Dating Again

"The more you invest in a marriage, the more valuable it becomes." -- Amy Grant

The longer Chad & I are married, the more I realize date nights are a very valuable aspect in our relationship. Now that Hasting is here, it is even MORE important. I remember when Chad and I first got together, almost 4 years ago.  We NEVER wanted to be apart, and we were on the phone constantly. We went out on a million dates, and had so many different good dates together (even if we didn't go out for the date).
It's easy to let dating slip away now. With Chad having a hectic wok schedule and having Hasting it's easy for us to throw dating on the back burner.

I found this REALLY awesome website for awesome dating ideas, and ways to make your husband feel extra special! I'm so happy that I an across this blog, because it's important Chad and I get that time together. It's a blog about strengthening marriages, one date at a time. Now don't get the wrong idea, Chad and I do not have marriage problems by ANY means. It's just a great website full of dating ideas, without really having to spend money, as well as crafty & creative ways to show your hubby you care :)

Here's a little something that they offer, which I'm going to do! You can never tell your boo enough how lucky you are to have him! This is such a cute St. Patrick's Day idea!

Plans may Fail, but God doesn't

I have decided to not go in to much depth about the passing of Sadler, but I do want to write about it. Writing is very healing for me. The following blog speaks of infant death, please only read at your discretion. Sadler's tiny body reacted negatively to the surfactant that was administered to him to help with the maturity of his lungs. His vitals were stable, until he was given the first dose of those steroids. The first call to come down to the NICU was terrifying. What's even more terrifying is walking in to the nursing staff and the neonatologist reviving your child. Chest compressions and intubation. Stats dropping to a low, low. Loud noises from machines going off. Sitting there, unable to do anything as your child lays there helpless and lifeless. The hospital chaplain approaches and asks if we would like to pray, and of course being a family of faith we do. We cry, and we pray. We pray, and we cry. I text my best friend, Shannon, and asked that she

VBAC Birth Plan

It has been over a year since I last sat down with my laptop for a blog. A LOT has happened. Most people who read these blogs are people who keep up with me frequently, so I won't bore you with some excessively long post about what we've been up to. The biggest thing though, is that we are expecting again! And we are only a little less than 2 weeks away from the delivery of our baby GIRL. I thought I would want to sit down and blog all about pregnancy after loss, and all the highs and lows that come with it. But the truth is, I've just really enjoyed being a little bit more low key with it. We've decided she is our last baby, and my husband took permanent measure to ensure that (love you babe). We announced the pregnancy publicly via social media after we found the gender out around 15 or 16 weeks.  I am planning to have a natural VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), with the hospital that we delivered Sadler at, which is also where Hasting was born

The Natural VBAC Birth of Daragh Wren

On Saturday morning, 12/14, I started having slight bloody show. I also had frequent bowel movements, which can be a sign that labor is near. I continued the day cleaning house, and doing all my normal daily routines. Saturday night, I ended up not getting any sleep. I slept for about an hour. I was having irregular, pretty strong contractions, that kept me up. However, I knew it wasn’t true labor.  Sunday morning, 12/15, I decided to call Chad’s mom and ask her if instead of taking the kids to church, if she would come to our house and sit with them. Because of the intensity of my contractions, I wanted to get out and walk. She came over, and Chad and I went to Aldi and got groceries, and brought them home. We left again and went out to the mall. We had lunch, and then we walked the mall down and back. When I got back, I did a PARTIAL miles circuit, and got on my ball doing a few different exercises to help baby descend. Chad’s mom left, and I got in bed. Around 10pm I noticed
