This will be my last post in November to honor National Prematurity Awareness Month. During the month I’ve been blessed to find new bloggers and resources that focus on both infertility and premature birth. These two topics go together more often than we realize. If we all work together we can raise the level of [...]

With the Thanksgiving holiday just 2 days away, the blogosphere is full of posts about gratitude and being thankful. I wonder, though, how often we really think about what we are thankful for. Do you do this daily? I have a daily reminder to write in my gratitude journal – the “dismiss” button gets clicked [...]

We all have our holiday horror stories. My worst holiday ever was four years ago – the day we brought our daughters home from the NICU for the first time. It should have been one of my best holidays because I had so much to be thankful for. Alisa complied some stories of being Thankless [...]

November 12th was National Prematurity Awareness Day. I can honestly say I didn’t see much publicity about this event. The only mention I saw wan an announcement during the news on the ticker scroll at the bottom of the screen. It wasn’t much, but it was more than in years past. I’m not really surprised [...]

When my husband and I were trying to have a baby I rarely consider how he felt about the monthly disappointment of not getting pregnant. Partially because he didn’t seen to be bothered by it. It was his opinion that it was just taking a little longer than most people, but that everything would be [...]
