Tastefully Simple...AGAIN
Same post as always (cut and paste is great, isn't it)
It's that time again...
Some of you know and others do not.....but I sell Tastefully Simple. I have been only selling the minimum per quarter (since Eva's diagnosis) just to remain a consultant because I like having the discount for myself and I hope and plan to get back up and running...someday (had a party scheduled this past week but needed more time to prepare so we rescheduled it).
We are approaching the end of another quarter, June 30th, and I am again needing more orders...crunch time! I need $264.31 in retail sales to make my goal or else...I'll be done selling and no longer a consultant. I am once again offering promotional discounts, which I cannot post here (too big of a discount to post here...I promise).
So if you like TS products, need a refill or are looking to purchase gifts, please email me! jane7doe7@aol.com (put TS or Tastefully Simple in the subject line). Orders can be shipped anywhere! And I can accept credit card/debit card payments! Never, ever, ever...is there any obligation. I just want to extend the offer and get the info out there. Thank you to all that have helped in the past and those of you in the future. ORDERS MUST COME THRU ME and NOT THRU THE TS WEBSITE.
BIGGEST DISCOUNT WILL BE OFFERED TO THE FIRST $264.31 IN ORDERS. I'M GIVING MORE OF A DISCOUNT THAN I HAVE IN THE PAST TO THOSE FIRST ORDERS UNTIL MY GOAL IS REACHED.
I hope to get back into the swing of in-home parties very soon. I have a trip coming up in October and I will need the extra cash flow. For those of you who live miles and miles away and who cannot do in home parties conducted by me...I am sure that we could do "a party to-go" or catalog party where I send you the minimum supplies needed and you collect the orders. Then you and I both will get the credit. Please contact me @ jane7doe7@aol.com if you are interested. Thanks!

Eva's Birthday Card...
It is very difficult to find a birthday card for a daughter who is no longer here, who resides in heaven. I was very blessed to have found the most perfect birthday card for my most perfect baby girl...
Here is the card that I purchased for Eva, for her birthday...it was first seen and mentioned in this post...

Update on us and a bit of someone elses story...
I've been wanting to post an update for some time now. But I find very little time to do so. When Dante sleeps, I sleep. Other than that I am holding him. I never really put him down. Not my choice, but his. I'm not complaining. Although, I feel horrible when I do try to take a few seconds to myself...to pee, eat, maybe...just maybe shower, start a load or switch a load of laundry, etc. Typing on the computer is hard to do w/ a 10 pound 6 ounce boy in your arms. Yes, I said typed that my almost 5 weeks old baby boy is a chunky monkey, porker, a tad bit beefy over 10 pounds! That said, nursing...is going extremely well, if I do say so myself.
I have tons to update on and today my not be that day. We've had an eventful past 5 weeks, obviously. I plan to update on the delivery, the two days at home, the re-admission due to the PE (pulmonary embolism aka blood clot in my lung), Eva's birthday, my visit to the ER, Eva's "Going to Heaven" day, doctor's appointments for myself and Dante, many activities w/ the our "older" children and my return to work...which was yesterday...which is, has been and eventually will be a story in and of itself .
Needless to say, it's been busy. Not too bad but very little time to blog. I try very hard to check in on everyone. It's easier to read w/ said 10 pounder in my arms than it is to type. Bare w/ me. I have intentions onsaying typing more about all the things listed above. I plan to post pictures, even if the words come later.
Dante is sleeping. I need to go to lab for the second blood draw this week. PCP is trying to get INR to a therapeutic level w/ the Coumadin. I am a little tired of being a human pin cushion but after reading a newly found blog I am ever so thankful for the medical treatment I am receiving.
I'd like to bring forth the blog that I found. I am hoping that I can copy and paste the posts that I want specifically my family and friends to read...
Matt, please contact me (jane7doe7@aol.com) if my copying and pasting is not permitted by you. I will gladly remove your posts. I just know that some of my family will not know how or bother to take the time to go over to your blog...therefore, I'm inserting it here:
(side note - because I am attentive to detail and always analyze everything - while reading the below - please realize that this all took place last year - 2008 - March)
update - 7:15pm.
well…
after an uneventful weekend.
we had a rather eventful monday.
as the previous photo indicated…
madeline decided to make her first appearance today.
here are some photos and a nice story…
baby’s heart rate dropped around 3:30am.
everyone was concerned.
dr. stopped by in the morning.
and said that it may be best to have madeline come out and play.
dr. nelson came a bit later and agreed.
so we were given 2 hours notice.
(9:30am).
we waited.
and made a lot of phone calls.
and sent a few e-mails.
anya came immediately.
grandparents booked flights (again).
around 11:30am liz took a little ride.
to the delivery room.
anya and i followed behind.
liz went with the doctors.
anya went to the waiting room.
i got dressed in my “daddy suit.”
(said to myself…”holy shit. this is really happening.”)
i waited in the hallway.
…and waited…
liz also waited.
i came in to the delivery room.
then the doctors started working…
and a little while later…
madeline met mom.
mom met madeline.
i cried a little.
cleaned up my act.
cut the cord.
and took a nice close-up of baby.
madeline took a little trip to the nicu.
mom took a nap.
i paced.
anya did some liz babysitting.
i found my way in to the nicu.
and hung out with our baby.
i left after about 30 mins.
gave momma a report.
went to lunch with anya.
relaxed for a few minutes.
and went in for another visit with madeline.
doctors say everthing is good.
madeline is sucking in a little extra oxygen for a few days.
she may stay in the hospital for a little while.
just so we have enough time…
to get her room ready.
oh yeah…the important stuff.
madeline was born
at 11:56 am (march 24, 2008).
at a bruising 3 pounds, 13.5 ounces.
17.25 inches long.
(almost as tall as her mom at age 30).
kidding of course,
but liz is really short.
and baby is really long.
we’ve been joking over the past few days…
if madeline gets daddy’s height and mommy’s looks,
everything will be okay.
if it goes the other way
she’s in trouble.
thankfully she’s long…
and beautiful.
thanks to everyone.
the visitors.
the callers.
the writers.
the silent web page readers.
we appreciate the support more than you know.
the proud parents will continue to update everyone on our beautiful baby.
look forward to even more good news.
(i know we will).

