Babies Up!
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Tuesday, December 06, 2011
Our twin babies were six months old in November, and we celebrated. Half a year. We’ve made it half a year. Phew.
(We figure with two babies, we’ve done a full baby-year, so six months is like a first birthday in those terms.)
What’s even more exciting than our babies being six months is what they’ve newly started doing.
See that picture? It’s Linus on the left, Ambrose on the right, both of them... READ MORE
Another Duggar Baby
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, November 09, 2011
No doubt you’ve heard the latest announcement from the Duggar’s: baby number 20 is on the way!
I saw snide comments all over my twitter feed yesterday and felt compelled to write something positive about this situation.
While Paul and I are not called to have 20 children, it seems to me (based on zero first-hand knowledge of course but on watching the show here and there) that the Duggar’s are handling... READ MORE
Which Came First?

We had a chicken costume in 3-6 months size, and we have two babies, so what could we do but make an egg?
Actually, I wasn’t planning on dressing the babies up at all, since basic non-frivolous tasks take all my energy these days. Kids demand costumes, but babies don’t care, so why bother?
But we only have two babies once. One chance to make a hilarious double costume so we can enjoy the photos for... READ MORE
Babymooning and Catholic Media

On this week’s episode of the Faith & Family Live Cast (click here to listen or click on the player above), Kate rejoins Danielle and me for the first time since the birth of her precious son Thomas to share how she’s been adjusting to life with her first son (amidst his three sisters). We share a great chat on taking the breaks necessary to focus on our families, our physical well being and our spiritual... READ MORE
Cleaner Heads

Blaise was hospitalized with respiratory illness as a newborn. When he got stuffed up, a nurse would bring in a tube and hook it to the vacuum port on the wall, then efficiently suck all the, uh, stuff right out of his head. I watched and wished we had something similar at home. The standard bulb syringes are nearly useless.
We struggled through the colds of Blaise’s babyhood with the bulb syringe... READ MORE
The Results of Your Prayers
Posted by DariaSockey in News on Monday, September 19, 2011
Introducing Harald Anthony Martin Mathie, my first grandchild. The one I asked prayers for just about two weeks ago when he was delivered at 28 weeks’ gestation.
Baby is doing very well. He’s been breathing on his own right from the start, and seems to resent the c-pap oxygen feed, frequently pulling it off as if to say, “I don’t need this thing!” It will probably be removed in another week or so,... READ MORE
It's the Simple Things
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, September 14, 2011
My babies are mesmerized by it. My big kids love to drag it around. It’s fun and it’s pretty, and just when we parents might be starting to get tired of it, it’s time to throw it away.
This miracle toy? A simple helium balloon.
We discovered the appeal of a balloon when we got one as a treat for Camilla during Blaise’s babyhood. He was a few months old and he couldn’t take his eyes off it. For weeks,... READ MORE
Urgent Prayer Request
Posted by DariaSockey in News on Monday, September 05, 2011
I’d like to impose on all you wonderful, faith-filled women for some prayers today for my first grandchild, who will be born in the next few hours, by c-section, at only 28 weeks’ gestation.
My daughter Bernadette has already been in the hospital on bedrest for the last month following loss of amniotic fluid. Due to some contractions and a high white blood count, the doctors have decided that this little boy will now be better off on the outside of Mom. Please pray for a safe delivery of a healthy baby. Thank you in advance.
Scaredy-Cat Mom

Here’s a strange phenomenon I’ve never seen addressed in print.
I used to adore flying.
Now it terrifies me, and the transition pre-dates 9-11.
I have lucid memories of a turbulent collegiate flight to Europe that terrified many of my seat-mates, but didn’t bother me.
Perhaps I was just too motion-sick to be afraid, but I’m temperamentally pragmatic and tend to weigh probabilities more than worst-case... READ MORE
