Exactly one year ago today, on November 26, 2008, I lost my first pregnancy, my first chance to be a Mommy. 
I was devastated, disillusioned, convinced that God and the world was against me.
What a difference a year makes.
Today, I gave birth to a beautiful wonderful blessing, and became a Mommy.
I am in awe, I am [...]

Requiem for a friend

I have a friend, who was 6 weeks behind me. 
Yesterday, she lost her baby at 21 weeks.  Her bag of water was coming through her cervix since 19 weeks.  They placed her at home on bed rest, but it didn’t help.

And while this is not about me at all, it [...]

Harry Potter and the half Blood Prince

Yes, I am a die hard Harry Potter fan.
Yes, I went to see the movie today.
I didn’t have VERY high expectations.  After all, it is a movie based on a book.  And movies based on books tent tend to leave stuff out.  They have to.  Or else, the movie would be 6 hours long. 
But I mean, [...]

Tomorrow…………

Tomorrow, I’m going to the BIG ultrasound.
C-Dub is coming with me.
I’m excited, I’m scared. I’m nervous.
But why?  I just saw him last week, he was FINE!
But every time the ultrasound probe comes towards me, I feel this dread, this unexplainable anxiety that he won’t be there. 
I’ve got to get over this fear.  I’ve got to.
I [...]
