<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Since going back to work after maternity leave, I didn't feel one way or another about staying home or continuing to work. So, since no decision was the easy and less final decision, I went back to work and have been working since. Leading up to about a month ago, I hadn't ever felt at peace about leaving work to stay home. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I definitely had days I literally texted Seth, “Can I be done now,” but I was never truly ready to take the plunge. So in the last several of months, I have been praying that the Lord would make it clear if I should stay or should go. I thought to myself, if work is just really hard, that will be my sign to go.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The last three months, it’s been hard.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
On top of work being crazy and my reduced commute not being all I hoped, we had just moved and were getting ready for Hannah’s first birthday/housewarming party. When work is crazy and home is crazy, there is no break. There was little time to truly focus on the small amount of time I actually did have with Hannah. It’s been stressful, and I don’t get stressed easily.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
My one saving grace at work is that I haven’t had to fill any positions in my department. I have seen other areas struggling to get things done even more because they have been short staffed. Thankfully I have been able to get out the door, though sans a lunch break, close to my scheduled end time.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Then a month ago, one of my subordinates resigned.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I knew immediately when she told me. I knew that it was time to be “done,” and it was the first time I ever felt peace about it. Granted, what I intended to do was first request going part-time, but I was finally ready to walk if part-time was not feasible.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Days later I told my boss that through prayer and various circumstance, it became clear that I need to spend more time with my family. Because of the staffing needs in the department, I asked to be considered for a part-time position. Otherwise, I would work out a schedule until the proper replacements were made. I knew that as a manager, I could not work part-time in my current position.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
My timing wasn't great in that my boss was leaving for a two week business trip. Nonetheless, upon her return she worked the the appropriate executive and HR channels and two weeks ago I found out a part-time position was approved. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #4a4a4a; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 1.615em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
So, this is my last full week of work. On Mondays and Thursdays, I will "just" be mommy. To God be the glory.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If I play with you on the floor, you pause what you are doing every few minutes to come give me a hug. Although you are affectionate, you need your space when you're upset after getting hurt.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2. A few weeks ago, Seth and I were in the kitchen while you were playing in the living room (or so we thought). It suddenly got quiet so we came looking for you. We found you in the bathroom, looking innocent, until we noticed your wooden groceries in the garbage can...wet. There was only one way that happened. We didn't know whether to be disgusted or impressed.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3. You stood up from the ground unassisted and went right into a walk for the first time (with complete ease) on Tuesday (October 15).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">4. You are shy at first when you are around new people. You are perfectly capable of standing and walking, for example, but you curl up your legs when you're around new people and I'm trying to set you down. When at the park and other kids come playing, you freeze your activity and will sit and watch them for as long as I let you. When the kids get nearby, you quietly and shyly say, "hi".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">5. You are a brave girl when it comes to slides. Day #2 going down slides at the park you could do it all by yourself.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">6. You are a Mama's girl. If I am in close proximity you will reach for me, even if Dada has you. While true, you say Dada much more than Mama. "Mama" takes some prompting. (Side note, today was a hard day leaving you to go to work. You know the routine, and are sad even before I have to say goodbye. Needless to say, I was late for work since I squeezed in extra hugs.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">7. You have become quite opinionated. You used to be much more easy going but have come to understand and make use of the word "no," which you say firmly like a German.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">8. You mimic well, and that's why I think you're so smart and verbal. I particularly like having yelling wars. You even yell when you watch the video of you with Waylon on his birthday. And yesterday,while reading one of your colors books, you said "car" for the first time!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/TYzZt3y3C1Y?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">9. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Speaking of Waylon, you have a minor obsession with him. All day long we hear "Way Way, Way Way." You know there are pictures on Dada's iPad and Mama's phone of Waylon, so every time you see them we always hear "Way Way, Way Way" and you reach up for us to pick you up to show you pictures of your Way Way.