Really?!?

We had a wonderful trip, which I will talk about in detail once my current mood improves. We left the ship at 9 this morning, enjoyed an hour on a bus, then took 3 flights to get home (at 9 pm) all to find that our luggage hadn't exactly came with us. And even worse, the airline has noooo idea where it is.

But wait, this gets better. We'd heard about some tornados in Oklahoma while we were gone but you don't see the news on the ship, so we had no idea... Apparently, we got damage from the tornados and the hail. Fun times when you come home and survey how much will need to be fixed and replaced in the coming weeks. We have roof damage in several places, almost all sides of our fence are currently being propped up, and lots of the landscaping we just worked on before we left is now decorating the neighboring town.

All the while, I'll be wearing my clothing I didn't see worth packing, wearing no makeup, and possibly smelling a little since we don't have any deodorant. Awesome! But seriously, we had an excellent time on the cruise and I really will talk about it soon and post pictures... (Just pray for my pregnancy temper to remain under control tomorrow while dealing with the airline.)

  2. OMG! So sorry. I hope your bags turn up soon. The same thing happened to us...but on the way to our honeymoon in Costa Rica! Nothing like being on your honeymoon with no clothes (which the airline seemed to think was really funny!).

    Glad to hear you had a great trip. Post some pics soon!

Meet Our Little Miracle, Paisley Kate

The post I have been waiting 2 years to write is finally here and I can't really believe it. On Saturday, I woke up at 8:30 a.m. with BAD contractions. By the 2nd one, I knew I was in "real" labor. They were SO different than the braxton-hicks. I got out of bed and decided that I'd take a bath, until water ran down both legs. The pain after that got pretty unbearable immediately and I was having contractions every 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. So, I called Aaron at work to tell him it was "the big day". He decided I was kidding until I nearly leapt through the phone to wring his neck. :) We got to the hospital an hour later and I was dilated to a 4 and having very active contractions. They quickly got me moved to an L&D room. I got my epidural ( AMAZING - we'll talk about this in its own post soon) at a 6 and then my doctor broke my water. (Apparently at home, it had just leaked a pocket of fluid). After he broke my water, labor started picking up

The Resurrection

 So here we are.  It's now a blog graveyard.  The followers have long since moved on and infertility is something that I've somewhat put in the past (only considering I don't want any more kids).  So why am I here and writing again?  What's the purpose?   This was my safe place.  It was where I came when everything seemed much too hard and I needed to feel comfort.  I wanted to express myself in a venue that others would reassure me and even understand me.  I still love and have always loved this blog.  It guided me during some of the hardest years of my life, dealing with infertility and miscarriage. And you know... I guess it will help me again now.  Because life is freaking TOUGH.  You know the phrase "I've went through Hell and back"?  Yeah, I feel that in my soul now.  I could have a blowout in the middle lane of the highway during rush hour traffic, manage to pull over my car on the side and call for roadside assistance without my pulse increasing ev

I'm Going to Let You in on a Little Secret

My dear blog readers, Those of you who know me well know that I do not keep secrets. It's actually physically impossible for me to keep a secret. So, it's going to really surprise many of you to find out that I've been staying silent about something pretty big. So, without further ado, I'd like to introduce you to the little miracle that came into our lives 13 weeks ago: We wanted to keep it to ourselves for a while to make sure things went okay this time. It's been a very terrifying 13 weeks and we are just now starting to feel that things could actually go well. We feel incredibly blessed to be pregnant with this baby and we are so grateful for every minute. To my friends who are still battling infertility , I'm not even sure where to start. You've been there with me through it all. You've held my hand and given me a shoulder to cry on when times are tough. You always know the right things to say because you've been there before. And you pray and
