If you look way into the future that one child may take a husband or wife increasing your family again, then maybe a grandchild or two will come into the picture. Usually our families increase in […]

Yoda seemed so appropriate as a costume since Yoda was also one that shouldn’t be judged by his size. He may be little but […]

Sometimes they bring comfort and joy, sometimes knowledge, and I will admit, many times I have wept uncontrollably for you and your children (and maybe […]

Today is National 4-P day, Wolfhirschhorn Awareness. Here’s Jordan wearing her 4-P tshirt. I told her is was 4-P day and she gleefully replied “4-P for me!!” She cracks me up. 4-P accessories are available on the 4-p support site. Enjoy your special day families.

In fact, we just lost the best pedi neuro we’ve ever had. The Dr. that replaced her is a sleep specialist and informed us that she knows nothing […]

Continue Reading →Hello, friends, In April, I stumbled upon this excellent article, An Open Letter to the Parent of a Child with Speech Delays. The piece was so thorough and helpful and seemed to be written precisely for Fiona’s situation (and seemed to address, with lots of compassion, all of my own feelings and initial responses to […]

Continue Reading →where does someone begin with this. I would say it all started maybe sometime around the summer of last year. I was sent to the hospital and found out I had a miscarriage to a pregnancy I didn’t even know about. that day I was told I couldn’t have kids or else I wouldn’t survive. […]

She was 5lbs11oz when she entered this world and that should have tipped us off. All of her siblings were 9-10 lbs and here we […]

Her non-WHS brother achieved that milestone at 4 months old! Believe it or not, she’s actually been doing this since she was two and a half months old, but […]
Continue Reading →Does anyone have any advice about navigating questions from strangers? It seems like everywhere I go, someone has to ask me something about my daughter. “Oh! She’s so cute! She’s so tiny! How old is she?” – well-meaning stranger “Four months old.” – me “Oh.” (insert awkward pause) “Is she a preemie?” – semi-well-meaning but […]

We have now cleared all the bogus messages and taken some additional measures to make […]

Continue Reading →Magnolia has just turned 2. Some people call them the ‘terrible twos’, but we think Magnolia acts more like a pampered rock star. She screams for attention when she is ignored, she routinely throws plates of food, leaving messy destruction in her wake, and draws a crowd whenever in public. So it was an easy […]
