Infertility encouragement!

Do you remember when I posted this (last paragraph)? I couldn’t say much at the time because our friends had JUST found out that they were expecting, and yet my heart was so full for them, I needed to post something.
They have now hit the 12 week mark and everything with their little surprise, miracle [...]

Happy Birthday, little buddy!

Logan turned one today. Wow. A year ago today we were staring in awe at this beautiful gift that was laid on my chest at 2:16 in the afternoon. We were completely and totally in shock, having no idea what was in store for us. I remember him coming out and he was so gray [...]

Praying for Stellan.

There are so many amazing blogs out there. When I think about the way that people can bear their soul to a computer – knowing that whomever finds it can read what they wrote, understand it, or get angry at it, or weep about it, or laugh about it, and then take a piece of that [...]

For you Moms out there…

My good friend, Jennifer, sent this on to me and I had to share it. Get ready for some teary eyes.
“The loving mother teaches the child to walk alone.
She is far enough from him so that she cannot actually support him,
but she holds out her arms to him. She imitates his movements,
and if he totters, [...]

Motivation for blogging.

I love blogging. Love it. I love showcasing my photography, I love updating my readers on Logan, but I’ve found a surprising and very gratifying feeling from another aspect of this blog – sharing motherhood. Recently I had an old college friend, someone that I haven’t spoken to in years, write to me and tell [...]

Safe and Sound

I have a lot of people in my life who are expecting babies. My best friend, Jess, is due sometime around Feb. 20th. That is the date both her and her husband think their little one will join the world. This is their first and I am THRILLED for them! I am excited to be [...]

Going to the hospital…

Well, this will be my last post before pictures and information about our little one! We are going to the hospital tonight around dinner time to have them start the process. We could have a baby really quickly, or not until Friday. Totally depends on how my labor goes! If things aren’t progressing and they [...]

Good News!

We had another doctor’s appointment today. We had our ultra-sound and my fluid was a 7.0, which isn’t much greater, but not lower! Then we had the bio-physical profile and the baby was breathing right and diaphram was working. Kicks and movement was also great. So the baby was given a rating of an 8 [...]

It is just about July!

Can you believe we are almost into July already? Where has this year gone? I have had a lot of time to reflect the past couple of weeks and I can’t believe where my husband and I were a year ago to where we are now. Doesn’t it feel like that every year? Every year [...]

Rollercoaster Ride

We are on a rollercoaster – I know thats a bit cliche when talking about emotions – but honestly, that is how the past week and a half has gone for us. On Monday I posted the great news about my fluid levels increasing, and how some of my bed rest restrictions were taken off. [...]
