I am still here!

I realize its been 5 months since I last posted and I apologize for the neglect. I did change up my blog a bit so I hope you all enjoy the new look. I will be attempting to update you all on my life in the last 5 months by posting a few update blogs and pics. Thanks for your continued support and for all of you that have missed my posts keep your eyes peeled for more.

We said goodbye a Year Ago....

As today comes to an end I reflect on what the day brought.....

Alot of sadness....

Today marks the one year anniversary of loosing our baby. The emotions came flooding back and I spent most of the day in tears. I miss Peanut, the baby my Husband and I made together. Such sadness was had a year ago, and now much sadness was experienced today as well.

The nice things of today....

My wonderful Husband lit our memorial candle for peanut... and left it burning (safely) for me to see when I woke up this morning!! So VERY sweet... I am happy that he remembered our beautiful baby today!

A friend called to see how I was doing... Very unexpected but so very needed!

I am off to bed to wake up to a much better day tomorrow!!

Mommy and Daddy love you so very much peanut, my perfect Baby in Heaven!

Go Vancouver!!

Wow What A Game!!!! That was some awesome hockey played tonight!! We are now moving onto the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs!! So excited!! This is our year Vancouver!! Go Boys Go!!

When they scored I was (obviously) excited, I let out lots of loud cheering (screaming).... Well my dog thought he should join in to and started to whine really loudly which turned into HOWLING..... Dex thought the Canucks played a pretty awesome game too I guess!!

Here's a pic of the Canucks biggest (doggy) fan!

A year later............

1 year ago today was one of the best days of my life. April 2, 2010 was the day Mark and I found out we were going to be parents. Oh how I miss you Peanut! Here's a picture of myself a year ago, and the very little stick that changed my life.





I never imagined that in one year my life could go from total bliss to complete sorrow, frustration, loss of hope, and fear....

Will I ever get to see those 2 beautiful pink lines again? Will I ever know what its like to feel life inside of me? Will anyone call me mommy? These are the things I think of as I sit here tonite.

I am going to another fertility appointment on Wednesday and hopefully that DR can give us a plan to move forward with.

I ask you this...... Just because I have extra weight does that mean I don't deserve to be a mom?

I know I am a day early on my post but I seem to have time tonight... and sure hope (for my sake) I dont have any spare time tomorrow!

Catch Up

Yet again it seems I have been ignoring this blog.... I have an excuse this time... We still dont have internet and home phone. I get a slow connection off of my husbands cell card but thats about all.... So I will try and do a mass update as to what my life has consisted of over the last month....

We went and picked up a couple of cats. We found evidence of mice in our Garage (Thank goodness its only the garage) and needed some good mousers!! So meet Mom (Chleo) and daughter (Zoey).





Lets see I also made a Diaper Cake for a friends Baby Shower.... She was due on Christmas day and had her daughter a couple of days before December!! Our babies would have been less then a month apart!!!



I also decided that since we have a big house now that we would host Christmas!! Was it ever fun!!! We had a Tobagan Run with a jump, A Snowman Building Contest and a Chinese Gift Exchange. As well as Turkey Dinner. I also spent 5 days Baking.......

Here's a couple of pics of the main level of our house, before anyone arrived! Don't mind the messy Kitchen, as I was cooking a few things...
Oh yeah and the Christmas tree was a tree cut down on our own property, 11 feet tall!







Here is a few pics of the baking I did...... Cashew Cookies with Butterscotch Drizzle, Hazelnut Caramel Chocolate Cups, Spritz Cookies, Chocolate Mint Stix, and Shortbread with a Kiss!






I think that about catches everyone up on the month of December! Oh wait its January now..... better get started on another post... lol!

Happy New Year Everyone!

This last year brings about great confusion for me..... Am I happy to see it go, or sad? One of the best things happened to me in 2010, but then a short month later the MOST tragic thing ever happened..... I will always love and remember you peanut, but I think I am relieved to see 2010 go and am hopeful for a GREAT 2011!!
