Feeling like we needed a break from real life for a day or so because of all that has happened to us, we planned a quick getaway from Rachie’s place in Port Charlotte to Key West.
Our getaway to Key West got off to a rough start, literally. First getting up at 5:30 to drive to [...]

Well the day came that we had to meet with the Funeral director to make arrangement s for little Noah. Since neither Sharon nor I ever want an open casket or want to be buried in a coffin we made the decision to have Noah cremated.
As we discussed all the details with the Director we [...]

The last full day Sharon’s family was here we went to the beach for lunch and to hang out. We got food at Flounders and then headed out to the Cross. The Cross is a surfer’s break which is marked by a large white cross on top of a large sand dune. Pretty col because [...]

In the last entry I spoke about feeling Noah’s presence through his scent, well I believe he thought that was not enough to convince me so he sent me other signs, well actually it seemed he wanted to show off a little maybe ;)
While family and friends were in town we decided to go out [...]

Baby Noah at 39 weeks :)We got some really good news yesterday. Previously Sharon’s body, primarily the placenta, was not functioning properly. On a scale of 10 it received a 4 :( And the amniotic fluid levels were below normal. This gave red flags to our midwife and OB, causing them to decide that unless [...]

This maybe the most beautiful photo I have ever taken of Sharon or anybody else, something just so perfect about it.Sharon is now at 36 weeks, we just need to make it one more week until we are cleared for a home birth. Although we do have one obstacle in our way that could stop [...]

He’s got my feet!
Well it has been a while since I last blogged, I am going to start blogging more as we get closer to the birth of our first (and last :) child, Noah. I just think if for no other reason than for him to read someday, I should start documenting his [...]

It has been quite a while since we had taken a road trip, well in our terms :) It felt to get back out on the road, but it was no in the CruiseMaster as we are weighing some heavy issues about how “green” the big RV is. And also to put it bluntly, we [...]
