Journey Rose is now over twice her birthweight! Born 765 grams (1 lb 11 oz), she’s now 1535 grams (3 lb 6 oz). She’s also just over 15″ (born just over 12″). How do the Boudreaus celebrate beautiful baby’s growth? We thank God while Journey sleeps. Precious.

Well, I just moved back into my own room, an isolation room, due to positive test results for MRSA / staph infection last week.

Baby Journey loves snuggling with her doll. It smells like Mom. She sleeps with it and brings it back to the NICU.

Lots of tears shed over this precious one today. I sometimes feel panicky about the future, and I just ache and miss her being with me all the time. It catches up to me in my sleep. Nightmares.

My Mom is one of my best friends. I think I can tell her anything. We’ve laughed a lot over the last ten years as our relationship has grown very strong and deep.

It’s a New Year. New Beginnings. The best thing about anything new is the feeling of having another chance with it. New car? “Sweet. I’ll keep it clean this time.” A new relationship? “I’ll be sure to always assume the best and give more than I receive.” A new job? “This time I’m going to ROCK.”

I’ve been tempted quite a bit to fixate on what’s ‘lacking’ this Christmas season. Caught myself in the act several times over the past week…Okay, more like over and over and over. Yet so much has been given to me. How dare I suggest it’s not enough?

I realized something obvious today. The Alzheimer’s battle isn’t really his anymore. It’s hers. She cleans, leads, makes tough decisions, and manages someone who used to be strong.

Seniors bring it all to life again. It’s beautiful. Every conversation. Talk to them. Record it. It’s a way to honor them, by remembering all the little (and big) memories you shared.
