Five Months!

Wow! Time is flying by way too fast, but we are so thankful for our sweet baby boy and that the Lord has entrusted him to us!

The last month has been the toughest one yet, but fun at the same time. We got no sleep and experienced lots of firsts [trying to remember there will be a season of "lasts" (like in our too near future, a last time he will be stationary and instead be on the move) so soaking them up!] Zac helped me vote in his first election, he spent his first weekend away from me & a separate weekend away from both of us (so a first weekend with the grandparents), his first two teeth came in, he tried his first foods (avocado) & he had his first Thanksgiving! He's sitting up (not for long periods of time without me or a pillow behind him) and he's laughing more and more.

Teething and sleep regression, along with his paci association and now being able to take his paci out but not find it in the middle of the night to put back in, have had me up every hour, that turned into every 15 minutes most nights this month. However, I know it's a season and these fun moments make up for it right?

"Their Hearts are Steadfast, Trusting in the Lord"

A verse I had no idea would grow to mean so much to me! I wrote this post over a week ago now, just late posting! July 21, 2015 One month-It has been exactly one month since I've seen and talked to my Granny.  I have thought about what I have wanted to write in this post a million times, and a million times more have wanted to sit down and write it, but never could bring myself to do so. Well, I got my hair cut yesterday and all I could hear is my Granny saying, "Your Papa would be maaadd at you" and "Nooo you didn't cut it off". And again this morning, as I made my coffee, I am laughing at the last time I fixed coffee for my Granny. It was the week of June 15th and I was staying with her. I made coffee for myself and convinced her to try it.  It was way  too strong (Thank you Keurig for taking away my ability to make coffee in a regular pot). Granny responded with "oooo that's bitter" but then came the "it'll be alright...just a...

Seeing Pink : Feelings/Fears Finding out + Being an advocate for yourself

November 14, 2019 18 weeks  pregnant…12 weeks  + 2 days longer than my first pregnancy. 14 weeks + 2 days  since seeing those two pink lines for the second time in my life, for the first time without fertility intervention. And the first time I’ve been able to sit down and try to gather and write out thoughts and try to wrap my head around all the work the Lord has done (and continues to do) in my heart during this pregnancy. While these words will be raw and confusing and hard and joyful, I want to have them to look back on as a tangible reminder of this season and of the Father’s pursuit of my heart. I also want to share them because while no two stories are the same, I know there may be someone with whom this will resonate, and prayerfully encourage! Part 1: Feelings/Fears Finding out + Being an advocate for yourself It was the first full cycle post endometriosis and a d&c (to check uterus for infection) when we found out we were pregnant. And...

In every season...

After doing the laundry, cleaning, ironing and eating lunch, I'm finally sitting down while the boys are napping...and also thinking of all the things still left to do, like that package of Christmas presents I still need to take to the post office for the boys' birthmother (so thankful for her grace and understanding with me) or the grading I could be doing for school.  Isn't that how it often feels? An unending list of to-do's, finding joy in checking off the list, yet we can't turn our brains off because the list never ends.  Yet, here I am...still learning to find the balance in doing what needs to be done, letting what things can wait wait, and learning that rest is good. I'm grasping ever so slowly that life comes in seasons, and to find the joy in each one.  I've been writing this post over and over in my head, and I'm hoping I can share it with you in the way I've imagined without leaving anything out. We are on our 8th day of a Dan...
