Working Mom

I'm sure most of you moms out there that work will agree with me saying this: Working sucks! I would love  to be an at home mom that didn't have to worry about working. I do work from home, which is a major plus, but it still sucks. I am not a fan of having someone else come and take care of my kids. Now, let me back up a bit and say that I am completely bless to A. be working from home and B. having our sitter come to the house to watch the girls. This allows us to be a bit more flexible than most jobs and daycares would allow. I am not going to lie, I totally loved being off for 16 weeks with the babies. I didn't even think about work or how many days I had left or anything. It was so nice.

However, it is nice to be able to still see them and hear them. That makes this mommy's heart feel better. After Anna came in to our fa...

Pregnancy and Infant Loss

Being October means lots of different awarenesses month. We have breast cancer awareness, SIDs awareness, and pregnancy and infant loss awareness. This month is also national adoption month. More people than you might know or realize go through pregnancy and infant loss, and the month of October is time to make this taboo subject a bit more known.  My situation is a bit different I feel like. The 2 miscarriages that I had to deal with were very early on. The first miscarriage was at 5 weeks back in 2004. The second was around 6 weeks at the beginning of June of 2016. They both hurt and stung, and we did grieve, but I felt like I was able to overcome these losses a lot quicker than some other women who are/were much farther along than I was. According to Wikipedia, the Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Movement began in the United States in 1987. On October 25, 1988, President Ronald Reagan designated the entire month of October 1988 as Pregnancy and Infant Loss Aware...

What a joy

It has been absolutely wonderful being in contact with our birth mom! We were actually able to hang out and have lunch with her on Sunday, along with her 1 year old.  We also were able to meet birth dad for just a few minutes too (he didn't eat with us though, it was at the end when we were saying good bye).  We had such a great time just hanging out and chatting.  We feel completely blessed to have been chosen by such a great person! We are so thankful she's in our lives!!   Birth mom and I have been chatting through text for awhile now, and it feels like we are long lost friends! We have found several things that we share in common and just being able to chat off and on with her has been awesome. I have enjoyed every moment of it!  We have our first apt together this Friday too, and I'm excited because afterwards we get to hang out and chat some more. :) Also, we are hoping that we get to find out if baby O is a boy...or a girl... :D  Either w...
