I decided to start blogging about Jordan from the moment I found out I was pregnant. Jordan was born with a little arm that didn't grow like most babies. Her left arm stopped just above the elbow. Now I'm committed to making sure Jordan gets everything out of life. We feel blessed to be the parents of a very special little girl.

Emotional drama

So I forgot to make the biggest announcement: The crazy overly emotional pregnant Jen is back.

Here's the story: Dudley ran away. He didn't just run up the street, he ran into the woods and I couldn't find him for 30 minutes. That's when I lost it and had to call Randy to help. I started thinking about what life would be without Dudley and I didn't like the picture.

So we drove all over the place. I started showing pictures of Dud to neighbors. Then I just about gave up and went back home.

I had left a bowl of food in the back yard... So I picked it up and shook it around. And who comes running through the woods? Dudley.

That's not a big deal, right? Well even if I had gotten upset about that without a pregnancy... With this baby, I couldn't let it go. I was burnt for the rest of the day. All kinds of other topics set me off for the rest of the day. My eyes were all red and swollen all day. I got weepy during my drive to work. It sucked.

The funny thing was how wonderful Randy was about it all. He told me I have to deal with the physical challenges of pregnancy... While he has to deal with my crazy emotions. He's been through it before... And he's wonderful to understand and remember enough to just pat my hand and smile. Good guy. I love him.
