We were heading out to attend my sister-in-laws rehearsal dinner! Such a fun weekend:)
NEW YORK, NEW YORK!
Last week I was in NY for an annual conference. The venue changed to a hotel right in Times Square, where it used to be right across from Central Park and was amazing... It was spring break, so tons of kids everywhere AND it was raining/snowing- so venturing out of the hotel during non-conference hours or cocktail receptions where I could not cocktail.. was a no-go. Kind of a dull week but great net-working and seeing my pals in the industry is always fun.
It was Baby Taylor's first trip to New York.. She has already visited Indiana, Iowa and New Mexico and has a couple more trips coming her way in the next two-three months.
A new life!
After a year of heartache, we have a keeper!Preston and I found out we are expecting again on the day of our Christmas Party this year- so the beer can was in-fact filled with apple juice---- gotta be clever around our pals, they are always suspecting:)
I can't fully explain the emotion that goes into finding out your going to have a sweet baby especially after loss because it is such a mixed bag! You see, the first time was exciting and my heart was so happy, the second time, I was timid and terrified and this time around, I was all of those things and cautiously optimistic.... I never wanted to let myself think beyond a substantial point so that just maybe I could shield myself from heartache again. The innocence and PURE joy is gone after losses but there is always hope. The craziness came out in full force, constantly worrying, googling and praying for answers.. I even purchased a fetal doppler at around 9 weeks which, let me tell you, has been a God-send that has eased my mind 1, maybe 2 or 3 times a day when I get the hankering to find her sweet heart-sound... annnnnd, I am pretty sure Preston thinks I am certifiably crazy but, I guess he is stuck with me!
Over this year, I have also realized what a great husband I have. How supportive and loving he is and that getting through such sadness and loss not only strengthened our marriage but also made me realize that we can get through anything, and, gave me the most overwhelming sense of who he will be as a father... Loving, understanding, compassionate, patient, kind and all in.. no matter what. He has always been my heart and I am excited to share him with our sweet baby girl who will surely love him as much as I do!
Now, if we can only AGREE on a name!
