I’ve been swimming laps this summer in the same pool I swam laps in two years ago, in the summer of 2012. That was the last summer our family and my heart were whole. I swam laps every day to try to lose my Asher baby weight and to prepare my body for my next […]
Yesterday I was feeling overwhelmed with fear for the baby and was even feeling scared of God. Sometimes I am afraid that His best plan for my life includes more suffering and terrible loss in the future (including the loss of this precious baby.) I was alone in a pretty courtyard while Josh took the […]
So, you’ll never guess who contacted me this week…Kailee and Peter, baby “Scarlet’s” birth parents. The last time one of them contacted us was October 11th before the baby was born. After that, they completely cut off communication with us and ignored all of our attempts to contact them. Apparently they just now read my […]

This week has been busy and full of ups and downs. The ups have outnumbered the downs so we are thankful for that. We’ve actually had a lot of encouraging things happen this week.
