I have so much to catch up on. I still don’t know how to blob on a real computer so please enjoy this phone post with it’s glorious phone pictures. Please note that Jake has offered to teach me how to blob for reals every day and every time I’ve been like “I’d rather watch old 90210 eps, but thanks”. I think I’ll take him up on it soon enough.
Here is a dainty list of things I want to blob about:
~new babies. Asher, Penelope and Clover. My arms smiled at the mention of their names because they thought they were going to get to hold them. Sorry arms.
~family pictures.
~snow shoe-ing in waist deep powder. My butt and thighs burn just typing it.
~marley. We took a few glamour shots of her in cedar city. Only a few though because she thinks the camera is a weapon.
~bowling. And me taking last place.
~kolob. southern Utah is beautiful.
~visitors. Linda, Aubrey, Jamie and Jessica (pictured) came to see piper Jane and jon and kat came to see me and jake. Luckies (us).
~alice and wonderland. Was awesome.
~running club. Jake and Becca started a running club and we have uniforms that make us look fast and scary.
See? Behind. Real behind.
Above is Jessica and Pippy. They got lucky because these pics were on my phone. Jessica is a childhood friend from Tennessee. We have been friends for like 20 years. Woah, that sounds like a lot. She has been living in South America for a year and a half so she hadn’t seen me and the Pip since her 1st birthday. Now that she is in Oak Ridge again im hoping to see her more often. She has family and college friends in town so I felt very privleged to have a whole morning with her. Hooray!
Ok, I have a lot of work to do on the blob. Help, Jake!
Love, reags.
ps yesterday Jessica and I took the pip out of school early because she was falling asleep in the middle of class! Haha. The patch is doing some crazy things to her. At least she seems to be feeling better. But also can’t you tell how tired it makes her? She always looks tired. Poor little thing.

I was being really dramatic last night when I published that post. Sorry to be annoying. Right now i’m blobbing from a wordpress app on my phone(which I clearly know how to use). But I cannot figure out the real life-sized way to blob on my computer. I have all these awesome pictures to post along with stories about Utah, and I spent (wasted) about infinity years last night working on it for no nothing. Anyway, Jake will teach me soon and it will be ok. I was really just pouting last night.
I’m with piper right now and she is killing me (the good kind). So, bye!

Hi, this is actually Jake (Reagan’s husband), not Reagan. Apparently Blogger.com is no longer allowing the option to use their client to publish via FTP. Because of this (and because we don’t feel like Blogger’s hosting is that stellar), Reagan is now switching publishing clients. For those clicking through from external links, or coming directly to Reagan’s Blob, there will be no difference.

jake and i had a nice long pip-filled day. we both had some work projects this afternoon, so we tried to get to b-dale a little early to cram in some good times before we go to utah this week. are you ready? here is the stunner…piper jane wasnt a total spas case. i know, right? apparently, they had been weening a little too quickly, and that was part of the reason she was being such a terror (i mean that in the nicest loving mother way possible). so, they are going to go slower. today was the best visit i’ve had with pipsey in over a month. she still wasn’t very smiley or playful, but she also wasn’t abusive or irritable. that’s all right, because thankfully, i have a lot of really adorable pip smiles previously caught on camera to get by until i can get some more live action ones.
since i had a thing to go to, i couldn’t risk getting formula leaked all over me (it happens. and it happens a lot) from pip’s g-tube, so at first i refused to hold her. i told jake that since i could see her on tuesday, he could have her. eventually, i got jeal. it worked out because jake had to leave the room and he handed my pipsqueak over to me. by the way, let me interrupt to say that i regularly take naps in piper’s crib. the thing is huge. it’s really not that weird. i mean, it’s not that weird to me. other people kind of make a big deal about it…not at b-dale…and one previous hospital person was like “get out”. anyway, that explains these pics. back to the story, jake handed my pipsqueak over and she immediately laid down with me. something she doesn’t usually do. i melted like butter on a hot skillet.
camille, if you are reading, piper likes the kitty cat a lot. the only reason
i’m using it as a pillow, was because my head needed to be just a little higher. and kitty did the trick.
pip can be very
snuggly, but then she always ruins it by putting her finger all the way up your nose. or by trying to pull of your eyelashes.
yay, a good day!
i’m so happy! like i said, we are going to
utah on
wednesday, and we have started getting nervous to leave because of piper’s slow recovery. today helped a little with that.
i had to post this too. mainly, because jake is a babe and piper likes to tap his huge watch.
anyway, it was nice to see a tiny glimpse of my little peep. it has been a very difficult month without her sassy sass. i feel like i’ve lost my mojo too. my last few posts were booorrrriiiiiiing. i might as well have been talking about the Pythagorean theorem. <-i can hardly remember what that is, but it is my favorite thing to whip out at times like this…..
ps, when i am in piper’s crib and she isn’t, it totally throws her off. i’m talking, it realllllly confuses her. you should all do it to your kids and see how they react.

