For those of you who are keeping up with my life- I did give birth to a beautiful baby boy that we named Silas Orion Gallagher. Unfortunately, due to complications during his birth, he passed away 10 hours after he was born on Sept 25, 2008. We are so sad and devastated but are somehow getting through this with the support of loved ones. Both Chris and I are writing on his blog Elm City Dad to help us get through this. I also just started teaching again- the kids have been so sweet and are bringing that light back into my life. I do this for a reason and being able to get back to work that brings me such joy has been necessary. thanks for your supportxo

Full of Joy Baby!
Yes, its true, I’m now 12 weeks pregnant and couldn’t be happier. Watching my body change these last 3 months has been a pretty incredible experience. (Though not looking pregnant but just that I’ve gained weight is definitely something I’m struggling with). I’ve also been feeling the typical first trimester experiences like nausea, fatigue and having to go to the bathroom at least twice an hour. Its truly not easy to stay healthy when half of the food you really need to be eating makes you say “yeeuchhh” and turn away. At any given moment, something I ate just yesterday may just not sound appealing today. My husband finds it amusing and has pretty much been catering to my every need. He loves seeing me rest on the couch every night watching endless reruns of CSI. I just feel lazy and unmotivated but he assures me that its necessary for… Read More »
