Hopefully Sydney just accepted that she wasn't anywhere before she was born, but if it comes up again, there are several standard answers parents typically give: You were in my heart; you were a part of mommy and daddy but just not here yet; or you were in heaven. Sometimes all we can do as parents ...

Meghan, I'm so glad you posted the story of Rowan's birth. Although it may have been annoying to you in the beginning, I'm sure now that you would agree that taking Rowan earlier than planned was certainly for the best for you and for him. Pre-eclampsia is so dangerous. Mothers and babies both die f...

Dear Rowan, The name Rowan is Irish and means "Little Red One", after the Rowan Tree that has red leaves and red berries. That tells me that you will grow strong like a tree, but have a gentle heart. You don't know it yet, Rowan, but you have been born into a family who will love you unconditionally...

I received a text message on Friday morning from an unlikely person. It read, "Good morning, Nana. I'm Rowan James Michael Mulhern. 8 lbs 8 oz". I nearly dropped my cell phone. Within minutes Michael called to give me the details. I was so happy that I could hardly stand it. Mike was fishing down at...

A WONDERFUL VACATION IN CLEARWATER BEACH! It was an awesome vacation for Mike and I. We were invited to go along with Michael, Meghan and Sydney to Clearwater Beach, Florida for 5 days from September 9 through September 14th. Mike and I hadn't been on a vacation in so long, that we jumped at the cha...

This is absolutely the cutest video I have ever seen. Sydney is a little monkey, and obviously a natural at gymnastics. I love how the other little girl in the video follows Sydney's lead. So very cute.

Thanks for putting up the Christmas pictures. They are so good. Also, your forum is so much fun to read, especially since Dad and I can't be there often to see you guys and how Sydney is changing. She's definitely becoming her own little person. Very cute. I feel very good that Sydney chose ME for a...

Yes, I know I said we didn't need to send thank-you's for Christmas gifts we exchanged. This is a thank you, not only for the gifts, but mostly for making the trip to Litchfield and sharing your time with Dad and me for a few days. We certainly did enjoy having you, and I think Sydney was more comfo...

Happy Birthday Meghan. We hope your day has been a good one. Enjoy!

Love,
Mom & Dad

You may have a comedian in the making at your house. Sydney is so funny in things that she does (when she isn't beastly that is). I love the comments about the bat/cat. So cute. As for poop in the bathtub...it may not have happened yet, but beware. Been there...done that. Any parent that skips that ...
