My dh and I are making plans for IF the adoption doesn't happen. I know, that sounds pathetic but since we both have a hard time thinking it's going to happen...I guess it makes sense to plan. First thing, we are thinking of moving. This house was bought with the intention of growing our family. It's a good house for a family. So with that in mind...we need some updating. Probably next summer though...my dh goes back to teaching soon and we just don't have a lot of time to fiddle with renovations/updating.
I had a revelation the other day while having my morning coffee...no matter what happens with this adoption.....it's all good for we are doing this for God. When you do things or live life for God...it's good. We hope it's in His will for us to be parents.....and we have good intentions...it's all good. My dh reminded me that I've said this before...my response..well I guess I needed to realize this again. God is good.
My dh wants to TTC again...Really? No meds of course. I have no words. There is no hope on that end as far as I am concerned. I guess after learning an older couple than us has conceived....he thinks there is still hope. Unfortunately, that couple did have a miscarriage...and I just don't think it will work for us. Enough on that.
I'm still working out and I brought my dh to the gym as a visitor. He is now going to become a member. He liked it. The funny thing is that I've decided I need to cut calories even more in order to lose weight. Working out is not doing it alone. I understand as we age, losing weight gets harder. But C'mon. This is not helping me stay motivated but I haven't given up. I enjoy what I am doing. Zum.ba is so much fun!! Well, the last couple days I kept having dizzy spells. My mom (retired nurse) thinks it's lo.w blood sugar. She told me to eat smaller meals throughout the day. I get it. Hard to do with my job. Ugh. I have to be more diligent in writing down what I eat and figure where I can make cuts without feeling dizzy. Whenever I try to lose weight or get in shape...I hit roadblocks.Ugh.
St.Anne Pray for us.
St. Collette...Pray for us.
St. Catherine of Sweden...pray for us.
St Michael...pray for us.
First, that garden is GORGEOUS!! Love it so much and so happy you were able to meet the precious sisters who are praying for you. :)
ReplyDeleteSecond, if you don't mind, I've been meaning to ask this for a while, what adoption agency/facilitators are you working with? Just curious! You can just ignore my question if you're not comfortable sharing!
And finally, I love Zum.ba too!!! It's so fun! If you're interested in lowering calories, I'd recommend loseit.com. It helped me lose 15 lbs before our wedding!! It's free and makes tracking calories very easy.
Stephanie, email me that question at prayerfuljourney7@gmail.com...and I will give you the low down.
DeleteThanks for the helpful advice...I will take a look at that website!
I love that garden! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI feel like trying to figure out the eating thing is a constant job. I can eat a ton of some stuff with no change on the scale and not much of other stuff and have big changes. I feel like that's not the same for everyone. And it is tough to figure out how to fuel your body well because you're working out, but not with excessive calories.
That garden is beautiful! How awesome knowing that the cloistered sisters are praying for you.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite an honor. I truly felt the holy spirit at that convent. Actually, my dh and I met at a young adult retreat at a different convent.
