Eating and sleeping, eating and sleeping. . .two things that I’m finding great comfort in right now. The sleeping is acceptable, but the eating I have got to get a grip of. . .being that I am diabetic. I don’t know how many more cheeseburgers and fries and ice cream my body can handle. But, for some reason it makes me feel better. I tried to eat healthy when I was pregnant and now I’m sort of granting myself permission to eat horribly. I will get back on track soon, though. I promise. Just as soon as I stop feeling sorry for myself.
I’m really doing okay. I’m pretty down, but nothing more than most people feel under similar circumstances. Miscarriage is unfortunately a very common occurrence. It seems lately I have known many more people than usual who have suffered through one. And my heart breaks for every one of them. As you know, I would love to have another child. I do, however, feel unbelievably blessed with the daughter that I have. She is the light of our lives. And, if I never get the privilege of having another child. . .I am more than blessed with what I have.
But, I tell ya. . .the good news keeps rollin in for our family. (I’m being sarcastic if you can’t tell.) Ryan’s grandmother was taken to the hospital by ambulance last night. She currently has some blood clots that are being monitored and addressed. Lots of prayers for her and her family.

Thanks for posting! I have been wondering how you were doing! I'm glad to hear that you are allowing yourself some icecream! It's ok to do that sometimes! We will keep praying lots and lots for you. Goodness, that song from Casting Crowns about "it's still raining" sure seems to fit your family right now. I hope there is some rest and peaceful fun times soon for all of you.
Love
