Great article Mandie!! This is really shaping up to be a wonderful series. I'm so sorry about your family's cancer history - PCOS is just the evil gift that keeps on giving. :(
Hi Mandie - I found you through Keiko's blog. Thank you for pouring out your heart in that post. You have been through so much and you are so strong. I love your blog!! Love the little price pictue. I am also a Montessori teacher so I loved that post about it. (I know you can buy a book on Montessori for baby but it looks like you have incorporated a lot of the ideas already). I am also unsure about the whole baby on the floor thing - will prob not do that! But thanks for all your ideas and links. I also liked your post about the chinese herbs. I am going to a homeopath / acupuncturist and he is helping me regain strength after my lap. (I don't have PCOS, I don't think but I did have a cyst and some endomtriosis removed). Anyway it is good to connect with you. I really hope things work out for you with the adoption journey.
Thanks Melissa! And yes, it is the evil gift that keeps giving - argh!
Heather: So glad to "meet" you! :-) That's so cool that you're a Montessori teacher! I really wish there was a school nearby us, but there just isn't. When I lived in Nashville there were several options, but of course I wasn't married or thinking kids then. *le sigh*
I know the acupuncture will help you - I just know it! Much good luck to you on your journey, my friend! Oh, and thanks so much for the good thoughts on our adoption...we are just hoping for the very best of situations this time around. Be blessed!
I'm an Irish dual-citizen - a writer, musician, and artist dealing with infertility, international adoption, and loss due to cancer. I try to be as open and honest about my life journey as possible in hopes that my experiences with both sadness and joy will somehow help others.
After battling infertility and loss for four years, my husband and I were matched with a beautiful baby boy born 1/2 a world away.
Desmond was born in December of 2011 across the ocean; and we are eagerly awaiting the day we hear we can travel to his beautiful birth country to bring him home for good.
In March of 2013, we lost my mother after a long battle with Philadelphia positive, adult, acute lympoblastic leukemia. She was cancer-free, but her new immune system could not fight the infections she contracted. It was a terrible blow to my entire family; and I am heart-broken that my son will never know her here on this earth.
Even in the midst of pain and suffering, God continues to bless us and guide us on our journey to parenthood; and we can't wait to see how He will continue to open doors for us and blow our minds with his far-reaching and unfailing LOVE - it is furious!
Visit our adoption website www.lovesplosion.com to order our "LOVE WINS" t-shirts or donate to help us bring our precious wee one HOME! We are so grateful for all of those who can bless us in this way; so, THANK YOU!
Thanks for stopping by; your prayers and support are so very appreciated!
