TWO ANGEL BABIES IN 2009

Tuesday
Jul072009

hometown glory

You'd think I was allergic to my blog, the way I've been avoiding it.

I login, but my fingers still.

What is there to write? Really?

 

I went through my "to blog" folder on my computer the other day, and found... nothing.

Baby name inspiration boards? I don't really feel like making cute collages about babies, thankyouverymuch.

Cooking and baking? Does eating out count?

Hating Winnipeg with the passion and fire of a thousand suns? Been there, wrote that.

 

I kind of feel like I'm on the edge of something. A curb maybe, or the edge of a dock and I'm looking down and swinging my feet over the still water beneath the warped wood.

It's the anticipation that's killing me.

I want to be home, now. I want to be a mother, now.

I want... I don't know what I want - but I know it's there, in front of me, beneath me, waiting.

...if I stretch I can almost dip my toes in the water.

Two of the things my mum used to repeat over and over again when I was younger (and still to this day actually) is "good things come to those who wait" and "everything happens for a reason". She used to drive me crazy!! But now that I'm older I like to try to think this way too.
So I hope that both of these hold true for you and that good things start coming your way. You'll be home in just a couple of months right? And you'll have your support system and your friends to get you through any future tough times. I think you'll be just fine. :)

When do you guys move? Unsolicited input/advice? You'll find a good Dr. there, get settled, and get preg. It will be MUCH easier to move now (it's tough to stay awake in those first few months) and you'll get all unpacked and be able to focus on a new room to decorate! I know how hard it is right now (ok, I was fortunate enough not to miscarry, but remember, I spent four years battling infertility) but when it happens you'll feel like you're walking on air and all of your troubles and heartache will seem so far away.

As much as I know you hate hearing it I'm going to tell you anyway....that baby that's going to come really doesn't like Winnipeg either. So, therefore, it will wait until Vancouver I imagine. It will thrive in the sunshine and rainy days and your body and psyche will be back to normal and on better terms. This may help! I am pullin' for you and praying for you every day hon!

Oh, the waiting! I know that feeling so well!

Thanks for listing me in your favorite blogs list!

Ok, I hope you don't mind me asking something like this here... How do you put youtube videos on your blog? I'm trying and all I can do is link to them. I'm much more likely to watch (and then go directly to the libraries website to search for Adele) when I can watch something right on a blog.

Thank you!

@ Julie: Next to every youtube video is a little control panel to the right which lists information about the video, it's title, and gives URL and embedding options. I copy the embedding html code and paste it into each post as a video code. Hope that makes sense!
