Mr. Bunny's End

Meet Mr. Bunny:
I have had Mr. Bunny for as long as I can remember. I'm pretty sure I got him when my family lived in France, in which case I have had him since kindergarten. Did any of you hold on to your stuffed animals for so long? Am I alone in the world?

Anyways, my mom brought Mr. Bunny out with her when she came to visit for my graduation just barely. He is so tattered and worn out now that he actually looks pretty gross to be honest. His beatings come from nothing but love though. He's been cut open, patched up, slobbered on, and snuggled with. Jayce and I decided to take a few photos with him and then toss him. (So much for love and tenderness, right?)

Needless to say he and Cameron were the best of buds for a few moments in time. As I was walking from the bedroom to the kitchen trash can I couldn't believe that I actually started to feel sad about throwing him away. I instinctively started to cradle him in my arms-no joke. Hahaha, isn't that just ridiculous?! I felt just like Andy in Toy Story 3 when he finally gets rid of Woody! I actually had to resist feeling like Cid as I opened the trash can. I must be a little sick in the head. Here's to the memory of Mr. Bunny! What a good rabbit you turned out to be. :-)

Welcome to the World Aiden Titus

Image
Something big arrived in the Porter Family early in the morning on September 29! He's big, he's blonde, and he has kisses all over his chunky cheeks...welcome to the world Aiden Titus Porter!  He was my second largest baby weighing in at 8 lb 10 oz, his abundance of blonde hair is reminiscent of Cameron, he's the 17th grandchild on the Porter side and the 14th on the Terry side and he came into the world fast and furious like his next-older brother, Spencer. He also completes the Porter basketball team. Summer Olympics 2032, here we come! Now where's a coach?    The Story The week of my due date my goal was just to stay relaxed and not get fixated on when Aiden might/might not arrive. The "Anything happening in there?!" questions are always well meant (and I totally ask them of other preggos too, it's just too exciting when someone is about to deliver!) but they make me feel like I should have control over something I do...

Spencer's Birth Story

Image
After those last days of trying my hardest to push away the heightening anticipation of Spencer's arrival, he finally arrived two weeks ago today! Now those days seem so far away. It's amazing how quickly the tables turn. Your life seems to be building up to one particular moment for so long and then all of a sudden you're on the other side of that moment and it's like life has never been any different. Here is the last "belly picture" I took before his arrival and I only thought about it because my parents had requested one. The difference between the first and the fourth kid I guess. This was just a couple of days prior to his birthday. Well, for all of you birth story enthusiasts and for my posterity, here is the story if you so wish to read it. Fair warning: it's probably going to be long. I woke up on Monday morning with that "my due date was yesterday and now I'm just depressed that he's not here yet" feeling. I was a...

Mom's Gone

Image
My Mom died in the early hours of June 29 of complications from pneumonia. She was one month shy of her 67 th birthday. I’ll be processing everything from the morning of her death to the day she was buried for a long time. I’m so grateful that I was able to talk to my mom just two days before she passed. I had sat down at my computer after rocking Spencer to sleep and it was quiet time in the Porter house. My mind went blank as soon as I sat down and I relaxed, which is abnormal because I usually feel torn between doing ten things at once when I sit down to “get stuff done” during quiet time. So I thought, “Well, what should I do? It’s been a while since I talked to Mom...” When I asked her how she was she answered, “Well, actually not so good,” and she explained that she had just come home from the doctor’s office where she found out that she had pneumonia.   She filled me in on some details from her appointment and how she had been feeling recently. My mom has had and ...