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">10. You are a rock star sleeper. Only once in our new home, two days in, have you woken up in the middle of the night. You are so easy to put down, and you're still taking two solid naps (8:45 AM for approximately two hours and 2:30 PM for over two hours). </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Hannah's birthday just days after we moved into our new home and anticipating a house-warming party in the foreseeable future, we decided to combine the two by postponing Hannah's 1st birthday bash by a month.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After scrambling to get the house all unpacked but no attempt made to fill all the empty room, the party was held on Saturday, October 4. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of course no party is complete without the Miller/Morrow clan. The Minnesota gang came in two days prior to help get things ready (and do some pre-party partying). So here are some pics from the few days prior.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since we are moving from our "home" at Seth's parents into our new home in Lisle today, we had to say goodbye to our sweet nanny, Gladys.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Over the last six months, Gladys has been watching Hannah along with Emma, four months younger than Hannah and the daughter of some friends of ours. She has been such a sweet blessing to us. Not only has she cared for Hannah in our home most of the time, she has cared for Hannah as if she were her own.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Eleven days of Hannah's eleventh month I was traveling for work in Germany. I hated being away, but was thankful for the ability to see/talk to my baby over Skype. Another eight days of this month was spent in South Carolina. See previous post for more on that!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The highlight of the month was a week vacation in South Carolina with the Pietrini's. While this is our seventh year on the Isle of Palm, the week was like none other with not one but two babes in tow for the first time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because we figured the babies wouldn't do well on at 16 hour car ride, and considering the mounds of extra stuff we need to bring to SC with us this time around, they boys (a.k.a. Seth, Jim, and Nathan) drove themselves and the "stuff" while the girls flew with the babies.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah is obsessed with Waylon, in case you didn't gather this from the pictures. Most of the time, Waylon could care less about paying attention to or playing with Hannah. Hannah, on the other hand, follows Waylon around, chases him thinking it's a game (really he just wants away from her), and she can't keep her hands off of him...and his hair! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Enjoy just a fraction of the pics taken during the week!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I thought Hannah said her first word this month - ball - but she hasn't come back to saying it since the three days she kept repeating it.

Second word in the running for her first word is "uh-oh". I'm not convinced</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> this is her first word either since it's really not a word at all, however I think she has a concept of what it means. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since May 27 was both Seth's birthday and Memorial Day, I packed the three of us a lunch and we headed out to Mount Olive Cemetery to to visit Gramps, Hannah's paternal great-grandfather, who passed away four years ago. It was the first time any of us had visited since Gramps' passing. </span></div>

Picking up Hannah from daycare is routine. When I arrive to the facility, I scan for a spot between the other cars temporarily parked, park, or drive past and turn around if this quick exit option is available. I then jump out, lock the car, open the outer gate of the facility, walk to the entrance, key in the unlock code, grab her from the infant room, exit, unlock the car door, put Hannah in her car seat, and hop in the front seat happy to be proceeding home.<br />
<br />
On Wednesday, May 1, pickup ended (and not until later did I realize it actually also began) differently. After I strapped Hannah into her car seat and hopped into the front seat I realized that the front passenger-side window was busted in.<br />

My first and naive inclination was that my window spontaneously broke. Regardless, I scanned for my purse (then phone and pump; they remained rested were they were left). No purse. I jumped out, grabbed Hannah out of her car seat, and began scanning the parking lot and questioning other parents that were pulled up in front of me if they saw anything. Nothing.<br />

KinderCare called the police. The KinderCare director also offered to take Hannah off my hands, but I clung to her and she sat on my hip as I reported what I knew to the cop when he arrived.<br />
<br />
Did I see or hear anything: nope. I did remember noting that this was a rare day to see no other cars pulled up to the curb when I arrived. I had swung my car around before I parked (easy exit, remember) and now realized I made the passenger side nicely assailable for a drive-by window bust. The kids and teachers outside just behind the adjacent fence didn't deter the theif(s), and they correctly presumed the fence was high enough and kids loud enough for them to neither be seen nor heard.<br />
<br />
Sometime between providing the information I could and describing the contents of my purse, the cop asked if I want the good news or bad news first. I asked for the bad first. "No cameras and no witnesses doesn't make for a good possibility of catching the perpetrator(s)." And the good news? "Everything is replaceable."<br />
<br />
Although the latter comment was somewhat annoying, it reinforced what I was already thinking: thankfully nothing happened to Hannah.<br />
<br />
