Last Thursday, “Auntie” Jen came to visit and meet Adrianna. Jen and I have been friends pretty much since the very first day of college (Grace University) in January of 1997. She was practically...

Adrianna is focusing on the world around her more and more each day. Her mobiles and toys in her bassinet are becoming increasingly interesting to her. She will gaze at them and just pump...

Adrianna is 2 weeks old today. I have found that I am learning many things as a new mom. This list continues to grow by the hour. Babies do not breathe with a “normal”...
