What kind of Mom loses a baby book?

I am that Type A parent that writes in her kids baby books, and records every moment of their lives in her heart defining notebook.

 I~ apparently am the type of mom that losses so called heart defining book. I have cried for days. No really~ sobbed until tears stopped coming out. 

As many of you know, my family travels the country for my job which means we frequently move. Our last move a box got left behind somewhere. In that box was one of the most important material things I own......my journal. 

I have written down my contractions from labor, their first words, first steps, and all of their medical information like illnesses and surgeries. All for 4 children! It was my 5 yr olds, progress through speech therapy and the time he first said "Mama" at 24 months. I remember my heart melting to the ground, as the tears flowed from the overwhelming joy. 

More importantly, I wrote in the journal EVERY SINGLE DAY for 3 months as my daughter fought for her life in the NICU. It was the record of her struggles and triumphs. It was the feelings I had when I first saw her beautiful mouth without a ventilator tube. It was the anger and hopelessness I had when she stopped breathing. It was a list of all her cardiology appointments and therapy sessions. It was her growth. It is gone. Just gone.

I have called, and back traced. It is gone. All I can imagine now is my box rotting away with maggots in some landfill. OH THE AGONY!! 

I simply can not remember it all- hence why I wrote it all down. I can't remember the first time the fourth baby sat alone or said her first word. 

WHO DOES THAT????? 

Any experience or words of encouragement here?

Disney Planes is flying high!! #DisneyPlanes

When I first heard about the new Disney Planes movie, I honestly thought it was one of those mini clips they do. I mean, REALLY how could anything compare to the awesomeness of Cars?? I have been to Cars Land(behind scenes) in California and personally raced through Route 66 on the Radiator Springs Racer ride so my personal connection with the movie is strong :)

I am clearly more excited than the children to see the new Disney movie Planes which will be flying high on August 9th! Count me in~ it gets even better with a voice cast of Cedric and Dane Cook! Hello awesomeness!! Stay tuned for more information on the new movie!
