The Mama Sparrow

Have their empty water bottles in the stroller/wagon or in a side pocket of their bags if possible so you can easily grab it. 2) Fill up water bottles with water form the drinking fountains, or better yet at an airport restaurant, beforehand. Airplanes have dry recycled air, everybody gets thirsty, it can take awhile to get water from the stewardesses , and the water is usually gross. If traveling with a newborn or tougher baby, I’ve learned it’s a good idea to pack an extra shirt for me in my purse/ diaper bag in case of blowouts, throw up, or nursing leaks.

She’s going, she’s going, she’s gone! A story of legend in the book told of a rich man who came to visit the cathedral while it was being built, and he saw a workman carving a tiny bird on the inside of a beam. The writer of the book went so far as to say that no cathedrals could ever be built in our lifetime because there are so few people willing to sacrifice to that degree. When I really think about it, I don’t want my son to tell the friend he’s bringing home from college for Thanksgiving,

But the week had been long, our littlest had a fever all week, and we leave on Saturday for a week-long trip. So even though it was going to be a “good” time, we needed to rest even more. Our big girls were a bit bummed, so we compromised on making smores in the backyard, and going to see “Toy Story 4” for the second time. but that may not actually be producing life-giving fruit?

Thank God, I got pregnant between jobs, and he gave me the wisdom to tell what would have been my next job, that I just didn’t feel like it was the right thing for me. I was texting with my mom, sky’s mom, one of my best friends Cate, as well as our mentor/friend Cindy who was going to be a support person in my birth. I told them I was so happy they were there, and to get out 🙂 We had started around 1, but being that my epidural was wearing off, and I had no idea what I was doing, it took a llloooonnnggg time to push that baby out. like I really wanted, I had an epidural, I got to feel the pushing, it was a rainy cold day, and I got to listen to country music!
