And happy one month, Little Man! But today is really about my husand. (Disclaimer: what follows is a very sappy post dedicated to my husband!) I met my husband in 7th grade. Yup…middle school. I warned my middle school kiddos to be careful who they “liked” because you never know… Keith was good friend with… Continue reading Happy Birthday Keith!
It snowed here yesterday/last night. We got pretty close to 8″ of the wet white stuff, and when the wind started in we got HUGE snow drifts. Last year, we bought a snowblower. Excuse me, Keith…a snow THROWER. Whatever, right? Anyway…last time it snowed I used it on the driveway and was informed that Keith… Continue reading Family Saturday
It’s Wednesday afternoon. S had a doctor’s appointment this afternoon and said she’d call this evening once she got home. I’m at the point in the journey where I wish I had never said a word to anyone, because I keep getting texts and email messages and fb messages wanting updates. I don’t have an… Continue reading No News is…Stressful

I loosened my privacy settings. My God is bigger than anything negative anyone can say to me, and my faith in Him is bigger than my fear of strangers who need Him. But I’m taking a DEEP BREATH with this, and comment moderation will be in full force. Anyway… So in the past two weeks… Continue reading Privacy, Pediatricians and Pouring Out of Love
I must say I am sorry – I have been on sort of a downer kick lately. It’s been a stressful few weeks for a number of reasons, and I tend to just put everything out there when I blog. But I hope to change that trend. So…today? Happy baby stuff! First, mega congrats to… Continue reading Happy Baby Stuff!
I never thought I’d see today. We had a baby shower in my family today. For me. I got to be the center of attention – and open oodles of presents wrapped in cute paper and enclosed in cute gift bags. I got to watch my husband load up the back of our truck. I… Continue reading My Baby Shower
First, I have to say thanks to DINA who posted a comment on my last post. She’s new to my blog, but she left wonderfully helpful info. However, I don’t know what “pink lotion” is that she uses for her son’s hair. And I can’t seem to find a way to track back to her… Continue reading Thanks, Questions and Musings…
Tomorrow at 1:00, my mother, my step-mother and my mother-in-law are coming over for lunch. They want to throw us a baby shower in November. We are due January 14, if our match is successful, and they want my pregnant sister-in-law to be able to attend. As she is due January 19, she can’t really… Continue reading Shower or Not to Shower: Today’s Question
The weekend was a raging success!!! Friday family adoption workshop: excellent. The family had great questions, the social worker was impressed with the family’s knowledge and excitement about adoption. All went well. Saturday first birthday party (as in 1st for my baby niece and 1st that I’ve ever hosted at our house): excellent as well!… Continue reading I Want One of My Own…
