Ode to Mine Weaning Breast


Please do not stare at my chest;
I'm a weaning mother, and I need my rest

From the suckling Peanut friend;
It's time for your sippins to come to an end.

Thrush, engorgement, mastitis times three-
Please know what I have endured for thee!

Yet how can I deny my precious babe
Of that which is his ultimate fav?

I'll give you a kippins of milk from a cow;
Please do not think I don't love you now!

A wee bro or wee sis you want, we know;
You must stop nursing, so it can grow.

Twelve months of milk and snuggles for you;
Though mommy is sad, she'd like to be through.

Please do not stare at my chest,
When I have weaned and have wee breasts.

Before my babe they were so nice,
But nursing is worth the sacrifice!

Happy 1st Birthday!


One Year Ago:
One last walk on Galveston Island, just 2 weeks before the hurricane.

Delivery Day: 41 Weeks Preggy- Sorry Asher, we're dragging you out!

Our new Peanut.

Asher turned 1 year old on September 22!
Mommy, Daddy, and Asher celebrated by going to State and Allen Lounge for dinner, one of our Dallas favs! Asher enjoyed some chicken, pita, and hummus, and Mommy helped him use a fork like a big boy. We had a wonderful evening walk to dinner in the cool weather, such a nice, peaceful way to be together.

To Asher- What a blessing you are to raise! You have brought us so much joy during this last year of trials. We love you!
Asher is a Hebrew name meaning "happy" or "blessed". He really is a happy and blessed little boy.


Asher's Buckaroo Birthday Party
Sweet, sick birthday boy. He definitely was not himself but held it together pretty well for the party. Thanks, buddy. Family and friends helped us celebrate Asher's 1st, buckaroo-style, at my grandmother's house in College Station on Sunday.

He poked around on the cupcake but didn't eat a thing. :(

Here's a smile!

Looking like a real little buckaroo!

Banana layer cake and cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Don't forget the Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla ice cream! Yum!

Other items on the menu:
Rudy's BBQ
Mimi's Mac 'n' Cheese
Tortilla chips and salsa
Chickfila diet lemonade (awesome)
Bottled root beer
Assorted Hershey kisses

All the children of The Triangle plus spokes (will explain in future post) together at last! How many more will there be???

Nasty Virus
Poor Asher! He has had a rough week after picking up some nasty virus causing him to vomit all night then get an ear infection and nasal congestion and losing a whole pound of body weight in the process! He now weighs less than he did at 10 months old! Good thing he had plenty of fat to spare. We almost canceled his birthday party, and probably should have in retrospect since we passed the virus around my family. However, except for Asher being sick, the party was a success!

Not a Baby Anymore


I do not have a baby anymore. I have a big boy who can walk. I am going to cry.
