When the feelings of inadequacy and emptiness that come with infertility have come back full force, and immeasurably stronger than before because now she knows what she’s missing? When she prayed harder than she’s ever prayed before and [...]

Not just my infertility, but my intense passion for children and their well-being. I. Love. Kids. So things like this make me really happy.   I could watch programs about child development for hours. I never tire of [...]

This whole journey to get to know myself can be so interesting at times. I laugh sometimes when I get those “Ah ha!” moments about MYSELF! Anywho, I realized today that it pushes a major irratation button when people don’t trust my knowledge about child development or what is [...]

She realizes how much she loves her husband and how amazing he is. She realizes how holding a baby (especially in a moby wrap) makes people react to you differently. (More on that soon.) She prays [...]

The hospital wants me to do an overnight to make sure I understand how to care for her… Really? She’s a baby!  Yeah, she has some special needs, but we’re not talking a g-tube or [...]

I still want a baby, I still don’t have one, and I’ve said all I know to say about that. Jeremiah still struggles, but is getting stronger every day. I need to learn to say more about that, but day to [...]

So there, Lori, I am posting! OKAY?!?!?! Ah, the beauty of bullet points. Gabe is still not residing in our household. It’s becoming a new normal, and that’s weird. It snowed [...]

A lot of frustration building up. A lot of anxiety. Hormones? I don’t even know, and that’s part of the frustration. Other women can look at the calendar and have at least SOME explanation for their irrational emotions. I have the irrationality FIRST and then maybe, MAYBE [...]
