First, a shout out to my mommy! I finally braved up and gave her my blog address. Now, here’s to hoping I don’t make her too angry with my transparency on the internet 🙂 Second, Mel at Stirrup Queens wrote this post already. It’s excellent. But I felt the need to write my own! I hope… Continue reading Surviving the Holidays
Shutterfly is giving bloggers a chance to earn 50 free cards this holiday season! http://bit.ly/sfly2010 We haven’t done Christmas cards in a long time. When we first got married, we got dozens and dozens of Christmas cards from family and friends; most of them included newsletters and pictures of rapidly expanding families (and I don’t mean… Continue reading Christmas Cards (aka Free Shutterfly!)
A quote from my devotional study today: “Perhaps the extended wait births the story. Those who learn to sit still and wait have something amazing worth telling. God answered my prayer! God did this. Not me! I tried and couldn’t.” A verse from the Bible that was also listed today: “I waited patiently for the… Continue reading Because He has a Better Plan
My cousin is pregnant. I’m overjoyed at her pregnancy; yet at the same time I’ve sobbed uncontrollably three separate times since hearing the news. At 5:30 last night. (okay…and make that four). We were supposed to have dinner with my parents last night. Little Man is battling an ear infection and had only had two… Continue reading The "Why" is the Hardest Part
Mel, the Stirrup Queen, posts a Friday Roundup of blogs she finds most interesting throughout the week. This week’s roundup has prompted two thoughts, one from a comment on her roundup and one on the post about whether or not infertility makes someone a better parent. First, one of Mel’s commenters makes mention about how… Continue reading Hmmmm….
I have so many thoughts in my head that I can’t really separate them out, so today’s post is full of random ramblings. I finally feel like a stay-at-home-mom (although, in reality, we don’t stay at home a lot!). School has been back in session for two weeks, and I finally feel like I am… Continue reading Random Ramblings
I knew when we got married that Keith would have no problems honoring the “in sickness” part of our vows. Just months earlier, shortly before we were officially engaged, I came down with some horrible stomach virus. I was at his house when it happened, and I spent the next 36 hours alternately shivering in… Continue reading An Article I Wrote
So last week I read this book called “Babyville” by Jane Green. I’ve been reading a lot of her stuff lately. I tend to pick up a book at the library and then plow through that author’s entire collection. Green’s books are fluffy chick lit type books – perfect for my mommy brain right now!… Continue reading Fact? or Fiction?
Once upon a time, I thought I’d made peace with my infertility. Let me clarify…I never thought adopting Little Man would heal my infertility. The only aspect of infertility that Little Man “healed” (not even the right word!) is the desire to parent. I am now a mommy, and for that, and for him, and… Continue reading It Never Goes Away
So I’m still new to this IF thing…well, I’m not new to it, but I’m new to blogging about it and being aware that there are such things as National Infertillity Awareness Week. So this is my post dedicated to IF Awareness Week. I find it ironic, and not a little disturbing, that National IF… Continue reading I Missed National Infertility Awareness Week
