Many Reasons to be Thankful

We are very thankful that we are about to move into a townhouse apartment! Our new address for the next five months:
Seth & Sarah & Kitter
399 Mendelsohn Ct.
Wheaton, IL 60187
We are also thankful that we get to spend Thanksgiving with Sarah's parents & brother (the first T-giving with them in our marriage) as well as Sarah's dad's side of the family in California. We take off tomorrow morning and will eat the turkey a few days late. When we come back, we will move into our apartment, unpack, and hopefully stay put for awhile! We are very thankful for all our friends and family who have loved us, supported us, prayed for us, and helped us. We have been very blessed, and we are thankful that God blesses us even when we've done nothing to deserve it. We hope you all have a great holiday and enjoy time with your loved ones.
((Sarah is READY for the all-Christmas music radio stations. Bring it on!!))

Gray Day

I think it might have actually been sunny today, but since I was homebound for the day (I wasn’t feeling well and Allie was fussy last night/today so we stayed home from church in case we are getting sick), but it sure feels like a gray day to me. I’m still struggling with nursing issues. The short version is that is has been determined (after much, much ado that exhausted all of the lactation consultants’ ideas) that I am not making enough milk. That, combined with the slow let downs I’ve mentioned before, means that Allison won’t nurse. And even if she would nurse, there isn’t enough milk for her. So I am using an electric pump to get out the milk that is there, feeding her that in a bottle, then giving a supplemental bottle of soy-based formula (because we think she may have a milk sensitivity; I am off of dairy, as well). Meanwhile, I am getting blocked milk ducts almost every day (a painful but temporary issue that goes away after a few hours or a few days with heat packs, pumpi...

New York City 10th Anniversary Trip: PART 1

Image
To celebrate our first decade of marriage, Seth and I decide to take a trip to NYC. Neither of us had ever really spent time there and it was something we’d been hoping to do for a few years. My parents graciously agreed to come watch our children while we went on a 4 day/4 night adventure together. It’s been several years since our last big travel adventure (Europe trip in 2008), so we were a little rusty but we quickly got into the swing of things and had a great, busy, exhausting, fun time together. I wanted to record everything because I’m well aware of how short my short-term memory lasts. So this is a record of what we did, what we saw, and, as importantly, what we ate. Our eating philosophy was “more less is more,” meaning we wanted to try smaller amounts of more things (especially quintessential NY things like a bagel, cheesecake, a hotdog, Brooklyn pizza, etc.), so we snacked our way through the city rather than sitting down to full meals and then tried to walk off all those d...
