Blogging Business

I am not a writer.  A talker, an emailer, and definitely a texter...but a writer I am not.  That being said, I have wanted to blog for a long time.  For many reasons, really. First, I have 2 children and live in SC while the rest of my family lives in Texas, Florida, Virginia and other places.  Obviously blogging would be a great way to keep anyone who's interested in us updated.  Second, my 2nd son Nathan was born with something called Elis Van Creveld Syndrome, and was most recently diagnosed with Growth Hormone Deficiency. So, while he's already almost 3 and I have some catching up to do as far as posting about his birth and growth since then, I wanted to blog NOW so I can have record of our Drs appts, and our progress and also keep the family/friends informed without typing/texting/saying the same things over and over.  Not that I mind one bit talking about my kids :)

I didn't want to name this blog "Nathan's blog" or "EVC" or anything that was strictly related to Nate, because I have 2 children, not just 1. Logan is 9, and he's a fantastic kiddo!  He's kind, tenderhearted, and hardheaded.  He's into many different things...theatre (He played Tiny Tim in the Christmas Story last Christmas!), action heroes, guns, movies...a very active boy.  He's never stopped moving from the very minute I felt him flutter in my stomach.  I'm not exaggerating!

It took us 5 years to commit to having another child.  Logan was spirited, and was not a sleeper!  But, my next one would sleep because I was armed with great information about sleep, routines eating, etc...of course everything goes out the window with a baby in NICU!  More on his birth later...  Nathan will be 3 in Sept and he's just as spirited as Logan ever was.  He's also more hardheaded!!!  But, that baby will melt your heart!  He's small for his age (EvC and GHD) but he has no idea that he's little.  He has the biggest personality!  And, he's very intelligent.  He was an early talker just like Logan.  My husband will tell you they get that from me.

When I get better at this blogging business, I'll start to add pictures.  I have a lot of catching up to do regarding Nathan, and that's a large reason why I've put off starting this blog....but someone told me just to start, and I can go back later.  So, here's my start.  :)