This is a picture of the time pippy fell asleep sitting up today. Something I have never ever ever ever ever seen her do. Ever..
I haven’t been blobbing about pip much, because nothing has really changed. It is really wearing in me. I’m sure she is hating it too. I’m tired of this and in tired of not looking forward to our visits. She’s just not herself, and it’s hard to witness. I leave Blythedale with a broken heart and a scratched up neck, but at least she now has a med patch that keeps her more relaxed. Good thing.
As far as we know, this is all still related to the several weeks of high dose paralytic/sedatives. Im getting impatient. I just want to have my piper back.
So hard. So sucky. So sorry to be mad at the world right now.
Bye, love ya.

Jake and I met 5 years ago today. It wasn’t long after that the canoodling began. We were pretty smitten with each other pretty quickly. A few weeks after we started dating, I went to Barbados for a week and I couldn’t believe how much I missed and thought about him. When I got back to America I had some very sweet text messages from him that he had been thinking about me too.
Barf this is cheesey! Anyway, I love Jake so much. I snagged him from at least 4 girls who were in love with him and without even blinking. *rubbing hands together evil-ly* he was definitely the one doing the courting, so I guess I got lucky. Yay for 5 years of knowing my soul-mate!
ps maid of honor, woohooo! I’m so excited.

february is short enough that i can hog the whole thing i think. my birthday was thursday, but we went out on saturday so we could do a whole day of a date.
we started out at the brooklyn flea market. it’s the best in nyc.
they have it in this old bank during the cold winter, however, it felt as cold inside as it did outside. we kept our gloves/coats/scarves on.
the building is gorgeous.
all pics courtesy of my jake
sifting through raggedy old coats. i am cool with the overpriced vintage clothes on ebay/etsy, because it is a huge adventure to find something pretty and in good condition.
in the basement vault, there are a bunch of local food vendors. we had gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches and soup. i love sandwiches and soup.
i only bought a gift for a friend, but my favorite thing about fleas are just browsing the old stuff. i love to see things that i had growing up. jake and i showed each other rotary phones, pencil sharpeners, chairs, lunchboxes, clothes and dishes the we had in our childhood homes. it’s fun to remember.
then we went to the ballet. are you curious why i still don’t do my hair even when i’m doing something fancy? it’s because i only like doing
other people’s hair. like my client who plays the flute for the NYC ballet. he got us amazing tickets to sleeping beauty. we were front row so i got to see down in the orchestra pit. it was fun to watch him wail on the flute during his solos. pretty talented…
the lincoln center theaters are so beautiful. i love my birthday date.
sleeping beauty was so great! it was pretty cool being so close that we could hear their point shoes shuffling about the stage. during the performance i realized that i weigh more than everyone on the stage. combined. haha.
i guess 26 wont be so bad. i’m looking forward to another great year with my baby and my baby’s daddy. hooray!
also, i was asked to be the maid of honor at an upcoming (2011)best friend’s wedding. i have never been so excited in my whole life. whole. life.

I was kind of hoping that by going back to Blythedale everything would be back to normal, so It’s been kind of a frustrating week. Piper Jane is experiencing some hefty withdrawls. We were warned by her doctors that she would, but I was hoping it would be more minor and less possessed child. I feel so bad for her that she has to go through this.
Just like we were warned, pipsqueak is: irritable, fidgety, clammy, aggressive, restless and anxious. One minute she will be holding still in my arms and the next she is trying to jump off my lap, hitting/kicking me in the face, pulling my shirt (and bra) down to my naval, crying, pulling my hair, climbing up my neck, back-bending over the arm of the rocking chair and pushing me away from her. seriously, like she is possessed. The last few visits have been nothing short of exhausting. I don’t really think she has much control over herself right now, and I know she’s not feeling well, so I really hope this is the worst of it and that she can be herself again soon. Especially because we are both going bonkers at the moment. Also, I am tired of getting beaten up.
*update* you are all way too kind to not point out “withdrawals”..where did tht come from? Hehe
