Text of the page (random words):
joy comes in the morning skip to main skip to sidebar joy comes in the morning 2 13 2013 a year and a little more has it really been over a year since my last post i guess i sort of reached a point where i was just done with blogging i wasn t sure why i was doing it anymore and honestly i just didn t feel like i had anything super important to write about after writing about sara s story for over 2 years i just didn t think anything else mattered as much but here i am back with another post the main reason i m back is because we re expecting baby 2 technically baby 3 but more on that later when i was pregnant with wyatt i used this blog as a pregnancy journal of sorts and i still enjoy looking back on those posts remembering the excitement and joy as well as a few of the not so fun parts about pregnancy i d really like to document this pregnancy in the same way and i figured this was probably the easiest way to do it with that said consider this pregnancy post 1 as i get back into it i ll probably write about other topics unrelated to pregnancy so yeah no more hiding it i m around 14 weeks pregnant due mid august but let s be honest it could be early september if this one is anything like wyatt noexpectations we are all so excited including the little mr pictured above he is thrilled about becoming a big brother and goes back and forth on whether he wants a little brother or a little sister brett and i both think it s another boy but we ll find out for sure at the end of march god sure has blessed us with this pregnancy and we re very thankful we had a miscarriage back in may and would ve been welcoming that baby into our home in december i know so many women deal with miscarriages and sometimes multiple miscarriages both early in their pregnancies and late and some that even make it all the way to labor and delivery before losing their precious baby my heart aches for all these women but i have been so encouraged and uplifted by several of them something that has been drilled into my brain and heart over the last few years is one simple word hope rejoice in hope be patient in tribulation be constant in prayer rom 12 12 we found out that i had miscarried at my 12 week appointment but i had already lost the baby over a month before that point viewing the ultrasound it was determined that our little baby had stopped developing at 8 weeks and 3 days i of course wanted to know exactly when that day was and what i was doing regardless of the fact i couldn t have prevented the loss so upon arriving home and in tears i flipped back through my calendar until i found the date 8 weeks and 3 days may 2 the 1 year anniversary of sara s death my emotions took over initially i was so angry why would god give me another reason to hate this day of all days why may 2 but then i began to find comfort in it as strange as it may sound i found comfort in thinking this is sara s baby she is holding and rocking and loving on that little baby showing the love that i would ve shown him her if i could and whether or not that s true i can t help but think that god orchestrated the timing so i would find the slightest bit of comfort through those thoughts i will always keep that image in my heart the story doesn t end there though as one would expect i struggled for awhile with the loss of this child and as the due date drew closer and closer it became even harder the what if thoughts started creeping in and i just longed to be holding that baby but wouldn t you know it the day before my due date i took a pregnancy test positive i couldn t believe it so i took another one ok maybe two and sure enough they all read the same result i was so excited yet so scared at the same time but here we are 14 weeks later and although i still get anxious every once in awhile i m doing my best to trust in god s plan and continue being excited and thankful for this little one growing inside of me so thankful posted by kari at 5 03 pm 8

really do love christmas it s such a fun time of year with such a significant meaning christmas decorations music holiday parties white elephant gifts cold weather warm sweaters and the horrible for you food yummy holiday drinks it s all so good our first christmas tree for our first christmas in our first home that s a lot of firsts the hard but still good thing is everything about the christmas season reminds me of sara and if you read my mom s blog or talk to my other family members you ve heard them say it too sara loved christmas she loved the red holiday cups at starbucks the movie white christmas singing christmas songs at the top of her lungs fighting for the last scotchmallow in the see s box any excuse to wear red or have red fingernails and spending countless hours in target finding presents but mostly she just loved when we were all together my favorite ornament pairing i have so many great memories of sara and christmas fun memories hilarious memories countless memories so that s what i m going to try and focus on this christmas and every christmas to come not how sad i am that she isn t here but how great things were when she was and how blessed we still are here are some pictures from the past several christmases 2006 before all the spouses 2008 after the