It's a bit of a sad day here today. Gabrielle and I are staying in Charlotte instead of taking the trip to Minneapolis to meet Jeffrey. It was advised by our doctor that it would be best not to take Gabrielle on the airplane at this time unless it's necessary because of the swine flu….

Monthly Archives: April 2009The most adorable baby fashions I have found are at Little Fashion Gallery. Shannon, WHEW! I thought this was what you had packed for your up coming trip! I hope you have a wonderful time travelling as a family. Lindsay Lohan is reading Jeffrey's Little Teal Book of Trust! SOURCE: Read this. And this. This is super exciting because I'm a celebrity gossip fan and typically stop by People.com to check out the celeb pictures daily! How fun to find that People picked it up too! And it's on the front page of US… I opine that to receive the loans from banks you ought to present a great motivation. Nevertheless, once I have got a secured loan, because I wanted to buy a house. GO JEFFREY! (and jessica….because i know you work just as hard editing his works!) Trust, without it you have and are nothing!! Trust to me is something that I require in every relationship that I have, w/o it, there is nothing. Trust is when you can know without a doubt that a person will always be there for you, you can count on them to do what they say. Trust equals safety for me. asking no questions and just knowing trust means that I can be myself. Trust is everything. We have nothing without it. Trust is fundamental to any and all relationships. This book is such a “life” book – one that I’ve recommended to others and have completely enjoyed reading. Trust is everything. Wow, that is cool! Trust is confidence, love and loyalty–in yourself and those you surround yourself with. WOW That is great for the book Jessica and hopefully some of it will sync in for Lindsay Lohan – she needs it! thi is so cool how cool! Awesome pics – that is great advertising! Trust is being able to be yourself fully — to give yourself fully and not feel vulnerable that you will be compromised in some way. Trust is everything. Without it, you have nothing. I was sort of laughing when I saw the pix – and I thought of how busy you are right now – and then to have this “fun” thing happen in celebrity news. Obv – I am a fan of the news, too or I wouldn’t have seen the pix. . For me trust is in God. If you don’t have that – what do you have?? I am a huge “fan” of trust. Without it I don’t think there’s much left to work with. I am so blessed that I have so people in my life that I have complete trust in — and they can expect that in me also. I would love to be the winner of this awesome sounding book. Thanks for the chance(ps-Gabrielle is just beautiful. I know you are moving every minute with her.) trust = unconditional listening I didn’t know she could read! JK! It shows she has substance! Jessica! that is really cool! go Jeffery! Yay for Jeffrey! It’s nice to know he is reaching all demographics trust means you can sleep peaceful at night, knowing someone is taking care of things. trust, to me, is about knowing that someone is honest, helpful and has your best interests at heart. it means that you can count on them, their word and their actions. That’s so cool. To me trust is completely believing without needing verification. Trust means, when having awakened from a dream that has become a nightmare, you try again. I just watched the clip on amazon of jeffrey talking about the book and he brings up several thoughts about trust that I never considered. When I think of trust, I think of consistency. I trust that my husband will always be there for me. Not just sometimes. Trust is what makes me content in my current position. My administrator trusts my judgement, he trusts that he hired me for a reason and lets me do my thing, he trusts me with the information I need to do my job well even if it would be considered confidential. Oh you must have been SUPER EXCITED to see that!!! trust to me means having an unconditional love between two people. i have finally found somebody that i can feel loves me unconditionally and i love him unconditionally, warts and all and the trust between us is beautiful. So cool! I love reading the celebrity gossip too. I wonder if I would have recognized the book on my own… Trust is something that grows over time, but also letting yourself feel the feelings & accept things for what they are. Trust is about being able to give yourself fully & letting your guard down in all aspects. I’m expecting a baby in June, so I’ve been particularly enjoying your blog lately. One thing my husband and I have been talking about is how this baby can and will change our relationship (good and bad). We’re trying to be completely realistic about it and trust is a recurring theme. So lately trust is knowing that the other has the best intentions for us as a new family. How cool for you and Jeffrey! I thought I was the only one that addicted to people.com. Ha, ha! trust is being able to not edit yourself when speaking and knowing that you will be heard and understood! that’s some good advertising! Cool…..But, tell the girl to put it down and EAT a sandwich! Ha! Glad I e-mailed this to you. I knew you’d get a kick out of it. thats pretty cool!!! Jeffrey has been in super travel mode, so having him home this weekend has been a total blessing. Gabrielle has been eating up every moment of him being here. This week Gabrielle and I will fly to meet Jeffrey in Minneapolis for our first family road trip! You’ve capture a beautiful moment. Gabrielle, is going to love this picture when she grows up. Are you going to update your, Where I’m traveling schedule? I can’t wait to see your post on your first flight with your little one. Take pictures when your boarding. Jessica!!! I love this picture of Gabrielle and Jeffrey! Have a great trip. I hope to see you again soon! It's another beautiful Charlotte day and I'm so happy to put on a little dress and head outside to feel the warm air. Love this dress from Gap and these shoes from J.Crew. Yummy Mommy you look so fabulous! Gabrielle and I have been taking lots of walks around our neighborhood.Just down the train (light rail) tracks is a great restaurant called PHAT Burrito. We've become frequent visitors. They have fast, delicious, super fresh food. I'm a fan of the soft tacos and the chips and guacamole. But I haven't heard anything bad about… That looks good!! I had forgotten yet another great thing about having a newborn….all those wonderful walks all over the neighborhood. Looks like you live in a great one:) We love the light rail and take it all the time. Enjoy the warmth – we are covered in a blanket of snow for the 3rd day and another few days of it. Oh my gosh, it is so warm there and it is only April! I can only hope it will get that warm here this summer. Stay cool. I'm definitely happy to be beyond the "pregnant" stage of having a little one. Although I didn't for one minute think of it as a negative time, I'm glad it's over! Here are some of the things that helped me survive the time… ZANTAC. It cured my heartburn instantly. I tried Tums, Rolaids, etc. None… Hey what flats are those? You know how I love flats Very cool that you documented what helped you get through it! I never thought of doing that after my kids a pregnancy mosaic – fabulous idea! thanks for the wicked list!! i’m 5 weeks right now and your list contains some very good advice! thanks! What an AWESOME way to capture your pregnancy memories (in this little collage)…I’m sure little Gabrielle will love hearing/seeing them when she gets older! one of my friends just turned me on to your site and it’s so great! it’s so fun to see you in your different clothes, and you DO NOT, by the way, look like you just had a baby. What a punkin – can’t wait to see you guys! Those cheeks are precious! One month old! Time goes by so quickly. As quickly as the time that you were my baby and now you have your own! What a great photo. So happy for you. Wishing you a little more sleep each night. Aww…such a sweet picture such peace… beautiful. Beautiful! I hope things are going smoothly!

