Ms. Wamp® - I always wished I was part of a big Irish Catholic family and then realized as a plain ol' Southern Baptist I already have more family than I can handle sometimes! Mr. Mc® - a vintage 1982 classic brew....like chocolate - I'm an acquired taste. Normal blogs are typically narrated by one individual - as you'll see...we're not normal but are one. This is our life sometimes adventurous, oft times mundane, but always retold with flourish!

Humbled

Well I thought once a month was good - but apparently once every two months is the average now - not good!! So since my last post in February a lot has happened, and I am excited and humbled!!

You know how when you get a new white car you start looking around and you see EVERYONE has a new white car, or you have a cold, or you want something and EVERYONE has it but you ..... Well that's how fertility is! When you can't get pregnant you band with your fellow sisters struggling in the trenches with you and you take comfort in the fact that there are others who know your pain and can sympathise with you - but then something happens - someone gets pregnant and the wolfpack is reduced by one.  


although i wouldn't mind joining this wolfpack!

I found out on February 20th that I was preggers, and I was excited but scared that I would miscarry again and waited a week and no drama, and then another and then started getting more comfortable that this time things would work out.

Although I was/am so excited about this next step I am still moved to tears and deeply deeply humbled that out of all the amazing women that are struggling with this issue that I am pregnant and not them. There are so many that are so much more worthy than I am! 

I pray for my friends that are still struggling everyday with a heavy heart at how bad it sucks to be waiting on the sidelines hoping to get tapped into the game. I know that they will make such amazing mothers and I can't wait to celebrate and someday that crappy wolfpack of infertility will have no wolves!!!



seriously this wolfpack needs reduction!

And with that I present you with our first family picture with baby blueberry - who is now almost a lime!
Due date is October 31st which would mean a costume party every year - awesome!


Now that I am nearing week 11 I am getting a big more plump which is TOTALLY weird - when in the history of your life has tight pants been a good thing?!! Seriously this whole baby requires some serious rewiring of the female brain. 

In news completely unrelated to me - my baby sister turned 21!!!! Josh has entered his last year in his 20's and Pete Piano Bar still rocks!  We did a sister's couple trip to Pete's for Gail's 21st celebrate and it was greatness. Some poor guy sitting in front of us loving being the only guy at a bachelorette party had to stop his celebrating 3 times so he could get a picture that all approved of.  And speaking of bachloerette parties there may be one coming to the Wampler house soon - stay tuned!!
