Has anyone even heard that song? I totally didn't realize 22 was the new thing until I heard it on the radio which I never listen to and then I was like, well..great. I missed it. The only things I got when I was 22 were weird looks when people found out I was already married. Coulda used some T-Swift support back then...
Two posts in one day!? I'm on a roll. I closed the last post and thought of other things I wanted to mention that are less doom and gloomy and more random, but if you didn't get to read the last post because I'm too quick for yo' butt, you can find it here. But anyways, today I was laughing about certain things...
I must say.......I have received so much encouragement from people who have been following along on here because let's just be real--things in my head are so much different than the things on this blog. I try really really hard to have this place be an accurate reflection of my feelings and thoughts but the encouragement I have been getting from all of...
**Sorry to those of you who already got this same message via email. I don't have time to do a unique post about our appointment today so copy/paste it is! :) Thank you ALL for the prayers. We have decent-ish news and good news and news we can still be praying about (none if it is really new news, though.) The decent/poor news...
Read this, immediately thought of our Ellie, and immediately went into prayer for her again: "The enemy always attempts to thwart what God is doing by stopping the generation in which a move of God is occurring. If the sacrifice and dedication of the Christians in a particular generation prevent him from stopping the advancement of God's Kingdom, he will resort to his number...
More daily life conversations with Chris Tate: me: blehhhhhhhhh sometimes pregnancy just makes you feel like a huge beluga whale and there's nothing you can do about it. chris: but you're MYYY beluga whale. me: hahaha......................thanks. *a couple hours later, Chris is reading from the pregnancy/childbirth section of his nursing book* chris: See, Jordan, listen to this. (Begins to read aloud all...
Bahhhh pregnant belly! Pregnancy..man it teaches you so much about appreciating your body and the things it is capable of. FULLY believing that tomorrow is the first of MANY mother's day celebrations with my Ellie girl. And just a few photos from our anniversary celebration in Atlanta. I ended up not taking as many as I normally I do but partially because it...
We have the most lovely midwife. We are just so sad that we probably won't be able to deliver with her anymore because we're high risk--but we're still meeting with her and I am so happy that we are. Seeing her was such a necessary break from the high-risk-hospital-pregnancy-world. We got a little freaked out because we hadn't felt Ellie move in a...
If you're visiting this site because you've heard about Ellie or heard that we need prayer, you can track what's going on with her by visiting the following post links (from oldest to newest..mostly.) Ellie is our first child who we are currently pregnant with. She is having some major complications and we have been told that she likely will not survive. We...
(for the night.) We're headed to ATL like the true gangstas we are to celebrate 2 years of marriage. Goodness. It feels like we've been married forever, and also that it was just yesterday that we had our marriage ceremony. And even though we're celebrating a week-ish early, I wanted to go ahead and post about my sweet husband so we can kick...
Some days are really hard. In thinking about everything that is going on with Ellie, I find myself doing a lot of wondering and contemplating what life was like before all of this happened. I don't even really remember. I don't remember what even used to upset me as my threshold for emotional pain has clearly skyrocketed. This may be a good thing...
