“Even miracles take a little time.” ~Cinderella
Yes, this news seems like a miracle after all we’ve been through. We feel very blessed to inform you all that our family is once again expecting our third little one. We found out this past weekend that many months after our last miscarriage that finally I am pregnant...
July 21, 2010 - 12:49 pm - Congrats Amanda! My prayers are with you!
July 21, 2010 - 12:51 pm - Congrats Amanda! Best of luck to you and your family. You can do it. I have a family friend who has 3 kids and 3 miscarriages. I remember being young and my mother assisting her thru the hard times. Joy will come to you I'm sure!! :D
July 21, 2010 - 1:30 pm - Congratulations, Amanda. God bless and I pray things will work out.
July 21, 2010 - 1:55 pm - Congratulations, Amanda! I am so happy for you and your family! I WILL be praying for all of you. I was at Pawmosa today and thought of our trip. To come home and see this news only made it more special.
July 21, 2010 - 3:24 pm - Congratulations Amanda - nausea is a good sign. I will be praying daily for the little one you carry!!!
July 21, 2010 - 11:31 pm - Congratulations!
July 22, 2010 - 11:02 am - congrats!! positive thoughts for you and your family! take care of yourself!!! :)
July 22, 2010 - 12:28 pm - I am so happy for you. Miracles do happen and I am sending joy and light your way. I am choking back tears at the poem and I want to share one I just wrote yesterday for my sister and her husband who will be burying their third child born at 36 weeks stillborn. I hope it is okay to share it. Unconditional love so plain and pure for a child born an angel with a soul too good. Too good for the kind of heartbreak his loss has brought to the hearts of those waiting and wanting him most. There is no pain that can possibly compare to a parent consoling a child who thinks his loss is unfair. A child who doesn't understand why his brother's heart won't beat. A child who wants to fix things and make his brother and mother complete. All the dreams and hopes dashed by no beating heart. The hearts broken and aching and falling apart. To never have witnessed you taking a breath. Instead we part with you and try to cope with your death. So much love to give so many feelings and words but reality and dreams are now a bit blurred. We say goodbye and although now we part we will carry our love for you forever in our hearts. Thank you for blessing us with your angelic face we release you now with our love as your embrace.

July 22, 2010 - 12:28 pm - just realized the poem got all squished-if you want it in better format, please email me.
July 22, 2010 - 2:40 pm - My prayers for a healthy pregnancy go out to you. We're actually due about the same time and I know well of the fear that comes with hope for a baby, a healthy baby. Congrats to you!
We signed Hope up to play softball for the first time this spring. She played t-ball when she was four but didn’t seem as excited about team sports as she was about swimming and gymnastics so we gave it a break for a few years. This past fall Jason began umpiring little league so she...

We took a little afternoon trip to Bok Tower this weekend. It’s only our second time visiting, but it still remains one of our favorite places in central Florida to visit. It’s not just an amazing place to visit but it’s a...

It’s really hard to believe that Christmas is just five days away. It can’t really be Christmas already, can it?
It still does not feel like Christmas for us this year. Rarely are there years that pass by that our Christmas tree isn’t up the day after Thanksgiving, or that the outside of our home isn’t...

December 22, 2009 - 8:35 am - now that's a Christmas card anyone would be thrilled to receive!!!
Recovery, finally. Yes, it seems like forever since I was last at work, that is until this week. The last time I was on campus before this week was on October 1st. This past Monday I returned to teaching and was thrilled to be on campus for all the classes scheduled to meet this week....
Never in my life have a been more anxious for the month of October to end. Typically October is one of our most favorite months of the year because it’s filled with birthdays, our anniversary and Halloween. So the month of October is finally coming to a close, and thankfully on a good note.
BACK AT...

Today I returned home from my weekend stay at the hospital. As my spirits...
“Pain is never permanent.” – Saint Teresa of Avila
As I near the end of my second day in the hospital I have to tell you all that today has been so much more challenging on many levels. It’s been a long day that I’m so glad has nearly passed. Today I’ve discovered a few more...

My first full day at the hospital has passed. The day began with me feeling pretty cruddy. In just the first day I have discovered a few of the things being in the hospital:
The doctor saw...
October 24, 2009 - 11:22 pm - You actually made me tear up tonight. I've been saying it for days but I just really hope you feel much better soon.

I never imagined earlier today that I’d find myself blogging from the hospital, but here I am...
October 24, 2009 - 1:45 am - Hi Amanda. You're quite a trooper and someone to really look up to. I will pray that you get better real soon. I hope you get some good rest. Wish you the best. ^_^
October 28, 2009 - 9:37 am - Oh Amanda, what a difficult journey you have been on lately. I cannot imagine the frustrations and emotions you are experiencing, even though you are so good at expressing them in writing. I'll be sure to say extra prayers for you and your family. Btw, I have had 2 HSG's and they will be a cake walk compared to what you have been through so far. Hopefully it will provide answers for you and a path to move forward on.
