Seven Months









My Sweet Maggoo, 
How is it that we are on the backside of your first year? It seems like yesterday we were sitting in anticipation of meeting your tiny little soul and yet here we are seven months in. I think back to the day you were born after  days of labor and how though we were exhausted we could not sleep. I didn't want to close my eyes for a second in fear of missing something you would do. I could stare at you in awe that thing I prayed so desperately for was laying on my chest in the shape of the most perfect little girl. Seven months later I still hold you on my chest or sit and watch you sleep in awe that you are real. It is as though I am living in a dream where all my hopes and prayers have come true. Seeing you discover new things, accomplish milestones, and become you is just perfect. You have the best little personality and this month it has began to shine through. You are no longer my sweet tiny cuddly baby, but this little baby who is ready to go! You want to do things, reach things, accomplish things. You are strong willed and my little Maggoo you are going to accomplish such wonderful things. 




Month seven was again a busy month but a month filled with so many fun moments! We introduced you to eating and you love food. Every bite you take whether you like it or not you smile. I think my favorite moments when you are eating is when you do not like something, you are so sweet and try so hard to force a smile and eventually learn to enjoy it; except squash, you do not enjoy squash. You also mastered sitting! You are so proud every time I prop you up and never want to lay back down. You try to scoot yourself forward, but have not yet figured that out. You love to call Chuck by hitting your leg and looking at him, he hasn't figured out that you are calling him but I am sure that day will come. You haven't learned how to crawl yet but you have learned to roll yourself to whatever you want, which makes leaving you on your tummy time mat difficult. It is a matter of time until you are on the go, so for now I will enjoy the little rolls and the smily little girl I have. 



We celebrated your and Daddy's first father's day this month and it was perfect. As I excited I was to be your mom I could not wait to see your dad  be your daddy. He loved you so much when you were in my tummy and you  had him wrapped around his finger from the day you entered the world. You are his pride and joy and he is your best friend, watching your relationship develop and grow has been such a treat for me. Being able to celebrate him this month was so perfect and we celebrated in the most perfect way.We went up to Wyoming to hang out with Grandma and Grandpa and drive those beautiful Wyoming mountains, it was wonderful. 






As list of first go we hit a few more. We went to the zoo for the first time, you slept through it. You went to your first Colorado Rapids game, you ate a yellow card. You went to your first national park as we drove through the Rocky Mountain National Park, you slept. We celebrated our first anniversary with you, now that was a treat! We took your six month photos, which mommy is absolutely captivated by.












 Every month is filled with such wonderful memories and we have you to thank! You have made us slow down and enjoy the time we have together, because time is moving way to fast! 

 I love you my sweet Maggoo!

March 30th

The last two months of our lives have been a complete whirlwind of emotion, stress, and utter joy!  On March 19th we were able to endure our first IUI, where I laid very similar to Phoebe in Friend's and prayed with my husband that this would be our first and last IUI. We went in with hopeful heart's and praying minds, and knew the lord had a plan. The following weekend we went on vacation to San Diego where I unfortunately began  to believe that our IUI had not worked, and that we were not pregnant. I experienced cramps, was grumpy to my poor family, and walked around feeling like Shamu on the beach. So obviously I wasn't pregnant, right... Fast forward to March 30th, two days before I was technically supposed to test. It was a Wednesday night, a Wednesday night where I  obsessively thought about nothing else but that I wasn't pregnant. I did what any mildly obsessed woman going though infertily treatments would do, and tested. I jumped in the bath and pretended th...

To Everything There Is A Season

Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 New International Version (NIV) A Time for Everything 3  There is a time   for everything,      and a season for every activity under the heavens: 2       a time to be born and a time to die,      a time to plant and a time to uproot, 3       a time to kill   and a time to heal,      a time to tear down and a time to build, 4       a time to weep and a time to laugh,      a time to mourn and a time to dance, 5       a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,      a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, 6       a time to search and a time to give up,      a time to keep and a time to throw away, 7       a time to tear and a time to mend,      a time to be silent  an...

Food for Thought

  Nancy Guthrie says it well: “If your faith is real, you will not fall away. Not because you are strong or because your faith is strong but because God has his firm grip on you and he will not let go. You will remain in him because you are his forever.” I often think back to my days in college, and oh my goodness do I sometimes wonder how I survived. I was well a wild one. I lived fully and completely in the world and of the world. I tried very hard to avoid my church home, and all the amazing loving members in it. My days were spent feeling ill from the night before's drinking, and my nights were spent trying to see how much alcohol I could ingest. My heart was anything but guarded, and I sought the attention of every man that would say hi to me. It was a dark and lonely time, and yet here I am.  I survived, and have learned so very much from those days. I look back though and realized that even though I turned my back from The Lord, he never turn...
