Thursday...

I know that we are supposed to live in the present and that constantly looking forward to the future prevents us from enjoying the day in which we're living.  But with the anticipation of what tomorrow may bring, how can I NOT look forward to it??  I am enjoying the "present" though... my perfect little miracle in my perfect little family.  He is an angel... even at 4am when we have changed his diaper for the 10th time that night and he just ate an hour ago!  Haha!!  He tends to wake up every hour - for example, at 1 am for feeding, at 2 am for a diaper change, at 3 am for either another feeding or because his paci fell out, then at 4am for either a feeding or another diaper.... you get the picture and I'm sure most of you have been there, done that!  :)  But we did go to the doctor yesterday for his circumcision, which went great.  They weighed him and he has only gained an ounce since leaving the hospital - he's only 6 lb, 5 oz!  But my little monkey is eating like crazy so I imagine he will be picking up those pounds (well ounces I guess) easily over the next week or two.

So speaking of anticipating tomorrow... we are hoping with all our might that we can leave tomorrow to COME HOME.  NC had our paperwork this afternoon sitting on someone's desk in Raleigh, and the lady said she had 2 other cases in front of us but that she would try to get to ours before she left today.  Haven't heard anything else, so not sure if she did it or not... But we could still definitely get clearance tomorrow, and hopefully leave by the afternoon.  We are gonna PRAY that is the case!!

Also going on tomorrow -

    I've been horrible at keeping up lately, but I wanted you to know that I've been thinking about and praying for you. Praying that you received clearance to head home and that you're safely back home with your little boy!!!!

14 Days in Italy - Part II

-
 So you’ve packed and prepared… here’s what to expect once in Italy. Just a few tips to make the most of your time in this magical place! Create a shared iPhone photo album between you & your travel mates  I can say that this was so great, my husband took some awesome photos that I appreciated having without saying, “Can you send that to me?” And vice versa. Also that way, only one of us had to have our phone out the whole time LOL. Speak to the staff. They’ll take care of you. Italians are (for the most part) affectionate, friendly people who like connection. We loved that, because post-pandemic it seems like everyone forgot how to be kind and communicate like humans. I made sure to smile, look them in the eye, and try to learn a few words in Italian to show some effort and not look like a clueless American. Specifically, if you get to know your hotel staff and treat them with kindness, they’ll watch out for you and take good care of you. We even got to know our main wait...

Italy in 14 days - Travel Tips

-
Want to see Italy but feel overwhelmed with how to make it all happen? Love a seamless yet “in the moment” type of trip? We’ve got you covered with all the lessons we learned along the way in our 14 day journey through Italy (some learned the hard way). This will be tips for the actual travel part, packing, & preparation. I’ll do another blog post on tips for when you’re actually there. Here we go! Book a travel agent. We used Pandy Hinson with TravelMation - her services are free for you, but are priceless. She’s been there/done that and can arrange pretty much every single detail. This saved so much time and headache.  Book business class. Especially if you’re going to fly a red-eye or basically anytime that could involve any amount of sleep. It’s cheaper than first class but pricier than economy. But the best parts - at least on our flights - were that you get TONS of leg room, ability to lay down, a real pillow & blanket, and amazing food/drinks. We flew Lufthansa into ...

My Story

Image
My eyes are heavy with the haze of anesthesia as I feel the weight of a warm post-op blanket cover my body. I’m suddenly aware of the pain. And then my eyes shoot open and I slur with a heavy tongue and a raspy voice to my husband there at my bedside in the sterile recovery room, “Is it over?! What did he say?!” There’s a pause and a sigh and I suddenly feel a weight in that moment, you know that heaviness of a moment that you know will change your path from here on out. “Babe, he said there’s nothing he could do…” Hot tears stream down my cheeks and the pain of a surgery meant to pave the path towards bringing life into this world is now a dead end. It was my 4th surgery to restore order to my uterus and ovaries, which were a tangled mess of endometriosis & scar tissue from a condition known as Asherman’s Syndrome. When I met my husband, I had already had one surgery that seemed benign enough, but it led to the eventual difficult journey of infertility. Of course we didn’...
