Still here

For those of you following along on our IVF saga, we got the official results today that I'm not pregnant. Not one bit. And it is raining. Perfect weather for my mood. Actually I like rainy days. Just not too many of them in a row.

I'm sad, yes, but it's also a reminder of what a huge miracle and blessing Emma is. She cracks me up. As I was writing an email to tell friends and family the results, she's in the background saying "Hi, babe." I'm not sure who or what she was talking to. Lately she says "Hi" to everything and everyone. It kind of scares me in public. But if people talk back to her, she usually gets all shy on me. And that's okay with me.

Part of me is relieved just to know the answer. I've been like a worrying bump on a log for the most part this week. I overheard the man that went before me to get his blood drawn telling the nurse why he was there. He was an older gentleman and he had bumped his head. He had developed a headache and apparently he had hemorrhaging in his head. Obviously it wasn't horrible or he would have been in the hospital. He used some other technical sounding words and I was trying to watch Emma at the same time, so I didn't get all the details, but it sounded scary to me. Anyway, what got my attention the most was what he said that his wife told him. She told him something like this: "If only you'd pray as much as you worry."

Amen.

What a wise wife! Praying can get you through lots, and can even pass the time if need be.

Sorry for your bad news, and I'm praying for you guys about the next step.

With the craziness of life here, it's been a while since I've commented at all. However, you won't believe how often you both are on my mind & in my prayers. I feel for you in this difficult season.
