I was going through my archives trying to clean them up and delete unfinished drafts when I came across this post. It’s incomplete, which is – I’m assuming – why I never published it in the first place. But it’s very interesting for me to look back on it in light of everything that has [...]
I hear it whispering from within me. I don’t understand why it’s there. I don’t like it. I fight against it.

It was Mother’s Day. 2005. Five beautiful years ago. It was our first May in our inaugural home, a home we had planned for and saved for and created out of love and sweat and dreams. A home to grow in. A home to bring our babies home to. A home to grow together in. [...]
First off, the ultrasound was absolutely wonderful! We saw a perfect gestational sac and yolk sac containing a tiny baby measuring 6w3d. And Houston? We have a heartbeat!!!
