Journaling about my kids (plural- wow!) for me; updates on our life for our wide circle of loved ones is for, well, our loved ones; sharing about life with a spunky toddler and the emotional highs and lows of having a wonderful baby with Down Syndrome is for anyone who might be on a similar journey.

Stitches, sleep deprivation and Bible Camp



Stitches be damned, I have to be better now, cause Liam's home and it's a lot of work! Oh, I am so tired. I slept all of 3 hours last night, and just got an hour more. It's 10:30 am. It's not that he's up crying a lot. It;s that in the day he sleeps 4 hours at a strtech and at night is cluster feeding it seems. And he makes lots of funny noises. One, I listen wondering if he's ok, if he's spitting up, or having trouble breathing through his nose. And two, I just can't sleep if he's making noises beside me. So....



So, Bible Camp. I can't believe it, but Lupe is in Bible Camp at a church and I don't even know where. We are grateful to our friend for the suggestion, as we REALLY need to recuperate and feel bad scolding Lupe so much (LOts of new things to learn, and we are tired and grumpy). Lupe needs to go somewhere where people have the energy to play with her. And she has a friend there. And we do thank God before meals, for family, farmworkers and friends. And if she comes home mentioning Jesus, well, he was a good guy. May not agree with many churches, but I do believe in his original teachings.

Lupe and Pedro willbe back soon, we'll see how it went!

  1. Hi my friend, loving your blog, and of course your story its fabulous and almost brings me to tears. Thank you for taking the time to keep us all updated...mosre love to you and your babies...oh and hi of course to Pedro.....Love Lupe

    Hi Everybody, Sara I love your blog and sharing all the pictures, however, I have no idea how to blog back. I can barely send an E-Mail. Liam is beautiful, he looks like Lupe. I read your story abLupe and you not having the single life together and how it made you tear up, then I teared up in fact I'm tearing up right now. It's so wonderful, and so impossible this motherhood thing. I also remember how terrifying it is to have a brand new baby and listen to the breathing. It'll all be good soon. I'm thinking about you alot and Pedro and Liam and Lupe. You are a beautiful family in every way. I really enjoyed your stay here and I wish we were closer. I promise this winter to spend some time with you. Lupe just realized we're blogging back to ourselves so she'll copy this and send this via E-Mail. Duhhhhh. Love to all of you and I think it's great that Lupe is going to bible camp. Gives you a second to breath and gives her a fabulous time.
    Jesus was a good man!!! Love Peggy
