Why gaining 18lbs in 11 months isn’t bad for everyone …
On September 3, our mighty Quinn will be 1. He was IUGR, which I feel is important to note because when my 20 week ultrasound indicated a growth restricted baby I could not find much good news about this condition online. He was born at 26 weeks gestation, weighing 480 grams (1 lb. even).
He is perfectly healthy, smiley, amazing, and like all children, miraculous.
The name loloINK stemmed from a need to honor my Grandma Lois, who, as I type this, is sitting in a blue chair, half in this world, half out. My relationship with her, with my paternal Grandma Jean, and my own mother have inspired the things I think, draw, and write about. I am the mom of four, wife to one, teacher to many. I like lemons and pies, cozy things, dogs, stories, sharp pencils, and the smell of my husband's studio. Visit me at etsy or on Twitter and all places in between. I'm glad for the cyber company.
