Thank you friends for continuing to visit as I continue to not write. Partly I’m busier than I’ve been in awhile…and partly I’m depressed. I want to be excited about stuff again…hopefully soon! Don’t give up on me! I’ll be back …
Thursday night I went to bed anticipating my friend Naomi’s baby’s impending birth – we were all guessing about the baby’s size, weight, name – all those things we do at times like these. I awoke on Friday to the news that her daughter, Lillian, had been born still.
This, of course, brought back all the memories! Oh, if I could only spare another mother from those feelings!! And, I have such guilt that I had 9 mos of Joshie to hold and cuddle – Naomi never got that with Lillian!
But the Lord is good. I’m confident that these babies are better off where they are now.
Going to keep this short for now as it’s still a bit too raw…I want to say more but need to process my feelings more. Please keep Naomi and J3 in your prayers!
Today I’m cohosting (with my sister Beth) a baby shower for our sister-in-law Christy. Ironic, huh? Grieving and celebration….Lord, give me strength!
I got a box of Spring from my Secret Pal!! I just love getting mail and getting a box of goodies – well, there’s just nothing to compare!

My Secret Pal sent me – (in no particular order):

Thank you Secret Pal….whoever you are! I feel special!!
Thank you gals for the love and support earlier this week! I knew my period was coming…but I didn’t remember how down it gets me! I appreciate you all so much!
I haven’t wanted to blog – I keep thinking I have nothing to contribute. I keep wondering why anyone would care? Why share about my kids or my day or my knitting or my thoughts or my grief?
I still don’t think I have anything to say, but I hate that my blog is getting dusty. So, let’s see….oh, I did finish my first sock…made it into a slipper for #1 son – he’s thrilled and anxiously awaiting the match. I did something wrong in picking up the stitches though and there is a hole in the 2nd sock. But he said, it’s your first one mom…just finish it. 🙂 He can be such a nice boy!
Even though I’m still totally confused about picking up the stitches – I really am enjoying socks! My dear SP sent me some Magic Strip yarn and I’ve decided to get going on them. So, today I’m checking my gauge and hope to have them on the needles by this evening.
