December Wordle

Click on the title, "December Wordle" above to take a look at the first "Wordle" I've ever made. I didn't know how to imbed it here, so you'll have to go to the Wordle site.

It's All About God...and a baby.

I want what God wants for me...at least that's what my head says. In honesty, I'm hoping to the depths of my being that He wants a baby for my DH (dear husband) and I. Actually, just one baby to start with. I am hoping for several.

Here are some of the facts, though:
* God's will will be done, regardless of my plans. I am loved by him, so am hoping that a larger family is in his plan for my life.
* My dh and I are clinically infertile - we have seen a reproductive specialist, but we don't have results from initial tests...yet.
* I am 36 years old...enough said there.
* I may have other health concerns, but a firm diagnosis has not been pinned down. It may (or may not) end up being MS.
* I have been married more than 10 years, but this is the first time dh and I can really afford the treatments...and it's the first time we've been on the same page since being able to afford treatments.
* We have a wonderful teenager already...so basically, we're committing ourselves to a very long time period of parenting - but oh so looking forward to the new adventure!
* I am remaining anonymous due to privacy issues for my family...but I really, desperately needed an outlet to share my thoughts and feelings...so a blog it is.

I'm praying for a healthy pregnancy and baby in the near future. I have a sono-hysterogram booked for January 12, 2010. Hopefully, if it is clear, we'll be pregnant soon thereafter. My DH and I are so excited...we even have a girl's name already picked out...and are working on a boy's name. Perhaps that is premature, but we can hardly help ourselves...it's so intensely on our hearts!

Longing for Solitude

Many people prefer spending most of their time with others, but I often prefer alone time in nature. If I don't get my quota, I am prone to becoming like a grumbling bear in a cage...and then it's no fun for anyone. I should do better with others when they want to spend time with me, but it is a truly difficult and energy-consuming feat. Please be patient. I am trying.

Greetings

I'm not sure whether or not I'll be anonymous in this blog. There are so many things I'd like to mention, but not everyone in my life would be comfortable with my disclosures.

In the meantime, I will share that I am employed in the education sector, and am the spouse of a Christian minister. I am a parent. I am an individual.

More to come...probably.