christmas eve service with the addition of brett brady to the family 2008 gingerbread house contest girls vs boys unfortunately the boys won 2009 6 months after sara s diagnosis 5 months into my pregnancy with wyatt and days before sam kimberly s engagement 2009 sara and her fake boyfriend jacob courtesy of her besties 2010 playing a game of quelf games with sara were always entertaining 2010 wyatt s first christmas sara s last their only miss you so much this christmas and always posted by kari at 6 51 pm 1 comments labels family our forever sunshine sara s stupid cancer the holidays 10 30 2011 ewald as i mentioned in one of my previous posts this fall has been beautiful seriously beautiful it has allowed for us to enjoy regular afternoon early evening walks that almost always include the same route to a nearby park i enjoy these walks for several reasons but here s one of them ewald it might be my favorite street in salem okay i don t know if i can say that for sure but it s definitely my favorite street in our surrounding neighborhood especially this time of year the trees go on forever and you almost don t notice the houses beyond them or the fact that it was garbage pick up day when i took this photo within the next few days these trees will be all shades of red orange and yellow and absolutely breathtaking i told brett on our last walk that i wanted to take family pictures in the middle of ewald that s how much i love it unfortunately he didn t quite understand my desire to stand in the middle of some random street just to get a beautiful picture but i m pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that he just doesn t enjoy being in pictures period you win some you lose some so even though i probably will never get family pictures on this street i know i ll enjoy family walks down this street for years to come and just because a post wouldn t be complete for certain grandparents without a picture of the main man here s how most of our walks end up wyatt sick of being in the stroller wanting to get out and walk and then wanting to push the stroller all by himself since these pictures wyatt has received a fresh new do these pics made me realize just how long i d let his hair grow yikes thankful for these clear fall days i know they re coming to an end but i ll take them while they last posted by kari at 12 53 pm 0 comments labels bubs thankful for things i like love 10 24 2011 answering the question how was your trip at the beginning of october wyatt and i took a trip to my parents house for a long weekend i had been super busy with work and was in need of a few days off plus my older sister heidi was heading home for the weekend too it was a much needed time of relaxing and being with family it was the first time i had been back home since sara s service in may it was a little difficult i found myself just wanting to sit in her chair all the time it made me feel closer to her somehow i couldn t however work up the emotional energy to go to her grave site i ve struggled with that side of things from the beginning it s interesting how all of us in our family deal with things so differently it makes it difficult to know how to talk about it at times i know my parents and siblings want to be there for me and vice versa but i don t necessarily want to burden them with my pain when they are dealing with enough pain of their own we all know it s not burdening each other but it s hard not to feel that way it s one thing to grieve as an individual but how do you grieve as a family we re working through all of that all i can say is i am so thankful for a family who knows god and loves each other i can t imagine going through this grief and sorrow if those two things weren t true speaking of family we really did have a good time with each other wyatt was the center of attention as always and i m pretty sure he didn t mind it he really loves his boppa and maama which is toddler talk for grandpa and grandma and he s still working on saying heidi it sort of comes out as hi e in true fallon fashion my dad and i took wyatt out to the dairy there were a bunch of brand new calves and wyatt enjoyed walking by and waving at them all but then he spotted the tractors and was quickly done with the cows his tractor and truck noise is mah mah with a slight grunt behind it it sounds a bit like mama which makes it somewhat embarrassing when he says it out in public while pointing at large trucks ah well we were able to go to church on sunday and i always enjoy hearing my dad speak he spoke from philippians 4 on how we should live joyfully gracefully prayerfully thoughtfully purposefully gratefully and how all these things are prerequisites for contentment he reminded us that in order to truly be content we need to embrace god s provision and god s sovereignty only then will we find an inner rest and peace that comes from being right with god and knowing he s in control it was exactly what i needed to hear dad i should have told you that sooner thank you for having the strength to talk about something so difficult and so close to home so yeah overall it was a really good trip hard but good which seems to be the answer to most questions these days good thing the two can coincide with each other posted by kari at
