Food for thought. Or just thought. Thoughts.

I've had a lot running through my mind lately.  A lot.  I mean, there's always a lot going on up there, but this week especially... wow!  It's a little overwhelming even for me.

Mind if I share some of the things occupying me these days?

1. The show Parenthood, amazing!  It's one of those shows where you fall slowly in love with the characters, to the point that you are fist punching the air saying, "Just tell him you love him!"

Oh.  That's just me?  Ok, well, it's a good show.

2. I have been feeling completely humbled and overwhelmed by the amount of love and support I have received over the last year, but the last 2-3 months specifically.  I've had so many people reach out to me, some I haven't talked to in years even, to tell me they understand what I'm going through, to encourage me, or just to tell me they're praying for me.  I don't know if anyone can understand what that means to me.  Going from being embarrassed to talking about it to feeling like I'm in this huge community of love and support, well, there are no words.  If there were any words that meant more than thank you, that's what I would say.  For now though, thank you, from the very, very bottom of my heart, thank you.

3. I have loved Pinterest since I first found out of its existence.  I've used it for just about everything.  Meals, both successful and unsuccessful.  Decorating, both successful and really unsuccessful.  Activities to do with Jayden when he was visiting, all successful ;) And just about anything else you can find on there.  But in the last, probably, well really like a year now, I have been boycotting Pinterest.  It just seemed like there was too much baby stuff to look at, or I wanted to look at it, but it kinda hurt too much.  But, I'm happy to report, I'm back at it!  Tonight I took the plunge and jumped back in, even going so far as to look at pregnancy announcements... what!  I guess you could say I'm getting a little excited for when the time comes.

And that leads me to my last and final mind overtaking thought.  Well.  For now at least.

4. Pregnancy announcement.  I always imagined I would do some over the top, too cute and creative for words, kind of announcement.  Now I'm less sure.  I've put my life, my story, this journey out there for everyone to know.  And I don't know, I guess I feel like it's lost a little bit of the magic.  But I think, for now anyways, I'm still going to go full on, totally unnecessary, too cutsie and creative for words, announcement.  If the time comes where we need to do an iui, I may rethink all this, but I'm believing that won't be necessary.

Anyways, there you have it.  The things that occupy my mind.  Exciting stuff people.  Exciting stuff.
