Ten Months




Hello My Tiny Best Friend, 

 Well here I sit looking back on month ten with you just two days prior to writing your eleven month post. Maybe its a form of denial, maybe we are just to busy all the time, or maybe mama just hasn't had those writing juices flowing in a while. No matter the reason I need to get these words down before they are lost down the rabbit hole and forever forgotten. 
This month we celebrated your monthly birthday in Albuquerque in the middle of our week long stay with GG so daddy could handle somethings at the VA. Our trip to Albuquerque seemed to gain excitement as soon as you turned ten months with our first visit to the ER after you knocked your head on GG's counter while taking a sink bath. You were fine, mama was not. Two weeks later we were back in the ER because you had a virus and needed an IV. Once again you took it like a champ, mama did not. I believe I cried equally as much as you did. My heart has never broken as much as it did that night watching you be poked and prodded, you are so little and everything they were using was so big.
The month continued and we traveled around, as always, and went up to Wyoming to see Uncle Tyler and Aunt Mickala and play with your cousins. Then came the big trip, you and mama set out on our own great adventure Ellie girl. We packed our backs and headed out to Memphis to visit Aunt Katie. It was so much fun to wonder around Memphis with two of my favorite people in one of my favorite cities. We went through Elvis's Graceland, a favorite of mama's and we saw the ducks at the Peabody. We ate great food and had lots and lots of laughs. It is a trip I will cherish forever. Though we had a blast, you were so happy to be home to daddy! 
Last month was big for mobility, this month was big for sound! You learned how to to pat your mouth and make noises come out which made me so happy! I have been trying to get you to play with me since you were born so this was big! You love to click your tongue and think it is just the best thing ever! You have figured out how to army crawl from the living room to the kitchen and spend most of your time trying to get into Chuck's water. You know how to pull yourself up in your crib, which makes getting you to nap a little difficult. You smile all the time and you have still yet to meet a stranger. Oh yeah, you spoke... You said Mama this month! 





 Eloise, you are our world.

 I'll love you forever, 

 Mama

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...

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...

Eight Months

Well beautiful we are another month closer to your big first birthday. As we inch closer and closer I seem to remember more and more those first moments with you. Like the moment that I finally made it into post op and they put you on my chest, it was as though all the pain of my c section was gone and time stood still. Or the moment of watching your dad and the nurses give you your first bath, I longed to be there by your side but also loved that it was your daddy with you. These moments fill my heart often, but as often as I long for those first few days I am just as eager to see where you go in this great big world. You have so much personality and drive that I know you are going to be one amazing adult. You are strong willed but never will I say that's a bad thing. You are quiet, observant, cautious, and slow. You don't make a single move without thinking it through. Your smile is contagious and you are still rarely seen without it. You are perfect! This month was fi...
