A blog…is like a pet. You feed it (with words), you groom it (changing themes), you take it for walks and let people ooh and ahh over it and make smoochie noises (comments). You even have to clean up after it sometimes (filtering spam). Time comes in the life of every pet, and blog, where [...]
It was during this hard time in the pregnancy that we decided to name the twins. The active dancer we called Micah, and our little wallflower we named Micaiah. Both names mean “Who is like God?” Even though we had opted for a surgical procedure to try to save the twins’ lives, we knew that [...]
I’ve reached the halfway point. There hasn’t been much to blog about, since my menus are pretty normal and I usually eat the same as the family. Some foods I am supposed to avoid are: milk, cheese, breads, grains, pasta, and potatoes. It will be sad when I discover what of these items are the [...]
Early the morning of my level 2 ultrasound, I was sitting in the light of our Christmas tree, checking for movement. We now knew both babies were girls, but didn’t yet know they were identical. Once I was able to feel the twins’ kicks, and even distinguish one baby’s from another’s, I wasn’t as uncertain [...]

Lunch- fried chicken, baked beans, potato salad, fruit, ice cream cone Oh, those aren’t listed in the MD-allowed foods? My mistake. We were at a picnic celebrating my brother-in-law’s graduation, [...]
Breakfast- scrambled eggs, asparagus That two pounds’ worth took forever to eat up! Lunch- leftover hamburger, baked carrots Dinner- roasted chicken, salad I’m looking forward to phase two, and more, phase three, when I can eat more beans and stuff. This first phase is so limited, but I appreciate the results of it that I [...]
Breakfast- fried eggs, asparagus Lunch- leftover spaghetti squash with sauce Dinner- hamburger, salad I had some kids with a fever yesterday, and didn’t get around to blogging. The breakfast was noteworthy- an onion, pepper and goat cheese omelet. The goat cheese I found at Meijer is interesting- it doesn’t melt very well, and has a [...]
Breakfast: fried eggs Lunch: steak with sauteed mushrooms and onions, roasted asparagus Yeah, I was going to take a picture, but didn’t want you drooling on your keyboard.:) Dinner: tomato sauce over spaghetti squash I’m feeling better. This has been an unexpectedly long stomach bug. My best guess as to what I got: Listeria. My [...]