I didn't expect to hear anything from the detective on my case. I figured they wanted the money inside, and I cancelled all my credit cards so those would be denied. No later than the next day did I receive a call that someone tried to cash a $3,600 check of mine under another victims name to retrieve the cash, plus $1,000. This wasn't just a one-time drive by. They're professionals, and known as the <a href="http://The LORD gave and the LORD has taken away; may the name of the LORD be praised."">Felony Lane Gang</a>. "Lane" because they drive up to the farthest lane at the bank and make a split check "deposit".<br />
<br />
Even after notifying my bank and putting alerts on my account, the thieves were able to "deposit" four checks belonging to another victim into my account and withdraw another $1,000 in the same transaction. While they took $4,000 out of my account, they walked away with over $7,000 since they were cashing fraudulent checks at the same time.<br />
<br />
Our bank covered the expenses since we put the proper alerts on our account, but it just makes me wonder what not, one, two, or three, but FOUR tellers were thinking when they cashed thousand dollar checks and gave an additional $1,000 cash when I clearly had "purse stolen" on my account.<br />
<br />
So, for the time being, no one can withdraw money in my name.<br />
<br />
This whole experience really got me thinking about my craving for justice/fairness. Something that I have exhibited since I was a child, and my response to losing what is "mine".<br />
<br />
What actually pains me more than losing my possessions is that someone else took them, unfairly, and successfully used my own name to scheme their way into more. And they did this all so purposefully. So selfishly. As if they believed they were somehow entitled. That they believed they should have wealth if other people have wealth, or, they think they're stealing from people who wouldn't notice a "few" missing bucks an this justifies their action. But that might be giving them the benefit of the doubt. Their scheming is likely deliberate, deliberate and perpetual sin. It grieves me. It grieves the Lord.<br />
<br />
To close, this is a reminder to hold strongly to my desire to be a steward. To recognize that all I have belongs to the Lord, to use my resources and possessions for His glory, and to hold nothing too tightly or feel secure in anything but Him.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">While not a long trip, Spain gave me the opportunity to test the waters for more extended future travels, and it ended up being a nice getaway. My meetings happened to take place at a beach side resort and I had my arrival afternoon and rest day to lay by the pool in sunshine and perfect temps. I was able to Skype with Seth and Hannah everyday, and before I knew it I was back on a plane to come home.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past weekend was a big weekend for us and Hannah. Not only was Hannah dedicated, but my family was in, Hannah went swimming for the first time, and we threw a surprise 30th birthday party for Seth. This big weekend happened all while in the middle of packing to move in a week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My parents drove in from Minnesota on Friday and Sarah, Peter, and Elora flew in. My parents arrived first and in time for dinner, so we ate at the condo and hung out until the Morrow's arrived. The boys went to airport for pickup while the girls stayed back so I could feed Hannah. Since the visitors were staying at a hotel for the weekend and I didn't want to wait until Saturday to see the Morrow's, my mom and I packed up Hannah, fully expecting she would fall asleep in the car for the night, and headed over to the hotel to meet everyone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah hasn't been liking the car lately. She used do so well in the car, enjoying looking out the window - paci in mouth - until her eyelids got heavy and she fell asleep for the remainder of the ride. This particular evening I thought for sure she would fall right asleep since it was her bedtime anyway. Instead, she fussed and cried the whole way.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I worried we would have a cranky baby at the hotel while we visited, but I was wrong. Hannah was more excitable than ever. Not only did Hannah seem to be energized by all the people in the one tiny hotel room (I think we have an extrovert on our hands), she was mesmerized by Elora, watching her wherever she went and laughing at everything she did. We all had so much fun watching and laughing at Hannah, we were all glad she didn't fall asleep!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next morning, we headed back over to the hotel for a day of hanging out and swimming.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The "plan" for the evening was to drop the girls off at Seth's parents while the rest of us went out to dinner for a belated celebration birthday for my mom.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seth's b</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">irthday guests were instructed to arrive to the Pietrini's no later than 6:30 PM for the surprise. I had made "reservations" for 7:30 thinking that 6:40 would be an appropriate time to drop the girls off. The Guest of Honor didn't think this was early enough and proceed to arrange to have us out of the nearby hotel by 6!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My dad made up an excuse that delayed us getting out of the hotel by over 15 minutes. Way to take one for the team Daddy-o. Seth's subtle annoyance and the fact that he was looking up the best way to get to the restaurant for dinner indicated he didn't have a clue about the impending surprise. My stomach was in knots. Unsure if it would stay that way and afraid a birthday guest would be arriving as we arrived.</span></div>

While some chatter did illuminate from the house at we approached, the birthday boy wasn't tipped off.

