hello? is this thing on??

yeah i'm blogging. i've got some perspective i thought someone might be trying to hear.

cos i was a mom.
then i wasn't a mom anymore.
but now i'm a mom again.

the paudie chronicles is about our baby, paudie. it might end up being a study in minutia and that's okay. cos paudie is the most fascinating person i know - and he's only four months old. he's the reason i'm typing this and not rocking the fetal position in a dark room.

we lost our first son at 7 months of age to cancer. (yes, babies get cancer.)

but the joy he brought us in those 7 months far outweighed the pain of his diagnosis, treatment and death, which all happened in only a 7 week period. the pain was significant. ridiculous. so that just tells you the extent of the joy he was responsible for. which is why we tried again.

so this blog is about motherhood (parenthood if my husband wants to get in on it), take 2.
