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...

Remembering...

Today is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month and as I sit hear listening to my sweet baby boy who has most recently learned his precious voice and uses it all the time, I rejoice in God's grace yet mourn at the loss of our two other precious babies! Sweet little ones, you are missed every day and I know you'd be the best siblings to Zac man! I am so thankful for the short time God placed you in my tummy and smile knowing you now sit in His lap! Know you are remembered and loved always! Love this post written by a fellow fertility sister! Join today in the Wave of Light to remember these angels at 7-8 pm!

We are Adopting!!

It's been a while since I have written a post, and I couldn't be more excited and thankful that this is my first post back. WE are ADOPTING! I won't post the story here, and will let you read what I wrote on our fundraising website. I wanted to just give an update on what we've done so far in the adoption process, what are our next steps, and how you can help! What have we done so far: We are working with Christian Adoption Consultants for our adoption and couldn't be more blessed to be working with our consultant, Leah! She has been awesome! I was blessed to be able to meet her, and her precious daughter Haven when I was in Jacksonville, Florida visiting with some sweet college friends. We used Nathanson Adoptions for our Home Study, and again, the Lord answered our prayers in matching us with an incredible social worker, Liz. The homestudy included in depth interviews with Brett and me about our past as a couple, our marriage, and our plans for the fu...
