So this past week has been a true week of trials. Last Wednesday we got news that my Grandma from Indiana (my Mom's mom) who has been fighting leg melanoma has stage 4 melanoma in her lung. Which pretty much means it's terminal. They can't operate or do chemo not that I think she would do either. She is SICK of hospitals and doctors after undergoing something like 13 surgeries in 7 months. So Andy and I went into planning mode, my best way to handle news like this. When could we go to Indiana, how, and how much would it cost? All those questions. Our biggest question how would Maddux do on the 10 hour drive? We went to St Louis a few weeks ago and that about did him in. So we are dealing with that. I believe we are going to try to make the trip over 4 th of July. Andy has time off already so it would make the most sense to go then.... there are still a lot of questions though so we are STILL trying to figure it all out. Our biggest trial/blessing came yesterday, Monday th...

So my life changes again.... My best friend Shari told me the first year of Motherhood is super hard because once you have things figured out your child will change things up on you and you will be lost all over again!!! And she was SO right!!! So I had my child on a schedule, knew when he would nap, when he would eat, go to sleep at night, etc.. My son has decided to change things up on me and keep things "fresh" for me. He is now not sleeping on his usual schedule, not eating on his normal schedule, not pooping on his normal schedule and not going to sleep at his normal schedule and now he is becoming mobile. I wouldn't call it crawling or even army crawling, I would call it inchworming . Seriously he looks like an inchworm as he uses his feet, his butt, his head and occasionally a shoulder or an arm to propel him across the floor in an inchworm fashion. It's hilarious and terrifying for me! I am NOT ready for my "baby" to be even less dependant on me....
