PHOTO 1: Goodnight Daddy. IV had just had a bath and was about to fall asleep.
PHOTO 2: IV loves to talk to BlaBla in the morning. BlaBla is knit elephant rattle...he loves him and talks to him so much every morning while I am changing his diaper.
PHOTO 3: III and IV had a chat on Sunday morning for III left for the training. I love this picture!!!
This week, III held a training for some employees and also attended a industry conference in Downtown Austin. Needless to say, we did not see him much this week. What did people do before cell phones, picture emails, etc. I know these 3 pics I sent him helped the time go by faster. He was so close being in Austin but felt so far away since he was not here. This was especially the case on Sun-Tues since IV had a rough couple of days.
Another feeling of 'close, but so far' has come today in another way. Today I was chatting with an old friend and found out that his brother and wife have done 3 rounds of in vitro with no result. How devistating that must be! I had this overwhelming feeling that I have forgotten where I have come from...the depair of infertility. How close (physically and mentally) we are to IV (our 'result'), yet feeling so far away from the infertiltiy world already. Even in our pregnancy, we blogged, read, shared our story about how the Lord blessed us in His own way but just 7 weeks later, its seems like a foriegn land...not b/c we left but because we no longer qualify. We are parents.
I thought about that this week. We had a retreat meeting and I was thinking about where you were at last year at women's retreat. All we talked about driving home, etc. How far God has moved you in only one year. And what an awesome testimony of His love to share with others...
