Finally coming back to write again

It's been so incredibly long since I updated my blog. I needed some time to heal and then some more time to heal from some other things. I have so very much to write about, and I hope to finally write it all down once again. Reading my last few posts healed me more than I ever thought possible. Just putting it out there, writing it down and letting go of it for a while is beyond words helpful. Our nice and neat little update is, after a long road of losing our angel baby, finally having a reason for our miscarriages, and a very rough pregnancy, we are finally a family of 7. We welcomed our sweet rainbow baby on October 22nd 2014. She's, in a word, perfect. The birth, let's suffice it to say for this short summary, was traumatic and scary. But she's here. Isla Jane is really here and she has healed us more than I can ever explain. Life as a family of 7 is very hard, but so very worth every single moment. I would be lying if I said that most days I don't feel like I'm in over my head, but the chaos is welcomed. There's always someone who needs to be held, kissed, hugged, sung to, read a story, or helped with a snack. And this is my life. I wouldn't have it any other way. I have to make this short as my sweet Isla is calling me, she's in need of some night time nursing cuddles(and truthfully so am I). But I'm going to try to come back and write about her pregnancy and birth and then to attempt to keep writing things down as they go so I don't forget. This mommy has to run, so this will have to just be labeled "To be continued…..".
