It's been awhile. A really long while. Suffice it to say...I've been a little busy. And mostly a little unmotivated. I've decided that the most likely way to "get back to the blog" is to sum up the last few...er 6months?!? is that possible?...
June-Our trip back from Ohio was more eventful than I'd like to talk about and let's just say, the following few weeks were full of phone calls and frustrating conversations. It rained 21 out of 30 days in June. It was a bit of a downer. A positive end was when Jason was [finally] approved as my sponsor! Hooray! This meant that I could maybe possibly be covered by MSP for the birth of the baby. More on that later.
July-It was a rough month as we learned that our baby in utero had "the most irregular heartbeat" that the midwife had ever heard. Consequently, the rest of the month was full of specialist appointments, multiple ultra sounds, seeing the midwife literally every other day and lots of praying. To take our minds off things (and celebrate my birthday a little early) Jason bought me tickets to see Neil Diamond in Vancouver. It was fabulous. I think even Jason didn't mind it so much. :)
August-My birthday month! Let's see...this month was full of baby prep! Packing bags, taking pictures and getting pedicures. I was tired most of the time, as was expected, but still worked a bit on getting the house ready. We were so blessed by friends and family who stocked up our supply of baby clothes and necessities like a swing, cradle and carrier. We even found out that I would be covered by Jason's medical. I got my very own care card!! And then...the baby didn't come. I suppose he just wanted his own birthday month...
September-Isaiah Daniel van Leeuwen was born on September 2nd. There will be more details of that "experience" on Isaiah's blog (which will also hopefully be updated and ready for viewing soon). It was a beautiful month filled with sunshine and joy. Gina came up for a visit and we also had a meet and greet for Isaiah. We felt so blessed by everyone's presence and for the meals that were also prepared and dropped off at our home. The best part of all, though, was that little Isaiah was in perfect health. Praise God!
October-Fall is by far my favourite season. The rain started in this month, which was a little disappointing. However, the colours were still vibrant, even against a backdrop of grey. We celebrated 6 family birthdays and had fun visiting Alder Acres again.
November-This is a month to be thankful! I am thankful for a super fun girl's shopping weekend to kick off the month. I am thankful for a trip to Ohio to show off our amazing son. I am thankful for lifetime friends who are always good for a laugh. I am thankful for a hardworking husband. I am thankful for nights with a little more sleep than the last. I am thankful for a house that is still a work in progress. I am thankful for having family in two countries that I love and I know love me. And so many more reasons....Happy Thanksgiving! Here's to more blogging in the future!! ;)
