We haven't seen Rebecca since the last week of May. This week things that have been spiraling out of control with her and have hit an all time low. I fear they will go lower though. There is so much going on that I can't write about it, I don't know how to explain it [...]

8 Weeks Post Partum
I believe everyone will have a different experience with a newborn in their home. Some things will come easier to some than others, some moments will be better for some than others and some will have more hurdles than others. It doesn't make you a better parent than the next, it just makes it [...]

To begin Rebecca's story start here. There are moments that happen in your life and you have no idea they are life changing moments. I have learned that is for the better. When you sit in that life changing moment and KNOW it is happening, it can be so much worse. You are changing the course [...]
