busy makin' stuff
like blankets, hair clips, onesies, bibs, aprons and babies. Yes, you read right. Babies. No, I am not pregnant. But soon I will be! Here's hoping. For a baby...It has indeed been six months since that awful, fateful day and we are now good to go. I've done lots of research this time around, to help ensure a good and healthy conception (and pregnancy). Let's hope it pays off, because I am so very ready for my baby.
Last week a friend of mine stated the obvious: "It's kinda hard to watch other people get pregnant and have babies when you're not." Uh, yeah, it kinda is. I have another friend, or two (or fifty), that are due either on or around my supposed due date, May 11th. That's less than a month away, people. If I were still pregnant I would be in that "it could happen any day now" stage. Crazy. But right now we're in the "wishin' and a hopin', thinkin' and a prayin'" stage. And then, then it's the "holding, and kissing, and squeezing, and loving" stage. Hopefully.
So yeah, we've been busy. *B
Trust me. I know how all of that feels, except I didn't have a little one to come home to and the doctor told me that the pregnancy was a miracle in itself, hence the adoption process we are currently in. The waiting is the hardest part but it all ends up worth it in the end and we have to KNOW there will be an end! Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear any forthcoming news! I'm with Aranne...hang in there. Good things happen to good people...and you, my friend--are one of the best people.
ReplyDeleteI love that you admit that you've been "busy". ;) I wish you the best of luck as you try for the next one! If the next one is as cute as the current one, I'd be trying too! I'm sure it will happen any day now. :)
ReplyDeleteHaha! I'm glad you're keeping busy! :) Best of luck, and looking forward to many baby posts! You know that I do commission illustrations for babies rooms right??? ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited that your time has come! You have been so patient and such a strength and example to us all! I cannot wait to see what the two of you come up with because you seem to have some pretty dang cute little creations. Good luck, keep us posted, and have fun ;) Lots of love!
ReplyDeleteI hope and pray that it will soon be that day...until then...stand strong, it won't be that long...hold fast, the hardships will past...be patient and wait, He's never late.
ReplyDeleteI just read your fateful day post - that's definitely a hard thing to go through :( There was a time when they thought I had an ectopic pregnancy in my first few weeks too, because I also had some bleeding and pain on my left side, and my hormonoe levels were lowish. But turned out they went up normally, and now we know the bleeding was related to preterm labour risks I guess I had from the start ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut anyway!! I hope this time everything goes smoothly and that you have a nice little one in 9-ish months!! :D
I'm excited for you Beth. You are so cute. Thanks for coming for dinner. Kiersch has fun with Will. Love your hair pins, and yes, I will need to order a few.
ReplyDeleteso that's why you missed book club - good excuse.
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest picture of you and Will. He is just darling. Best wishes:)
ReplyDeleteyou guys are definitely in my prayers. i'll be thinking about you. i know it will all work out. have lots of fun "trying".
ReplyDeleteB--wishing you such luck! I can't wait to hear what comes of all this "business". :) You are a great mom--and will be for many more little babies...
ReplyDeleteAt least the trying is fun, right?! =) Good luck!!
ReplyDeletei'm crossing my fingers for you, beth! i was a nervous wreck after we lost two in a row. the trials are worth it to get to the miracles at the end. you've done everything right...now just breathe and go for it!!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the luck in the world. And am so glad you've been supportive and uplifting to me as I just had my baby, knowing it might have been hard for you to be so happy to me. I can't wait to hear all your exciting things going on after busy things! Good luck!
ReplyDeletehave fun making whoopie!
ReplyDeletehope you've got the best of luck (and timing)!
Hey you! Thanks for the comment, your such a sweetie! I will definitly talk to charde! Whats your email?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the busy baby stuff... You of all people deserve that little miracle. Plus, I think that people who make cute babies should make more (of course the converse also holds true...)I'm praying for you!
ReplyDeleteHave fun ;)
ReplyDeleteyay!!!!!!!!!!!!! good luck good luck good luck! Oh, and blue crush night? how could I forget! I believe the three of us headed to Brolums on that Friday night after April ran for our ward in the stake relay run. I remember going chip and salsa and ice cream wild, and dreaming of beaches and surfing and being that tan. Such a fun memory. I miss you.
ReplyDeleteHey Beth, I truly understand how you feel. I am going through that same thing right now. I am sure you will be able to have another healthy baby. Best of luck to you guys!
ReplyDeletethere's always room for you on the island... come on by.
ReplyDeleteOh B, good luck with baby-making (tee hee hee). I'll be praying for you!!
ReplyDeletePictures of what? What do you have pictures of? I wanna see! Send them my way!
ReplyDeleteI love the hair clips--if you bring some to the reunion, I'll buy a few from you, I wouldn't know what colors to request so you could just bring whatever.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I can't imagine what it is like for you but I'm sorry you had to go through it but I do hope you have a lot of fun trying again!
Beth, I am so sorry about your miscarraige. I have studied a lot about healthy conceptions (hmmm.. I wonder why) and all I know is that you guys will make great parents again! By the way, I wish you were around to show me how to be so crafty. I need help!
ReplyDeleteaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh, a little too much information for me. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteThink positive! Things always happen for a reason! Loves
