How Life is Measured: Off the subject

Uninspired

I have no excuses for not keep up with my blog other than the fact that I have been totally uninspired to write. Nothing has been that interesting. Nothing new to report. I don't even have any new cute pictures! I love the blog and what it's done for me but I'll be honest - it's a chore to keep up sometimes!
The fam and I are headed up north for Labor Day weekend however. Maybe that will give me some material. In the meantime....uhhh....ooohhhh!!! I do have one interesting observation!

If Tina Fey and Mariska Hargitay had a baby......

she would be GOP vice presidental hopeful Sarah Palin!

Isn't that an amazing resemblance?

Our Story

Our story is a both normal and extraordinary. My son Owen, had a dramatic beginning. Days before he was born, doctors diagnosed him with lethal skeletal dysplasia and he was given a life expectancy of minutes to hours.

Their original diagnosis would prove wrong and he was assessed to have Achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism.
If you'd like a raw backstory, this is a good place to start:
The Letters

This blog's genesis had several motivations. I needed an outlet for my sorrows, joys and confusion. I needed an avenue to meet people. I needed to try and let others know that they were not alone. I am happy to say all of my needs were fulfilled.

The poor blog has been neglected as of late because my desire for cathartic expression became less and less as I melded into the folds of everyday life. As a first time mother, I realized that I wouldn't know the difference between raising a average height son vs raising a dwarf son. Interestingly enough, the birth of my second son Liam has highlighted some of those long forgotten struggles.

I make no promises as to the frequency (or quality) of my writing but can only promise that when I do it will be honest.
