Unlucky me!

Sometimes I feel like I have shitty luck! Seriously, if something can go wrong...it will. In the last 5 weeks these are the things that have happened.

1. My water broke
2. Zoe passed away
3. Our car broke down when we got home from the hospital
4. Tim's student loan got all screwed up
5. Our ceiling leaks in the living room-land lord hasn't fixed it
6. Our car broke down again!
7. I got a speeding ticket the day my broke down for the second time

Hmmm...I know there is more but I just can't think of them! ha. Seriously, it is almost comical.

However I have had many beautiful things happen in my life, so I suppose it would only make sense to list those as well.

1. We met the most beautiful baby I have ever seen, our daughter
2. Our family and friends have been AMAZING!!!
3. Tim and I have grown and learned a great deal about each other and our selves.
4. I have met a group of people through a support group who are incredible and caring!
5. We are in the midst of buying a house
6. My car did get fixed for under $1000...I guess it could be worse
7. We hung out with old friends Mary and Brian! I LOVE THEM dearly!!
8. A group of family and friends are raising money for the March for babies in Honor of Zoe.

Sometimes my journey is difficult to understand. I think life is full of up's and downs and growth. None-the-less it can be a painful process. Hopefully the start of this year will be the end of my bad luck.

Seraching for balance...

Wow...I have been a seriously slacker...again. I write on a private blog for River for family, but I find myself writing on here less and less. This blog helped me heal and grow through my grief...but I also know I am never truly healed. Zoe's loss will always be with me. These days I find myself struggling with balance in my life. I seem to be all over the place. After we lost Zoe I was searching to fill the void in my life. At the time, I thought getting a puppy would help distract my mind...it did. The following year we rescued a second dog. Now here we are with a 9 month old and 2 very high energy dogs. I have an extremely difficult time managing our husky, despite how much I love him. I feel like my priorities shifted in such a huge manner...I don't have the time I once did to attend to his needs. I feel like such a terrible dog owner, but at times I feel like it may be time to find Sawyer a new home. He is such a sweet, loving pup...but his energy level is OFF THE HOOK....

I can't believe it happened to me!

Sometimes I am in complete awe that we have a baby. I am so in love with River and I feel very fortunate! River is a really good baby; She eats great, sleeps well, smiles tons and is easily comforted when cranky. I am really happy to have her here. On the flip side, I am learning all of the beautiful things I missed out with Zoe. Bath time, reading books, cuddling, smiling, cooing, bites of new foods, so on and so forth...the list could go on forever. I still battle with postpartum depression, but I do feel like I am coming out on the other side. My sad days are fewer apart. I still feel terribly guilty that I battle depression. We have tried so long and so hard for a baby that it seems selfish of me to be sad when we have a perfect baby in our arms. HOWEVER, it's not the kind of thing I can control. I still have a lot of depression related to nursing. It hurts me that it didn't work for me...sigh. But, River is super healthy and growing well and at the end of the day, SHE is t...
