About Me
- Maria
- God has blessed me tremendously with an amazing husband, Doug, and two gorgeous little boys, Gavin and Joey. It has always been a dream of mine to have a large family but God may have other plans. I had a series of 6 consecutive early miscarriages when trying for baby #2. We are currently trying for baby #3 after our 7th miscarriage. I am faithful that God's plan is perfect, even when I am not happy about it. I love comments and meeting new followers so please don't be shy!
We Salute You!

2013
I have big plans for 2013. Huge.
First of all, I am not going to be infertile this year. I spent all of 2011 and 2012 hanging out in the Land of IF, and frankly, it just isn't the place for me this year. I have my bags packed. Now all I need to do is get pregnant.
Second, I have proven that I can lose weight if I try. I have also proven that eating mass amounts of junk food and not tracking my food intake leads to gaining weight. I am ready to get back on my treadmill and start sweating again. I am going to go back to making good choices and cooking healthy meals for my family.
Third, I am going to kick the habit. No more pee sticks for me. I am going to ... eh. Who am I kidding. I will not.
Forth, I am going to say goodbye to my jealousy. No more "oh woe is me" when I see a baby picture or pregnancy announcement. I am going to remind myself that my time will also come.
Lastly, I am going to focus more of my time and energy on prayer and developing a better relationship with God.
Have you made any resolutions, goals, plans for 2013?

It is a well-documented fact that guys will not ask for directions. This is a biological thing. This is why it takes several million sperm cells... to locate a female egg, despite the fact that the egg is, relative to them, the size of Wisconsin.

Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but they can usually be sedated with a few pieces of chocolate cake. ~Author Unknown

Habit, if not resisted, soon becomes necessity. ~St. Augustine

Resentment is like taking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I had struggled so hard and so long that I had simply exhausted myself, only to find that God had all the time in the world to wait for me to allow Him to free me.

I love comments but if you are seeing this, I'm afraid that no one will see your comment. On the blog, I use Disqus commenting and it sometimes takes longer to load. Also, if you ask me a specific question, I am able to respond to those using Disqus. If you ask here, I am unable to reply. But, again, I love to hear from readers so however you comment, I thank you!!
