Mother's Day
Happy Mother's Day to all the ladies on the board who have found out in the last couple of days they are expecting! Crongrats to all!
This was the first Mother's Day in the past 2 years that I did not spend the entire day miserable. Brendan wa so sweet that I wanted to cry but at least this year it was for a different reason. When I woke up, he told me that it was my day and he and the "kids" were going to pamper me. They made me breakfast in bed, rubbed my feet and even got me the cutest present. I am a big eeyore fan so they bought me the cutest outfit from the Disney Store with eeyore on it. And, they had secretly planned a vacation to Disneyworld without me finding out. I couldn't beleive it. I was so surprised and so overwhelmed.
And, I even decided that I was going to church. I had been talking often over the last couple of weeks with my pastor and I was starting to feel like I was coming out of my pity that I was feeling. I knew that deciding to go to church was a good sign. And my pastor was so surprised to see me and she came over and gave me a big hug and told me how proud of me she was. Believe me, it was a big step. The great part was that the service was put on by the church youth and was all about giving yourself to GOD. It was wonderful- they even did a cute puppet show and used Jesus signing that country song "I want to talk about me" (i think that's the name). It was absolutely adorable- they had these 2 angel puppets playing the guitar and it was just so funny.
Baby Making
We have decided to postpone the baby making temporarily for many reasons. We put our townhouse up for sale a few weeks ago and it sold in 4 days to our surprise. So we are now homeless. Our new house won't be ready until October and we have no place we can go. Since our area was hit majorly with tonrados several weeks ago, all the displaced families have taken up all the available rentals. Our only option is to go live w/ my parents for the next 5 months- I'm just not there yet!
Springtime
Spring/summer is one of my favorite times of the year. I love watching the flowers grow, seeing butterflies and everything. It definitely has brought a spring back to my step. I am feeling better by the day. The last couple weeks have been just horrible- its all I have been able to do to get up in the morning and just get dresses. I have been just so depressed. But after talking to my pastor and an old friend that is experiencing the same thing, I have been able to improve my outlook. Each day I am getting stronger and stronger. And I know now that I am going to get that baby I have so dreamed about- even if its through adoption. I am going to be a mom one way or another!
Hugs to all,
J
