He looks cuter and cuter every day.
He already knows how to work me—
Every time I get ready to leave, he wakes up and grips on to my finger, making it impossible for me to leave when his eyes are focusing on me and my voice.
This clip is 26 seconds. Just a tiny look at how much more cute and amazing and precious he gets every day.
The NICU nurses helped me do some arts and crafts with Jonah’s foot prints last night.
The IV in his feet have been taken out, which means I get to play with and tickle his cute and long little monkey feet.
He had his second surgery yesterday, and he remained stable throughout the whole thing. He woke up after his surgery and focused his eyes on me the entire time as I was talking and singing to him. There really is no feeling to compare the feeling I felt during that moment.
Doctors are saying he will be here for many, many months.
Please keep sending love and prayers. I haven’t been on a computer which makes it hard to respond to messages, but please know that I have read every single one of them, multiple times, so thank you so much to not just the people sending me comforting messages, but to everyone who has followed and hearted and commented and offered up encouragement and support. Even if I don’t feel like I deserve it, my little miracle boy definitely does.
Since my c-section, and since having to go to the emergency room for not resting enough, I’ve been resting a lot more and taking better care of myself so I can fully recover.
High waisted underwear has been my new favorite thing to wear as my incision heals. Not just high waisted underwear, but high waisted underwear with horrid floral patterns picked out just for me by my mother in law.
Granny panties are the most comfortable panties in the entire panty world and every single woman should own a few pairs. Especially floral pattern ones.
I was so happy when I finally got to be close to Jonah that I failed to really rest the first day and a half I was here.
After a trip to the emergency room, I’ve been ordered to rest as much as possible, which means not being able to be with Jonah as much as I want.
After resting for a good portion of the day, I was able to go and see him and now I can go about the rest of my evening without breaking down in tears.
He is scheduled for another surgery tomorrow morning. Please pray really hard for him, and please keep sending him all the good positive thoughts and vibes you can possibly muster up.
I’m so happy he woke up for me yesterday.
I wish I can hold him, but just him looking into my eyes and recognizing my voice was the most incredible feeling ever.
This video is only 16 seconds long. Watch it and see just a tiny glimpse of how precious and amazing he is.
I finally get to see my precious little guy in person.
I can’t hold him or kiss him but I can touch him.
He woke up shortly after he heard my voice, and he gripped my finger.
He has a long journey ahead of him but he’s a fighter, I just know it.
Please please if you pray, keep him in your prayers. Keep him in your thoughts, light a candle for him, whatever you do, please take a moment for him when you can.
I can’t stop looking at all the pictures and videos my husband and mother in law have been sending me of Jonah while I am recovering.
I gave birth to Jonah on Monday via emergency c-section. From the time I got to my local hospital to when he was born, it was around 3 hours. He was coming so quickly that there was absolutely no time to make it down to Los Angeles.
Jonah was taken to the children’s hospital the night he was born, and he’s so far been stable.
My whole pregnancy I was hearing that all of his small intestine, large intestine, liver, stomach, and possibly everything else was on the outside of his body. When he was born, they discovered it to be his small intestine and liver. We are so thankful it wasn’t as much as they were saying it was.
He’s already been through so much in his first couple days of life, but I know he’s a strong little fighter.
It’s been very hard on me as I am recovering from my c-section at my local hospital that’s 2 hours away from him. I have yet to touch him or to really have the chance to look at him in person.
It was so comforting and wonderful to see all of your guys’ support, prayers, love and encouragement. Thank you all so very much.
My precious little fighter, Jonah was born weighing 5 pounds at 9:52 pm California time on May 7th. He’s on a ventilator but stable, and has been transferred to the children’s hospital.
He is so beautiful and I can’t wait until I get to touch and hold him. Please keep him in your prayers, thoughts, etc.
I’m on my way to labor and delivery.
I’ve been having painful contractions all day, and they’ve been getting closer and closer.
It’s too soon for him to be born now. He needs to cook a little longer.
Please please pray, send good thoughts, positive energy, whatever your thing is our way.
My…..”owl necklace” is going to take up the entire top half of my body soon.
Pregnancy does strange things to the body.
Today I got into a water gun fight, ate cupcakes, and successfully taught my phone the word “rumpleforeskin”.
Today was a good day.
When I was a kid, pink was my favorite color all the way up until junior high/high school when I went through a gothic phase. Then I pretended it was black, but I still always secretly loved pink. It always reminded me of raspberry sherbet or bubble gum or pepto bismol (all of which I love).
Now it’s red. Red is passionate and bright and fun. I like passion and brightness and fun. I still like red’s younger sister pink too.
Since today is a very special day, I decided to let our giant stuffed ewok out of the closet to help celebrate.
My son hates this ewok. When he comes home from school, I give it 10 minutes before it has to go back into the closet.
May the 4th be with you!
This morning I got the chance to meet up with the wonderful Darienne Lake.
It was the perfect start to my day, and I’m so happy that I got to meet such an amazing, beautiful and shining star in person.
Love you Miss Lake!

My nipples hurt really bad.
Good night.
