Delivered

On Saturday April 30, 2011, I had a phone conversation that would forever change my life. I wrote this blog post shortly after that day. Josh and I had been trying to get pregnant for quite some time. So when we were approached with the opportunity to adopt, especially considering the amazing family we were […]

It’s Prayer Vigil Friday! 06/10/11

I’m a day late getting this posted and I am so sorry. The past week was excruciating for some in the world of infertility. A  friend who goes by the name MaternalTurtle found out that her baby didn’t have a heartbeat at 15 weeks. They induced delivery, and she lost her baby. Another online friend, […]

It’s Prayer Vigil Friday! 03/25/11

Well, I only received one prayer request this week and it went something like this: “Dear God please let me get knocked up. Amen.” (Big smile.) I have to admit, that’s just about as honest and to the point as any of us could get. When you think about it, every single one of us […]

Graceful Balance

This past Thursday morning I had my very first acupuncture visit. Like most times in my life, I scheduled it in even though I really didn’t have time, I left late to get there, I was already a little nervous about what to expect anyway – and it definitely showed. After sliding into the parking […]

What Did You Just Say!?!?

I have found that one of the most insensitive things anyone who knows I’m trying to get pregnant can say to me is, “Just relax, you’re trying too hard.” Or, “Oh stop worrying, it’ll happen the moment you stop thinking about it.” I wrote this entry in my diary after one particularly frustrating day: “I’ve […]
