The Fairy Godparents

6 days ago I had the honor of standing beside my best friend as she became someones wife. I love her more than I can express with words. She is truly the yin to my yang, the female version of my Joshua (and that is saying alot). I don't know how I got to have such marvelous people in my life. When I am the Wicked Witch of the West, they love me anyway.  Her husband is the luckiest man on the face of planet Earth.

Her face is so darn pretty, and her heart is even prettier.  When it started raining on her wedding day she says "I'm just glad this happened to me and not you."  I'll never forget that, one of those moments that change your life. Really. She is so selfless, an absolute angel.

Okay enough with the lesbianism. Although happily I do proclaim that the newlyweds with be Hunka Hunka Baby Hollowell's (HHBH) godparents. Josh and I updated our insurance policy recently and had a lengthy discussion and the results were:  in the event we are both casualties of a plane crash, swallowed up in a tsunami, or spontaneously combust; Callan and Caleigh will raise HHBH. They are the best people for the job, Caleigh will ensure HHBH gets therapy and Callan will supply the pony at HHBH's birthday parties. Perfect, yes I know. HHBH is so blessed.

Aren't they precious? They have that special fairy godparent glow.



Fertility Status Update:  Ovulation has come and gone....I think. I thought I was so educated on this stuff, always knowing when I was fertile and to be careful. But now that I'm TTC I suddenly feel like a complete incompetent. When I am standing on my head try to give the sperm a boost in the right direction my husband insist I am insane. People get pregnant on accident all the time, right??? Well let's cross our fingers and toes that the magic has happened this month because hunting season has snuck up on me and I am about to be a deer widow. A hunting lease in Georgia in combination with the fact that you can't send sperm through the mail could put a stall on HHBH's arrival. And this girl sure hasn't been blessed with any patience. 

Time will tell. God is in control. Peace, Love, and Fertility.

Gentlemen, start your engines....

Anti-Malaria pill free, check. Folic acid supplementation, check. Three used baby name books ordered from amazon, check. Careful tracking of menstrual cycle, check. Roughneck husband home, check.

Just off a 14 hour night at work and I am officially trying to conceive (TTC). Don't want to get too graphic with this entry, but my estimated date of ovulation is September 24th. So faithful blog-followers, all two of you, say a prayer. Send some positive energy to the fertility gods.
