Experience wonder each new day
From the monthly archives:
After reading my last post, I realized it might come off as a bit negative. The past 2 months have certainly not been the easiest months of my life, but I am delighted that God has answered the prayers of so many people who knew about our trouble getting pregnant.
Any pregnancy is a miracle. A whole baby develops from just a single cell. Amazing! When things get hard, I just remind myself that there is a reward waiting at the end of all this.

Do you ever get those ‘we miss you’ emails from some store you haven’t shopped at in a while? I’m not going to offer you 20% off your next purchase, or anything terribly exciting like that. Now is just the time for me to post a note to tell you what I have been up to for the past few months.
The last I posted with any regularity was WAY BACK in March! I can’t believe how time has flown by.
I spent half of March sick with a cold that I just couldn’t shake. Then I went on vacation for a week to visit my parents in Georgia. When I got back, I relapsed with that nasty cold.
On April 3, life took a huge turn when I decided on a whim to take a pregnancy test and it turned up positive! After trying for a year and a half and accepting that we would likely just adopt…well, I walked around in a daze for 2 days.
April was spent recovering from that cold while descending into the depths of morning sickness. Most of April and about half of May was spent laying on the couch thinking, “There must be another way.”
With a baby on the way, and summer coming into full swing, Brenton and I decided that it was time to move out of our tiny 1 bedroom apartment. On May 15 we found a comfortable 2 bedroom duplex to move into and one week later we had cleaned out the old apartment and gotten completely moved.
Now I am in the process of unpacking boxes and planning a small garden for our new yard, all the while trying not to overdo it and get sick again. Now that I can get off the couch without feeling sick, I plan on getting back to my blogging because I miss it so.
This is all a blessing and a testament to God’s perfect plan, and since winter is officially over, I’m headed out to soak up some sunshine.

There was a young girl and her mom in a dressing room while I was perusing the clothes racks looking for some new summer tops. The girl sounded like she was about 5 or 6 years old.
Girl: “That one is so pretty, Momma! You should get it.”
Mom (sighing): “Unfortunantly, it’s too big for me.”
Girl: “Maybe you could buy it now and grow into it next year.“
