One of the reasons May has been hectic is because Ed has been out of town most of the month. This included being gone over Mother's Day. He felt very badly about it, but this particular meeting was important for him to attend....that is the life of a military wife! With him being gone, I thought I would just try to make the best out of the day. We started with going to church which was nice, but after that the day pretty much took a turn for the worse....why, do you ask? Well,.... it was because of the attitude of a certainly two year old! Natalee was in rare form this day. I had not seen her so cranky and defiant in quite some time, but she manage to wait to have this kind of day on Mother's Day. Lucky me! We did go to the beach/boardwalk twice that day (we had to leave and come back due to Natalee's behavior) just to try to have some fun and get some fresh air, but I can say that I was happy for the day to be over when it was!
Although the day itself was kind of a bust, I will never, never, never take for granted those two little angels God has blessed me with. It remember only too well what it felt like when we were deep in the trenches of IF, treatments, RE appts, shots and blood draws. Life was not fun; in fact I was miserable most of the time. Although I "gave them life", they in turn gave me my life back, a new life. When I look into their eyes I see so much hope, beauty, and innocence. My heart is so full now....God knew exactly what He was doing and I am so grateful.