{vicki} - Definatley the best decision!
Cath - One of the really fun Mommy things, these decisions. Sorry it did not go as planned. She is so gorgeous!
Camille - i just have to say i think she is probably one of the most beautiful babies i have ever seen!!!
hang in there mama~
Sue - Jessica, you made the right decision for now. It’s not worth taking a risk with either Gabrielle’s health or your own, as well. There will be many more trips for Gabrielle. I’m sure she will be a very well-travelled little girl! She is getting more beautiful in every photo!
Gina La Porte - Here’s a great link for face maskshttp://surgical-masks.com/ I heard on tv that numerous counties are already out of them. It’s just a little scare, but I’m keeping a YES! Attitude.
jenn - I actually thought about you the other day because I knew you were going to be traveling again soon. Sending you lots of light and love!!!

Gina La Porte - Jessica, I know how excited you were for both you Gabrielle to meet with Jeffrey, the decision you made as family is a really good. My father is a doctor, there’s a lot of sad things happening with the swine flu and affecting many adults and children. Through out, the United State hospitals and schools have been shut down for days and possible weeks. There will be future occassions, in which you wil be able to meet up now is not the best time for little Gabrielle to be on any airplane. My dad said, it will probably be like this weeks even possible months. Take care and I hope that Jeffrey stays well since he’s on super travel mode these days. If you get an opportunity you should buy him some face masks to have in case of an emergency along with santizing wipes.
These wipes are great my father gave them to us http://www.restockit.com/Purell-Hand-Sanitizing-Wipes-(GOJ9022-10).html
tami - i can imagine you had been looking forward to this trip for weeks after not being able to travel, I hope other trip will be planned for you soon
marit - oh!! Thats really sad! I was hungry to hear how it was on the first trip! But i think it was the best decision for you three!
we in germany say: keep your head up!
