Y'all. Life is busy.
Caring for an on-the-move 9 month old and a special needs 5 month old is, well, busy.
Yep, you read that right. We currently have a 9 month old AND a 5 month old. Two infants. Approximately 4 months apart in age. We are just that crazy.
There is so much I wish I could say here. So many stories and cute things I want to share. SO many pictures of adorable smiles and videos of sweet laughter that I can't share with you all.
It's been almost three months since my last update and so much has happened in the time that has passed. It's amazing how much life can happen in what feels like such a short time, but also how slow time can move when waiting for specific dates.
Sometimes it's as though life is passing me by, like I'm standing on the sidelines while everyone else is moving forward. As foster parents it can feel like we are living two separate lives. The one that everyone knows about and sees, and one that is secretive and hidden to protect the lives of the children in our care. Foster parenting can be so isolating sometimes. Thankfully we have a good support system in our family, friends, and church. This life is still hard, though. It's a roller coaster that makes you want to yell, scream, cry, puke, beg to stop and get off. But then you see that baby smile or hear the sound of belly laughs and remember why you stay on that roller coaster. God is good.
The infertility side of life has not changed at all. We are not doing anything medically right now. In fact I haven't seen my RE in almost a year. We are coming up on 2.5 years of infertility now. It still hurts. It's still hard. God is still good.
