Birthmother’s Day

Saturday (May 12) is Birthmother’s Day. I got an e-card from the Adoptive parents today. Through Bethany, which is a Christina Adoption Agency. It’s the one Catelynn and Tyler used on 16&Pregnant and Teen Mom. The video is of Adoptive Parents and Adoptee’s sharing how they feel about the Birthmother. There are 3 videos, one from Adoptees, one from Adoptive Parents and one from Families – you can view them here. They’re just a nice way to let the Birthmother in your life know how you feel about her, and how much you appreciate her and her choice.

So don’t forget us Birthmom’s…just because we aren’t parenting, doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be recognized as mother’s. As we made the ultimate sacrifice for our children. And that, in my mind, makes me a wonderful mother.

So I’ve been off my meds for a few weeks now, and so far, so good. I’ve had a little problem sleeping, but I think if I just stop the caffeine at a reasonable hour I can fix that myself. But once I’m asleep I can usually sleep for a few hours. Unlike last night, I got about 6 hours, went to bed at 3am and woke up at 9am…I’m hoping to not start the insomnia…

I have been pretty good, in a stable mood, just a little moody, but I think that’s PMS…I’ve also been crampy, and it is that time of the month, so I’m sure that’s all that is…

Having the hubby home has been AWESOME! This weekend we will spend it at a hotel in Wakiki because we have 2 balls – one Friday and one Saturday, so we figured why not just make a weekend out of it. We are going to have a great weekend!

Then in just a couple short weeks we will be in Vegas, still got some stuff to do to get ready, but I’m so stinking excited. After that we will be in Georgia/Tennessee and then Virginia! It’s going to be a super stressful time, but so worth it! We get to be tacky tourist and see family! So win-win!

As always, we have a laundry list of places to eat – and I was informed that Chick-Fil-A wouldn’t be some place we eat 4 times…He’s CRAZY…we gotta eat there at least 3 times, once for breakfast and at least twice for lunch/dinner…maybe even 3 times for lunch/dinner…not sure what else is on the list off the top of my head, but Olive Garden, Red Lobster (I’ve heard bad things about the one in Hawaii), TGI Fridays, Applebee’s, Cracker Barrel, Formosa, Amigo’s, Red Robin, and I’m sure there are many more…it wouldn’t be a trip to the mainland without LOTS of food!!

Wordless Wednesday

Thanks again to Taylor at Nine3Oh Creative (or her blog)

He’s HOME!

He’s home and I can breath again. The ceremony was amazing, and emotional. It was funny because I left the balloons at home, so we had to turn around and get them, since I told the hubby to find me with the balloons. Luckily we live about 5 minutes from the Gulch.

Taylor, from Nine3Oh, came out and took pictures, the ones she’s posted so far are AMAZING! She was super nice and fun to have at the ceremony. She posted a teaser on her page, and each one is amazing!! She also took a couple with my phone, so I could post them right away.

horrible at waiting

Ya’ll all know how BAD I am at patience and waiting. But the last few weeks have started DRAGGING, and the next days, even hours, will be the worst ever.

I’m waiting impatiently for my husband to get home. Like I said, we all know how bad I am at waiting.

I’m working on the house with a friend, she’s really helping me out. I’d be lost without her.

So I’m hoping to have good news on the husband front soon. But I have NOTHING. A big fat NOTHING. I guess you could say I’m in LIMBO…

So I’ll just stay busy until the time comes to welcome him home. And oh what a great day that will be!!