7.5 months., originally uploaded by mattlogelin.
Logelin, Elizabeth Ann “Liz” Was born September 1977 in Minneapolis, MN and was abruptly taken from our lives on March 25, 2008. Her joyful spirit and infectious smile touched everyone she met. Liz didn’t just enter a room; she lit up a room. Her boundless energy was inspiring to all, and her love was truly a blessing. She had a way of extracting a stranger’s life story within minutes, and welcoming them into her heart. With Blackberry in hand, and a lot of spunk, she met both personal and professional challenges head-on. Although small in stature, her impact on the world was immeasurable.
Liz spent the last months of her life devoted to her husband, her unborn daughter and the family they dreamed of having. She is survived by her loving husband, Matt; and her precious daughter, Madeline, born on March 24, 2008.
She is also survived by parents, Candee and Tom Goodman; and sister, Debbie; as well as many friends and family around the world.
A memorial service will be at Cabot and Sons, 27 Chestnut Street, Pasadena, CA 91103 on Saturday, March 29 at 1 PM. (626) 793-7159.
Memorial contributions may be made to The Logelin Family Memorial, care of: Wells Fargo, 3250 Glendale Blvd, Los Angeles CA 90039 or any Wells Fargo Bank branch. (323) 663-8023

what happened?
i’ve been hearing
that question
a lot.
so…
for those of you
who don’t know
here goes…
5 weeks of bedrest.
(2 at home, 3 in the hospital).
liz had low amniotic fluid.
baby had her cord around her neck.
baby’s heart rate dropped
(multiple times).
liz almost delivered
(multiple times).
the day finally came
(3/24).
madeline was born via c-section.
everyone was happy
and healthy.
liz was told
to hang out in bed
for another 24 hours
and then she was going to
see madeline.
she waited patiently
hearing stories
and seeing photos
of me
feeding and changing
madeline’s diapers.
(she was soooo jealous and i teased her mercilessly that i was 1, 2, 3 diapers ahead of her and that she had to catch up).
24 hours came
and she got ready
to lay her hands
on madeline
for the very
first
time.
she got up from bed
(with the help of some nurses and me).
we joked about her new-found independence.
i told her that she
had to start waiting on me
because i’d been waiting on her
for 5 weeks.
she laughed,
and said,
“of course.”
she walked to the mirror
and said,
“my hair looks like shit.”
we all laughed
(because her hair looked great, especially for someone who’d been on bed rest for 5 weeks).
the nurse said,
“are you ready to go?”
she said,
“yes.”
her excitement
was overflowing.
she turned around
to sit in her wheelchair
for her ride to see
madeline.
she said,
“i feel lightheaded”
and then she passed out.
we got her in to
her hospital bed.
doctors and nurses
rushed to help her.
but nothing could be done
to bring her
back.
no one to blame.
shitty luck
and
a pulmonary embolism
are what led us to
the saddest,
most horrific moment
of my life.
(and many other people’s lives).
