Classic Hilton's

My daughter is amazing.  She has magical powers.  Ask her about it on any given day and I have no idea what crazy story she will give you.  But I know her powers lie in her imagination.  From the way she makes costumes out of nothing to the elaborate, nonsensical names she gives her daughter's and their sisters (who, interestingly enough are not also her daughters...hmm), she is unstoppable and quite frankly hilarious! My son is...what's another word for amazing?  At nearly two months old I can already see little bits of personality coming out.  The way he desperately wants more milk than his tummy can hold, and loves to snuggle before, during, and after a meal! The way he can sit so quietly in the corner while the world moves around him, but as soon as we've all left the room, he makes sure he's heard! And my favorite, the way he throws his hands up in the air, startling himself while he's sleeping, as if to say "What's the big idea?!?!" I...

Did I do the right thing?  Well, it's done now!  I've spent a lot of my time agonizing over this decision.  Three AM feedings are great for praying!!  I wanted so much to slam the door in their faces on my way out.  I wanted a safety net to step into.  I look back over everything that transpired since I was initially put on bed rest, 12/31/2010, and I know without a doubt that I was treated unfairly and yes, discriminated against.  Unfortunately I can't prove it.  But even if I could, I no longer have the heart to put up a fight.  God has softened me and reminded me that He will give me the justice that they will not.  He has reminded me that He is my safety net; our Provider.   Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on.  Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither so...

I cannot believe he is already one month old!  Weighing in at 8.8 lbs and 20.5 inches, he is a healthy, happy little Hilton! He is starting to look more chunky and baby like (as opposed to that newborn look where they are so tiny and fragile looking!) He's a good eater, and a fairly content child.  He recognizes our voices and lights up when he hears or sees Brooklyn. This morning he had a sweetly spontaneous smile just for her! I get smiles too sometimes, even if I am only half awake to see them! It's so funny.  It doesn't matter if I've been holding him for hours on end and I'm exhausted and ache; when I put him down or in someone else's arms, it only takes a few minutes for me to "miss" him and want him back.  Of course, I don't act on this selfishness. There is plenty of Grayson love to go around! :0) Brooklyn seems to have adjusted well.  She adores her baby brother and is a very willing helper to her tired mommy. She does have a tendency ...
