I've always felt that parenthood gets sweeter with each passing day. Today is no exception. Liliana and I have been experiencing a closer bond than ever. She is communicating so well and her little personality is blossoming in technicolor. She is so imaginative, humorous and innovative--and I am enjoying this stage in her development more than any other.
As I observe these amazing changes in my daughter, my longing for another child continues to grow. I so desire to love and encourage another little one, and I pray that God grants me the opportunity to do so.
I am beginning to experience anxiety about our upcoming IVF...fear that we will go through all of the physical, emotional and financial sacrifice for nothing. Just when I feel like I've put complete trust in the Lord, nervous feelings creep in and take hold. Obviously I need to work on resting in the Lord. Please pray that I would have peace and total faith during this process.
In His hands, Ramona

Isn't it wonderful to watch our little ones blossom and grow? It's beautiful to watch them grow into independent (although that's a hard one sometimes), delightful children. Enjoy all those moments. Anytime you'd like to venture out to St. Charles for a playdate, let me know! We are around most mornings! Come and witness the (usually controlled) chaos!

Ramona-
I was reading your blog entries again and this one, along with the one earlier this week about Springtime made me just realize that I don't regularly take the time to stop and smell the roses - literally and figuratively (granted things are a little busy around here right now). Thank you for helping me to realize that Praise the Lord that He used your thoughts on your blog to challenge me to that.
Praying for you often that you will continue to trust in Him and that He will give you peace!
