Today, I am so grateful for:
1. A 48-degree day in February, with sunshine to boot!
2. The lovely ladies, especially my mom, who posted on my blog giveaway. :)
3. Hebrews' insightful post hits the nail on the head: more people seem to come out in support of pregnancy rather than infertility. In my particular case, once I talked about IF more frequently, more support came my way. However, that is rather atypical.
4. MIRACLES. Congrats to All Things and my BLOOD TEST BUDDY. Some of you readers from my early adventures may recall Blood Test Buddy, who has been TTC for almost 6 years. She is 10 weeks pg! She's the one that accompanied me during my harrowing blood test panel. Praise God for giving the gift of Life to these women!

A Baptism at Last and Back in the Saddle
Ah, summertime. We took a 2-week vacation to my California home, so I apologize for the silence in the blog room. My next post will show and tell of the highlights, including a sailboat ride! yea. Honestly, I think Summer 2011 has been our busiest on record.
Anyway, longtime readers of my blog may remember my friend K, who has 3 babies in heaven (most recently in June 2010). She gave birth to healthy twin boys in May and they were baptized three weeks ago. It was such a joy to behold K and her husband holding two babies dressed in white, surrounded by family and friends. Nearly a year ago, the same family and friends had stood with them in sorrow, beholding the tiny coffin of their daughter, who died at 12 (?) weeks. We had also gathered to say farewell to their other two babies in the previous years. Those funerals always confounded me: This isn't right. They should be holding their baby in their arms, not seeing him/her lay lifeless in a coffin. (These are the moments when I greatly dislike God's will).
I am so thrilled that God has turned their immense sorrow into joy. K has also used her sorrowful experiences to reach out to others. As the priest said to K and her husband, "Many people have been aching for you for this day to come." I think of the many IF sisters in the blogosphere and beyond (particularly one in Boston :) ) who are still aching. Many of us are aching for you, too. May God turn your sorrow into joy someday.
