Wow...I am a blog slacker

It's been way too long!!!

I have logged on here almost everyday and find myself unable to write much of anything. The words are in my head, yet transferring them to my fingers onto a computer seems daunting.

Anyway...things have been good over here. My due date is in 10 days! I can't even comprehend this concept. 10 days!!! I am elated, thankful, blessed, excited, joyful, overwhelmed and SCARED out of my pants!! I can't wait to see her eyes open, to hear her cry. I am so excited to hold her to my chest and watch her nurse. I am overwhelmed with love and excited. I am also overwhelmed for the loss of Zoe. I wish she were here with us, but it isn't so. I am deeply thankful for Zoe's little sister....River Zoelle. I feel honored to be the mother of such beautiful little girls who have shown me so much in so little of time. I look forward to cherishing every moment with River, our sweet Rainbow baby.

I can't wait to meet you River! My heart is overfilled with love.

37 weeks...at our baby shower and my 30th Birthday!

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...

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....
