I said I'd post a couple pictures of the little sweetie. She's just beautiful and the spitting image of her mother. I haven't been this in love with someone else' child since my little sister was born . . .







...

. . is that too much to ask? Just sayin'

You know how you're going along with life, relatively content, relatively happy, secure in the knowledge that you'll have a chance to fulfill your dreams . . . . and then WHAMMO . . . you get hit with a ton of reality bricks? Yeah, that's what happened to me yesterday. I was certain. I was SURE . . . beyond a shadow of a doubt, that DH and I were on the same page about cycle #3. I was convinced that we had plans for sometime in 2010. I was hoping for early, but would even settle for late that ...

. . . in 8 years! lol

I've avoided them like the plague since all of this IF stuff due to self-preservation. I know some people can handle them while going through all this crud, but they're better women than I, I suppose. I just didn't feel I should/could avoid this one and, as baby showers go, it was harmless enough. I wasn't expecting this shower, however . . .

Convo w/ DH: (9am 2/8/09)

DH: Oh, I need to check my email and let you know when the ...

Text from my 12 yr-old sister on Saturday read: "Dad died 8 years ago today . . . . "

I've been in a funk since. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, feels like yesterday sometimes. What's worse is that she never really got to know him and that breaks my heart! . . . and does it make me a bad person that I haven't visited his grave in years? I don't like to face the reality of it like that- seems so final to stare at a piece of grass with his name on it so I just ...

1.) I don't know if I want to jinks this, but I just can't help but be excited . . . I FINALLY broke the stupid weight pleateau I've been on! I was down 1.8 lbs this morning. After working out 3x a day for the last 3 weeks and watching what I eat like a hawk something finally happened. Now let's just pray the dropping weight continues.

2.) BIL & SIL asked DH and I to be Godparents for our future neice! I'm so super excited about that. Funny because it's been ages since I ...

Twice in one day! I'm amazing . . .

So we all hear those stories about seniors getting taken advantage of by con artists. They get swindled out of money and identities etc. So my question is, if you see this happening, if your ENTIRE family sees it happening, when and how do any of you step in to stop it?

My Papaw (grandpa) lives in AZ by himself. My Nana passed away 8 years ago. Up until recently, my Papaw used to come up to visit for several months during ...

I haven't blogged in a while for no other reason than I haven't thought about it. I'm not a good blogger- I just don't have the time, energy or desire most of the time! lol . . . I was never good at journaling either (you know, back with pen and papper and a pretty little book).

Anyway, on to it. I got two bits of good news this weekend that are very ironically related. I got a call from my mom to let me know that my cousin/brother (we grew up in the same house so he's more ...

I don't even know where to begin. Except to say I'm pushing DH away again. He's starting to resent me in a very big way. Well, better put is that he resents IF and what we have to do to have a child, but, considering it's my fault, basically he resents me. He'd never say that of course. He wants us to have some semblance of a normal life while we try to gain the means of trying another cycle. That means spending money. Money we should be using for the next cycle and he's getting tired of ...

** I just realized my last few blogs have been nothing short of boring political and/or religious rantings . . . so I thought I'd lighten my own mood and maybe make a few of you laugh as well.

** For the record, no, I've never been in the Army. My father was . . . no, he did not write this! Although I'm certain I'd be a little prouder of him if he had- lol