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then on Sunday, April 28, Seth and I publicly dedicated Hannah to the Lord in front of our church congregation at The Compass Church in Naperville. It was a blessed service being surrounded by our families, and we are extra thankful that Pastor Dale Hummel performed the dedication service. It's the last he will perform at The Compass. (Dale is moving to Minnesota, of all places, to pastor at Wooddale Church. Minnesota, you are getting a good one!)</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Baby dedication is about publicly declaring that we will raise Hannah according to God's Word and that we seek to instill in her faith in our Lord Jesus.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We shared that our </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">hope for Hannah is that she comes to faith in Christ at a young age and
continually seeks to gain a deeper understating of who God is. We pray
that she models Christ to those around her and boldly shares the Good News
with others.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The verse we chose for Hannah was Hebrews 10:22-24:</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold unswerving to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds.”<br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For the first time, Hannah showed signs of being upset as I was leaving for work today. When I handed her off to the nanny and began putting my coat on, she began to whimper. I went to her for one last kiss goodbye, and she leaned into me to take her. I took, but couldn't help thinking what terrible timing for this stage to begin; I leave for Spain in six days.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I knew travel for work was inevitable and wouldn't be easy for me, but I wasn't expecting Hannah to already understand Mommy leaving. On the bright side, I will be gone just four days on this first trip, but I'm gone nonetheless.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When I arrive home this evening, Hannah was happy and happy to see me, but that was only because she was held most of the day due to her fussiness. This is not like my baby. I scooped Hannah up, but she wouldn't let me put her down without fussing for about</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> a half hour.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do have to admit, it's kinda sweet. She loves me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All this leaves me wondering how the both of us are going to be when I leave. While this part may be difficult, saying goodbye, and being gone, aren't actually what I'm most worried about. I'm most worried about how she will respond to me when I return. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Will she be excited? Or will she be reclusive?</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In an effort to help soften both my worry and potential for a rude welcome home, I will be creating video messages for </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seth to play for Hannah. I also hope to Skype while gone, and thankfully I'm gone over a weekend so the timing works out to connect. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm sure going to miss you my sweet Hannah Rose (and Daddy too of course).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I recently watched a video blog entry of lies that moms tell their children. In a very effervescent and whimsical manner, the moms confessed lies about their ability to put new batteries in toys. That "in California, they don't make gum." "It's illegal to drive with balloons in the car." "We don't get that show" and "they're out of that food."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The video reminded me that for as long as I can remember, I have always told myself I am going to try to never lie to my children. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because like all lies, lying to our children is selfish. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Should not our most paramount example be to our children? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Train up a child in the way he should go</i>.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">

<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span style="background-color: #fffefd; color: #001320; line-height: 21px; text-align: justify;">in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity. </span></i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know, I know. You probably have an argument for when it's okay to lie to your children, especially when it can escape a tantrum (think check out line at the grocery store) or avoid heartache: "Mommy, do dogs go to heaven when they die?" </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But I guess I view these as opportunities to mold fortitude, patience, understanding, empathy, honesty and trust. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This doesn't mean I will tell my children everything. The answer may be: "Let's talk about this later."</span><br />

<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Proverbs 12:19</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Why is it my goal to never lie to my children? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Children are smart. L</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ies could risk eroding my child's trust in me.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lying teaches children lies are okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What? Where have these six months gone? It doesn't seem like all that long ago that we welcomed Hannah into our lives, although the days of that petite little babe with the lowest and quietest cry you ever heard seem like a distant memory. Because these days, Hannah is full of giggles (she giggles at everything and nothing at all). And ohh the chunk. And now she reaches, pinches, grabs, screams with delight, sits for minutes on end unassisted, and now she eats!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Two weeks ago we officially started Hannah on solids. (Although I would be lying if I didn't say that we let her suck on the occasional Honey Comb cereal before that, and had a little frozen apple at Nate & Dana's.) </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Her first "official" experience was with avocado; and she loved it.