This entry was posted on September 14, 2012, in Updates. The last few days have been chalk full of learning about Marni. We are grateful we’ve gotten time with her alone to get to know her personality and bond. So this post is really about just that…what we’ve learned so far! Our first night with her, we asked her if she wanted to sleep with Mama, or with Mama. Papa Does anyone really have any doubt what she chose? Marni loves to give kisses….I mean REALLY loves to give kisses. :). One of Marni’s m...

Kristin Owen: Willow Drew at Two Months
http://faking-adulthood.blogspot.com/2014/12/willow-drew-at-two-months.html
Monday, December 8, 2014. Willow Drew at Two Months. Dearest Willow Drew,. You are such a happy baby. As soon as you make eye contact with anyone, mommy especially, you grin and grin and grin. You will coo and talk my ears off as long as I hold your gaze. Your eyes, pretty and blue like your sisters, are bright and wide when you are awake. No one needs to remind me to cherish every moment, because I'm doing that just fine on my own. Every. Moment. You are a gift. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Taylo...

Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Best way to spend my time. Telling stories about bears, princesses, elephants, and adventures. Protecting the fort from the Zissou beast. Best way to spend my time. Monday, February 27, 2012. Can't be that bad, right? These flu-like symptoms are the worst. Add on the pain in the infected area, a hungry newborn, and we've got miserable. Mastitis had after effects as well. River Jane had some nursing strikes where I had to trick her into latching. Not fun. River Jane the Doll.

Wednesday, May 23, 2012. 4 Months with You, Rio. Dearest River Jane,. Here are a few of your special skills/facts:. You are fantastic at rolling over. It's no longer random and 'accidental'. You can control when you roll over and even the direction you roll. You are a grabber. If anything gets anywhere near your line of sight, you get this wild look in your eye and attack. You especially love it when faces get close, so you can squeeze and kiss them. You've been desiring to chew a lot lately. Some of...

Kristin Owen: April 2012
http://faking-adulthood.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. Recently, Marge, a sweet missionary to Costa Rica called River Jane "Rio". for those of you who don't know, Rio means River in Spanish. I fell in love with it. It's now my favorite nickname for River Jane. And even better, Taylor calls her Rio too. But it sounds more like "wio". It's adorable. Adorable I tell you. Did I mention that I love it? And just for fun, here's a pic of our sweet little Rio. A Little Truth for Now. Also, this verse was like gold. Everyone to whom God has gi...

Tuesday, October 21, 2014. Willow Drew Owens Birth Story. This is my first time blogging in forever, I mean forever. I just wanted to document the birth of Willow. This will be long and graphic, fair warning. So here goes…. Graphic, but true. I loved being pregnant. Don’t get me wrong. Nothing compares to feeling that tiny baby moving around inside one’s tummy. I was always judgy when women would complain their whole pregnancy, but. As it did with my other two births). N to get a littl. E nervous. The.

Kristin Owen: March 2012
http://faking-adulthood.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 30, 2012. Today marks operation "get River Jane out of my bed". With Taylor, I started early getting her to self soothe herself to sleep. She would start out in her bed, but I would nurse her by me and leave her there for the 4:00 feeding. Things are different with River Jane. I'm scared to let her cry even a tiny bit at night. We share a wall with Taylor and I'm so afraid it will wake her up. And it stops now. Update on Wednesday, April 4th:. But you did giggle. You are 8 weeks old. It's s...

Kristin Owen: Breastfeeding, Bottles, and Swallowing My Pride
http://faking-adulthood.blogspot.com/2014/12/breastfeeding-bottles-and-swallowing-my.html
Monday, December 8, 2014. Breastfeeding, Bottles, and Swallowing My Pride. I loved breast feeding both Taylor and Rio. Don't get me wrong. It was hard, and I had to fight for it. But it was worth it. It helped me in bonding with them. I absolutely loved that only I could give them what they needed. They were completely dependent on me, their mommy. After a week, I had a new baby. And I knew I had made the right decision. She was happier and sleeping better and gaining weight. My pride. Oh my pride...
