19 Months
Dear Noah,
Today, you are 19 months old. You’re officially more than a year and a half old! It’s hard for us to believe how big and mature you’re getting.
During the last week or so, you have been so sweet and affectionate, covering us with hugs and kisses. It might be my favorite phase so far!
We’ve […]

How’d That Happen?
I thought I posted this morning, but apparently I’m on crack.
Or crazed from “popcicles,” as the case may be! Yes, it’s true. I finally surged on Saturday night! (For the first time ever, I started testing twice/day.) The optimal window for IUI with previously frozen little swimmers is 24-48 hours after the surge, which we […]

Friends and Bloggers
On Thursday morning, at the crack of dawn (well, actually just after 7 am, which is hours after we’re usually up), Noah and I had an amazing breakfast.
My friend Cindy was in town, and she was delightfully committed to introducing me to her friend Anna, also a toddler Mom.
Noah loved exploring Josiah’s toys and helping […]

A few disorganized thoughts & a recipe
I’m still kind of wiped out from the retreat, or more specifically, from Noah’s bad sleeping on the retreat. He was up at 3:30 or 4 on the first night, and rather than let him wake up the whole lodge, I brought him in to sleep on the twin bed with me. The second night […]

Retreating Was Fun
Noah especially enjoyed it.
The retreat was held in Montreat, NC. What a totally beautiful location! We loved it. (Although we didn’t understand all of the heavy duty theological stuff.)

Retreat!
This message is being auto-posted while I am retreating.
Never. Never. Never in all my life have the dual meanings of the word retreat been more perfectly aligned in my life.
Retreat in the active “run away” sense: Work. While I have confidence that things will work out in my department and area, there’s no denying that […]
