Nolan Eason

At 1:03AM on Friday, March 30, 2012 my first child was born - a son. We named him Nolan Eason. 21" long, 5lb 3oz. He was beautiful and perfect in every way, except that he was stillborn. As we searched for answers to his untimely death, we also searched for comfort. This blog was created as a way of working through my sorrow by trying to find something beautiful in the world each day. Hopefully, along the way it will help others to heal as well.

Chili Days

Marsh had eye doctor appointment at 8:15 this morning. I got up when he left and went to Zumba at the Y with Karson. So far this week I've been doing good about attending Zumba even with Marshall home. On the way home I stopped by the grocery store to pick up stuff to make chili since it was cold and rainy. I knew we probably wouldn't want to do much today but stay at home and snuggle up on the couch, so I figured chili in the crockpot for dinner would be an excellent idea.

I came home, put the chili in the crockpot and showered so I could put my PJs on. I was hungry so since I was making dinner, Marshall made me a grilled cheese for lunch. He had it all ready for me the moment I stepped out of the shower. I was very impressed with him. After I ate, Marshall wanted me to go with him to Mayfair so he could get a sensor tag taken off his new pants he bought this morning at the mall. I agreed to ride with him if he would get me a decaf coffee while we were out. We ended up taking JoJo with us because she threw such a fit to come. Since it was cold outside and I would be sitting in the car with her, we figured why not. While we were at Mayfair, he also went in to Time Warner and scheduled to have them come out and run a cable line to our nursery and to upgrade our modem. After getting our coffees, we came home to lounge around the rest of the day.

Dad came over for dinner and to hang out for awhile. We got sucked in to watching the history channel - Pawn Stars. It was my first time making chili in the crockpot and it turned out really good. I'm liking the crockpot more and more. I just need some more recipes for it. I have a feeling the crockpot is going to come in really handy when the baby is here as it takes the time and effort out of cooking. You just have to plan more in advanced is all.
