Hi, and welcome. This blog has changed a bit recently. My husband and I fought through 4 consecutive losses to get our second healthy child (born in December 2012) . . . and while we had not shut the door on the idea of another pregnancy, we certainly were leaning in that direction. On August 8, 2014, we found out we are pregnant for the 7th time. A total surprise. So the neurotic journey continues . . . third child or fifth loss . . . I'm scared and confused and just a teensy bit excited . . .

Happy Due Date Little Boy

Sigh. I'm tired. Really, really tired. So why am I blogging at 11pm? Because the little one is due to nurse in 15-30 minutes and catching a nap that short will just make me grumpy . . .

January 24, 2013. The day I spent the last 9 months anticipating. Of course I knew he likely wouldn't be born on 1/24, but making it to the end of pregnancy was the obsession I often wondered if I'd ever achieve again.

And while I didn't exactly make it to the end, I came close enough. I could not imagine January 24th being any more perfect than it was today. A cranky toddler. A gassy baby. And a tired mommy. Absolutely, completely, and totally perfect.

Happy due date baby boy. You have completed our lives in a way I could have never imagined. I am more in love with you and your brother (and your daddy too) than I even thought was possible. While the darkness of our journey to conceive you will likely never be completely gone, I surely feel like the luckiest mommy in the world today.