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for other foods...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bananas: Loved</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Green Apple: Nearly Hated</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pink Lady Apple: Getting Warmer</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This past month I have really seen the protective mommy-in-me kick in. A minor incident at daycare had me leaving their facility in tears. Last week, I received a call early that day that a bottle of Hannah's had spilled. I had extra milk in their freezer, so the problem should have had an easy fix. When I arrived to pick up Hannah, however, I was informed that she was fed her spilled bottle at her first feeding, and her next two feedings were supplemented with an added three ounces. What? Not only did they not feed Hannah a full bottle first, they supplement not just one, but two of her next bottles with an added three ounces! Why they did not simply give her a bottle that didn't spill first, followed by bottles with the normal five ounces she receives at each feeding, I have no idea? Rather, Hannah didn't get a full bottle at her first feeding, and was fed an added three ounces to supplement not just her second feeding, but also her third. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I politely gave the teacher, and later the facility director, my two cents, but that didn't change feeling bad that Hannah didn't receive a single proper feeding while I was away. First, she didn't receive a full bottle, then, her little tummy was filled so full. Never have I given her a eight ounces in a feeding. I was thinking, "poor full girl," (but maybe in reality is should have been more like, "lucky girl"). In any respect, the situation brought me to tears. Knowing full well Hannah is fine and in the scheme of, well, just about anything, this is no big deal. But what I felt is that Hannah didn't get the best care she could get that day. And I wish I could have been the one to handle the situation.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No, I'm not about to quit my job to make sure something like this doesn't happen again. This type of thing could have easily happened any other time Seth or I wasn't watching Hannah. Rather, it is a bit of a reminder to have a conversation about how Hannah is being cared for when hiccups come along, even when the solution seems like an obvious fix.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coincidentally, Hannah is going down to one day a week at daycare starting this week. A friend of mine is just returning to work after maternity leave</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, and the two of us have hired a friend of hers to watch our two girls. So, Gladys will be coming to my place M/W/F. And as an added bonus, Hannah will soon be multilingual; Gladys is from Bolivia!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I managed get a few minutes between Hannah's fussiness tonight by popping in a Baby Mozart video. Hannah is sick. And not just the little stuffiness she has had three times already this season. (Yes, she's sick for the FOURTH time.) This bout has really taken a hold of her. Her poor nose is constantly full, and raw from all the times we have sprayed, wiped, and suctioned it. Her sleep isn't so sound between coughing and sneezing. Poor girl.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah started not feeling well Sunday. With just a little stuffiness and coughing, we still took her into daycare on Monday. Half way though the day I got a call about her not feeling well, and even after being with Grandma P on Tuesday, she was in no position to go to daycare Wednesday or Thursday. So Seth and I have each taken a day to stay home with her. I got today. Valentine's Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Little One, I am so sorry you don't feel well. But I hope you know that your mommy and daddy love you very much and would do anything for you. In honor of Valentine's Day, here are some of the things we love about you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love your SMILE! When you smile, you don't just grin. You give us a wide open mouth and smile with your whole body. Even when you're sick, we can still squeeze out smiles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love your giggles.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love bath time with you. We love watching you love the water, and we love us a naked baby. That belly of yours kills us every time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love when you reach up and touch our face. It's so fun to interact with you. And we don't mind when you pinch and scratch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love when you are looking at us (mostly Daddy) from far away and smile when we look back at you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love how pretty you are. Sometimes we can't handle the cuteness. But it does make us worry about boys later on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We (okay I) love your brown eyes. I was hoping they would be brown, because they remind me of Daddy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love talking to you. Probably because this is one of your favorite things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love falling asleep with you. You feel so good in our arms.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love watching you roll over. We're seeing it more and more and you're getting pretty good at it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We love that if we have to get ready for the day and you are awake, you are content to hang out in your bed and watch us get ready.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah Rose, we love you not because of what you do, but because you are our daughter and a child of God. Al that said, it doesn't hurt that your also such a good baby. Thanks for being awesome.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what's new at five months?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah has teeth! The bottom two have sprouted and now she loves sticking her tongue out to feel them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah reaches for <i>everything</i>. She's so good at picking things up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah loves "The Wheels on the Bus." She cracks up when I sing it to her.