The next couple days in the hospital were so surreal. I was EXHAUSTED, battered and bruised as I boarded the emotional roller coaster named hormones. All I wanted to do was admire my new baby girl, consumed by every fold of plump skin, each strand of her fine hair and the sound of every cry. I was AMAZED.

It is 80 degrees. I do not want to be inside. Get out and enjoy the blue skys. Remember, soon it will be over 90 with crazy humidity and we'll be cursing the weather for other reasons. Maybe I'll take Sammy to the Park and post some pics on Monday.

This awareness week is sponsored by RESOLVE. This organization has challenged bloggers to bust an infertility myth. The goal of this challenge is to bring together bloggers from the infertility community as well as other bloggers interested in the topic to answer the question: What is the biggest infertility http://littlebit-mt.blogspot.com/2011/04/infertility-myth-infertility-means-you.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Marci)0 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nr4m3uP1jwt5bTUs1be3TiENK5c/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nr4m3uP1jwt5bTUs1be3TiENK5c/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nr4m3uP1jwt5bTUs1be3TiENK5c/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/nr4m3uP1jwt5bTUs1be3TiENK5c/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574795988543688528.post-6759394976926930906Thu, 28 Apr 2011 15:46:00 +00002011-04-28T11:46:35.496-04:00husbandfamilybabyThis week I'm honoring National Infertility Awareness week by sharing the one way I've been able to remain positive throughout this journey, letters to my future baby.

I was remembering how we celebrated the holiday as kids. We usually spent it with Momma T's side of the family. In the morning there would be three Easter Baskets lined up on the hearth, each with one large chocolate rabbit nestled in that iconic florescent plastic grass, sprinkled with jelly beans and other various http://littlebit-mt.blogspot.com/2011/04/happy-easter.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Marci)2 <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AuNFMqHM3O-wr7dCQM_BCFLqDZo/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AuNFMqHM3O-wr7dCQM_BCFLqDZo/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AuNFMqHM3O-wr7dCQM_BCFLqDZo/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/AuNFMqHM3O-wr7dCQM_BCFLqDZo/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8574795988543688528.post-2688219519117070549Thu, 14 Apr 2011 20:40:00 +00002011-04-14T16:40:47.669-04:00sammyhusbandsleepEarlier this week I had a RUDE awakening, but before I get into all that, you have to understand some background.  Sammy used to have all kinds of stomach problems when she was a pup. There were weeks straight where we would come home to find her crate a mess with diarrhea. It was heart wrenching to see her ashamed, cowering in her own mess. We didn't keep her in her crate for long.

Her skin turned gray and her smile snuck into hibernation. Age began to show on this girls face, the weight of too many winters wore deep wrinkles around her eyes. Oh sunshine, please bring warmth and rescue this girl. Lift her spirits and smooth her worries. Remind her of the simple pleasures of birds singing and flowers blooming.
