Bird: May 2013
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 16, 2013. It's been over a month since I last wrote (not counting work related posts like this one. Typically I fall into dry spells because there's nothing to write about, but in this case - life has been so hectic that I just haven't had the time. Now I feel like my brain is overflowing with things that are worth documenting that one post won't be enough! As I sat down though the most important and ironic thing is the fact that my last post. We finally had the much anticipated ultrasound ...

Mamma Bird: April 2013
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 5, 2013. Count your Lucky Stars. Every 365 days I get one year older. It's happened for the past 30 years, and yet each year I can't believe how old I am and wonder how it happened so quickly. It's not unique to me, we all get older. However while I acknowledge my increased age every December, I somehow never remember that my elders continue to age also. In my mind, my grandparents remain 70 years old no matter how many birthdays they celebrate. Of course not, but more than that I hate the ...

Mamma Bird: November 2012
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Those pesky little things that nag you when not reached. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so goal oriented, but as a friend told me recently, "that's just who you are! One of my goals for 2012 was to blog more. I didn't set specific criteria, i.e. once a day, week, month, etc. I just wanted to do better each month compared to 2011. Nope Just as I am goal oriented I'm also always pushing to improve and am never satisfied. So I looked back to 2010. I was so surprised! I know I should...

Mamma Bird: March 2013
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. The morning started off pretty good. She took a bath while I cleaned up the house and afterwards we sat down to eat breakfast and watch Cars. Mornings are usually a good time for her, since she's not overtired and watching television makes her happy almost any time of the day. Getting into the store was okay. She wanted to head straight to the clothing section first because I had promised that Target not only carried eggs, but beautiful Easter dresses too! We sat down to eat the h...

http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2010/06/ellas-story-part-2.html
Tuesday, June 15, 2010. Ella's Story - Part 2. On November 26, 2008 @ 5:29 pm our little Thanksgiving turkey, Ella Marie Leschisin was born, weighing 6 lbs. 11 oz. I was able to hold her and she was whisked away to the NICU to make sure everything was okay. We were told she would not have to go to the NICU but I would rather be safe than sorry and let her go. 2009 Ella was almost 4 months old at the time and we were very nervous and anxious.

Mamma Bird: July 2013
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 25, 2013. Will's surgery was a success! We were dreading the morning of because he wasn't able to eat after midnight, but I woke him to feed at 11:30 pm and he went right back to sleep. He slept all the way through the night and the morning went surprisingly smooth. We took Ella with us to the hospital and even she cooperated! As they opened up, I was fighting back tears so that Ella didn't see me cry. We were prepped for 3 different outcomes. Around 9:25 am the anesthesiologist came t...

Mamma Bird: December 2012
http://leschisin.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. This really is one of the most wonderful times of the year. The holidays bring quality family time, the excitement of Santa, beautiful snowfalls and more importantly, my Grandma Boylen's annual Christmas letter. Each year I anticipate receiving her card in the mail and each year she ceases to amaze me! In these letters she gives the rundown on what each of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren have been up to within the year. Ella is full of something! In betwe...
