Watched Pot Never Boils

I’m reading Emma again. I do love reading Jane Austen, but then it makes me talk like her… and at this moment I’m Miss Bates- oh have you heard that the watched pot never boils? Oh, said I, that is what my grandmama always used to say, and right she was, for it seems to [...]

My Sister’s Boyfriend

Dotty’s boyfriend LaMar is a lawyer. I just finished talking to my twin sister about what her darling knew with regard to family law. Dotty said he is only licensed to practice in the state of New York, but that he can help Rob and me with questions we have regarding a possible adoption.
Remember my [...]

Not Patient

I’m not typically known as patient. I know, you don’t believe me, do you? It’s true, though.
You are all such a blessing to me with your sweet and encouraging comments. It helps the wait be not so brutal.
Do I want to hear more news about my news? OF COURSE. And is the person who could [...]

On the Brink

Reading something 100 times does not change its meaning. Thank God.
What do you do when you have prayed at great length for something, only to find that your prayers are on the brink of being answered? Do you keep your “nose to the grindstone” and keep on going and working toward your goal? Do you [...]

Stupid Tears

I’m pouting a little because I got roped in… reading sad, encouraging, happy, scary birthing stories again.
Last week I watched hour after hour of Bringing Home Baby on TLC. “Jayleigh,” I told myself, “This won’t be you. If/when you have a family, it just won’t be all smiles coming from a hospital with you as [...]

Waiting on a Miracle

Relinquishing Control 
I wonder what it is within me that makes me want to be in control of each and every little aspect of my life and the world around me. Don’t get me wrong; I’m not a control freak. I just want to be the boss of it all sometimes.
In a nutshell, I want to [...]

What Would I Give

What would I give to be where she is, now 51 days in the hospital? She’s bored out of her mind, and worried, and unable to see friends and family very much.
In the last 4 weeks, her tummy has gotten impressively bigger. Her hair has gotten longer. They say the baby is over 3 pounds, and [...]

Will Not Ruin Me

Infertility Struggles Will Not Ruin Me
Because I won’t let them! My head is above water, but not by much. It’s not even the Holidays and I am nearing the end of my rope. I have no patience. I have outgrown all of my clothes except a few exceptionally huge pieces, which are also stretchy.
When I [...]

I Believe

I believe in a world where there are no stereotypes and no lines drawn by Nationality, Color, Race, Religion, Culture, Geography, Sex, Age, etc.
I believe in God, and his son Jesus Christ who died to save me from my sins.
I believe that I had to go through the hard times in my life so I [...]

Wackadoodle

Word Games
I love to morph words. One of my favorites is a combo of Wacky and Cockamamie, and it’s this:
Wackamamie. [wack a MAY me]
I say it all the time. “Look at my hair today. It’s wackamamie,” or, “Oh my goodness. My sister just got this wackamamie huge raise,” or, “Rob, what kind of sandwich is that? [...]

Baby Talk (Part 11)

No Go this month. My doc’s office called me today at work. Day 21 blood tests say that my progesterone is too low, apparently. Trying again as soon as AF hits.
Tripping
Rob, knowing I was disappointed, quit work early and had the dogs and our beach bag loaded in the car when I got home this [...]

Blood Sucker

I have to get blood drawn this morning. To tell if my body is working right. Meaning, they’ll know if I ovulated.

No Gnus

No Gnus is Good Gnus, says Gary Gnu.
Not pregnant. But that doesn’t mean anything… yet.
I’m soooo tired. Got the HP book but am only in chapter 2 because I was sewing all day. Rob was painting all day. And we ALWAYS read HP together. We’re our own book club.
**hugs**
