Milieu of Me

So yesterday morning, I was half asleep.  The boys woke me up and I grabbed my pillows and headed downstairs.  On the second stair I totally biffed it, and skidded down the rest of the flight on my back.  My husband hilariously started yelling, “OH MY GOD, OH MY GOD!” Which made the baby cry, [...]

Then told me my beta is above 2000 which is great. Then she asked if [...]

Anyway - tonight [...]
