http://riskingloss.blogspot.com/2014/09/on-subject-of-his-birthday.html
Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Tuesday, September 16, 2014. On the subject of his birthday. The windows of our third story apartment have been let open, letting the sweet cool smell of fall push in. It's that time of year again. And then the week after we signed our lease, we had a shock in the form of a positive pregnancy test. I am less than nine weeks from my due date. Just one week- that is all that separates Owen's birthday and Cooper's due date. Honest...

Waiting For The Day: the hope we have
http://riskingloss.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-hope-we-have.html
Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Monday, July 20, 2015. The hope we have. After Owen died, we went into survival mode. There weren’t very many plans made or at least none that I made. I had no energy for anything except my grief. We lived, breathed and ate our grief. It was everywhere and in everything; in the clear blue skies outside our window, the sounds of children playing down the street, the grocery store. Nothing was innocuous. But what is the mission?

Waiting For The Day: This parenting thing
http://riskingloss.blogspot.com/2015/04/this-parenting-thing.html
Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Thursday, April 30, 2015. It isn't only the daily tasks, the sheer work load of raising three kids that is draining. It isn't just that I don't sit idle or rest at all anymore. It isn't how my house is never clean anymore, or that I spent most of my time making food and then cleaning it up. It is the constant worry. Am I listening enough? Am I paying attention? Am I present with them right now? Worry all the time? My heart has ...

Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Monday, February 23, 2009. November 6 2007 forward. Driving home, I spoke to him through tears. Sobs choking the words. "I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I.your son. I am.our baby boy shouldn't be the first person you lose.". I wasn't lying. There was no anger in my heart. No anger in my words. Devastation slumped my shoulders, sorrow gripped my heart, pain poured down my face; I was in shock. The anger would come later. I cried in ...

Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. Our Cooper is here! Born last Tuesday night at 36 weeks 3 days. He was 5lbs 5oz and cried right away. And then Chris and I cried and cried. It was one of those moments I'll never forget. He is doing really well, and we both came home from the hospital late Friday night. I had a regularly scheduled doctors appointment to check his umbilical cord flow by ultrasound. She said, "Because were going need to...

Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Thursday, February 26, 2009. November 9 2007: After. We were discharged from the hospital the next day. Our sweet, compassionate nurse wept as she handed me a small brown teddy bear. He was the consolation prize for leaving the hospital with empty arms. At first, I didn't want him. I was numb with grief and sorrow. I didn't want a stupid teddy bear. I wanted Owen! I don't remember her name, but I remember her compassion. These ...

Waiting For The Day. When all things will be made right. Waiting For the Day. Thursday, September 4, 2014. Goodbye, sweet sticky Summer. The last time I was pregnant during the summer was seven years ago. There was a long heat wave in Georgia where the high temperatures stayed above 100 degrees for over two weeks. This summer, I'm pregnant again. We went to the beach. I'm 29 weeks pregnant. I'm hot and miserable. I'm ready. And scared. And unsure and overwhelmed and ready. October is just a month away.

Sissy came to us in a hurry, and we have fallen madly in love. But I should back up a little. Adoption has always been in our plans. but we never knew when we would be able to adopt. We always assumed we would have to wait. But when the Lord moves, you have to move too. Do I hold back? Exactly one week after hearing ...
