One Month


My Sweet Princess, 

One month, how did that happen? There's a Winnie The Pooh quote that states "Oh no, please. Can't we just go back to page one and start all over again?", and sweet baby that is exactly how I feel. Oh how I would love to go back to day one and meet you all over again, and yet I cannot wait to see who you become. 

You currently look just like your daddy, especially with your beautiful almond shaped eyes. Your hair is a light brown, but I believe everyone still has their fingers crossed that you will end up with red hair like your daddy (though I would be okay with a brown haired little girl). Your eyes my sweet girl are blue, I believe they are my eyes (but who knows). Your eyes have changed from sleepy eyes that look like they are looking through you to these big blue eyes that are filled with wonder. My favorite moments are when you are lying on my chest and you turn and look up at me. In those moments I feel like you know exactly who I am, and with those big eyes you are telling me you love me too. I love to look over while lying in bed and see you cuddling with your daddy. In fact you love to be cuddled by daddy, especially when you are upset. You don't really love being washed, except for your baby locks. You love having your head rubbed and rinsed out. You haven't taken a bath in your tub, but have taken a bath with mom. Because of mom's c section we had to do sponge baths up until Monday, December 19th and then you took a bath with mom. You are growing slowly but surely and at your one month appointment you weighed 7 lbs 4 oz, you are just my littlest little. You are still fit perfectly in newborn clothese, in fact most of them are still much to big for you. Which is perfectly okay because mom keeps buying you more clothes that you will probably grow out of to fast. You haven't actually smiled, but you have smirked in your sleep or a few times just to yourself. These little smirks make me so excited to see your smile responses to our voices and our lives, because there will be plenty of reasons to smile your way through life. You have been visited by grandmas and grandpas, cousins, and friends, and princess let me tell you, you are loved! 

As I said in the beginning, I would love to go back to day one and meet you all over again. You have changed our world, and I cannot wait to see who you become. You are seem to be filled with wonderment and I can't wait to see where that takes you. You are already so hard headed (wonder where you got that... me) which I love because I know it will take you far. You are a daughter of the king and I pray you never forget that. You are perfect in every way and I adore you. Thank you for being mine!

Eloise's Health This Month
  • For the first two weeks of your life you battled a bit of jaundice which kept us at the doctor's every other day. After December 6th you were cleared of your jaundice and were finally putting on weight. You weren't gaining weight very quickly, but your doctors are okay with that. Other than that you are perfect my princess. 
Thank you Eloise Jeanne for the best month of my life, I look forward to growing with you!

Learning Curve

As I sit here this morning trying to put all the words that are in my head onto this paper I am having a hard time coming up with the right way to describe what I am hoping to change/do with this blog in this new season of my life. See writing has always been a passion of mine , but finding the time , finding the bravery , and just doing it is where I have struggled. I have kept this blog as more of a personal place where I write about what life is like as a Wilson here on Dusk Way , but over the years I have had dreams of making it into more of a lifestyle blog . I have so many passions and thoughts that run through my head on a daily basis but fear has held me back time and time again. Fear of not being a successful blogger , fear of what friends and family would think , and most of all fear of letting myself down . But now it is time to put that fear aside and just write, so hopefully this blog will be going through a learning curve . Ideally this blog will move from...

My Side Of That Horrific Day

Today is September 1st which in it of itself brings so many wonderful things. The start of football, which is just absolutely perfect, the start of pumpkin spice everything, and the start of Spinal Cord Injury Awareness month. This month is something that honestly up until four years ago I had no idea existed, but four years ago we joined a very rare club and our lives have looked different since. Over 200,000 people live with a SCI in the United States and Kaleb is just one of them. The next month my goal is to share my side of Kaleb's injury, Kaleb's side of his injury, the road to recovery, and where we are today.  November 10th 2012, the day our world changed forever. This was one of those days that I will remember every moment, every detail, and every emotion. I had just turned 21 five days prior and was still living in the birthday celebration glow. That morning was busy with trying to get things done through out the day so that I could head to a family member's ho...

It's Okay to Not Be Okay

How often do we go through life pretending that everything is great; we post only the best photos, we smile when we would rather cry, and we float through life faking it the best we can. We run into friends at church on Sunday mornings and chat about how wonderful we are and how great everything is, but we leave out the fact that all we could really use is a hug and a gentle reminder that it's perfectly okay to not be okay. In fact the crazy part of it all is it's perfectly normal to go through life with emotions, heck Jesus himself felt emotions. I'm sure we all remember when he got mad in the temple and flipped the table, well in that moment he wasn't okay. As a new mom still adjusting to this wonderful world of motherhood I find myself not okay pretty often. I'm either exhausted because the baby didn't sleep or because the baby nursed all day, or I'm feeling a little lost trying to rediscover my role as Brittany, or I'm just a little anxious becaus...