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah must be far-sighed, or just likes to look at what's across the room. You can be holding her, and even talking to her, but she always seems more interested in someone or something else.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah didn't see Mommy OR Daddy all day for the first time. Hannah was with the Pietrini grandparents this weekend while we attended the high school youth group retreat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">What's the same at five months?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah just keeps getting chunkier. My favorite chunks are on her thighs, wrists, and cheeks!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah is as drooly as ever - she practically spits!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hannah is as smiley as ever. She'll shoot you a smile every time you smile at her. It's the giggles that are a challenge. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seth and I are still crazy in love with her. We miss her when she's away and we're always excited to see her.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Getting up 30-45 minutes earlier before work every morning </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">means I get to spend our first waking moments together. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feeding you for hours each day </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">reminds me to slow down </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">and spend time with you. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lengthening my commute by 20 minutes each work day </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">is okay because I get to be with you longer </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">and see you sooner. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Taking breaks at work to<strike> pump</strike> express milk </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">lends me the knowledge that I'm helping protect you </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: right;">from illness and </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">allergies, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">and may even be boosting your IQ </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(not to mention help me lose the baby wight). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As anticipated, Friday's <span style="background-color: white;">transesophageal echocardiogram detected no blood clots, or risk factors for blood clots.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So what do we conclude? </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I'll at least tell you what <i>I</i> conclude. <a href="http://pietrinifamily.blogspot.com/2012/07/emergency-room-take-two.html">Emergency room take two</a> was just as the high risk pregnancy doctor suspected - an abnormal migraine. That or I simply experienced one of the many perplexing side effects of the pregnancy condition.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We'll see what the neurologist has to say next Tuesday <strike>and waste yet another $40 copay</strike>...</span></span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you haven't been following my blog earlier than about about half way through my pregnancy, or if you have an simply have forgotten about my <a href="http://pietrinifamily.blogspot.com/2012/07/emergency-room-take-two.html">second trip to the emergency room</a> when pregnant, I don't blame you. Seeing pictures and updates of Hannah Rose are much more exciting. But for the few and far between that have been asking about follow-up post pregnancy, the last test to find out if I'm actually susceptible to blood clots and/or stroke is Friday. My Protein C levels in my blood are still a bit low post-pregnancy, but I'm still not considered deficient.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My test on Friday will commence with an eight-hour fast followed by a two-hour period in "twilight" while doctors perform a </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">transesophageal echocardiogram. For those of you that have no idea what this means, I will basically have a probe passed down my esophagus (thus the fast) to get a clearer image of my heart. This compares to the non-invasive </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">echocardiogram - like an ultrasound of the heart - I received during pregnancy when "twilight" wasn't an option. The goal here, as I understand it, is to check out the left atrium for blood clotting, which may have caused my "TIA".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Am I nervous (for the results)? Not a pinch. The whole reason for placing TIA in "quotes" is because I'm not at all convinced I actually had a TIA incident. I think the high-risk pregnancy doctor was right (see </span><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4179044606022860955#editor/target=post;postID=7535387369411949647" style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Doctors, Doctors & More Doctors</a><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">); I think the numbness and aphasia I experienced was an atypical migraine. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br />
</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">In the event something abnormal from the </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">transesophageal echocardiogram is found, the results will likely conclude whether I need to continue my daily regime of taking Baby Asprin, and will likely sentence me to Lovonox/ Heparin injections for the full duration of subsequent pregnancies. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br />
</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">If so, it will be worth it.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;"><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 19.200000762939453px;">Because even after months of giving myself daily injections, and not-to-mention my struggle mid-pregnancy with breathlessness, the difficult times have been quickly forgotten and the reward is well worth the trial. I mean, just look at this Cheese:</span></span></span></div>
