Look what I got for my birthday today…
I still have the bedding on layaway, but the nursery is certainly coming together. I’m loving my little water critters.

DH and I can’t afford to adopt. We knew that when we started on this journey. We don’t have enough equity in our home to get a loan – we simply haven’t owned it long enough. We don’t have a large savings account, what we have in that account is my income [...]

We had our big homestudy visit yesterday and it was great. Our social worker is so laid back and kind that we weren’t nervous at all. Before she got there neither of us felt nervous, but evidently we had been because after it was over yesterday we both felt a huge sigh of relief. We [...]

There just isn’t enough media coverage on miscarriage and infertility despite how many people it effects. I’ve talked a [...]

Today I feel a bit like Veruca Salt. I want my baby NOW! Sometimes I get so impatient, so eager and it seems like it will never happen. DH and I both feel as if God has led us down this path to grow our family, we know that we have a kiddo out there [...]

I’ve commemorated several things on this blog – all to do with my pregnancy. Today marks one more, the last one actually. Because a year ago today we were in the doctor’s office for our weekly scan and we found out her heartbeat had simply stopped. The doctor couldn’t explain it and we felt like [...]
