my 2nd endo. surgery

Jeff & I have not blogged in a while. Life got busy! In February I fell off my bike, broke my arm & had surgery to put hardware in there. After weeks of therapy, my arm is finally (mostly) normal again. Two weeks ago, we returned from Haiti where we served for a week doing a vacation Bible school for a group of beautiful children there. Last week, I had my 2nd endometriosis surgery where they found that my endo has spread, they removed 2 cysts from my left ovary, but were able to maintain the ovary & said my tubes looked good.
On Tuesday, I'll return for a follow-up and to discuss treatment options for my endo. A friend came by to visit with her 10-month-old baby while I was recovering. All I can think about is how badly I want a baby in this house. I know that will greatly change the dynamics of our lives, but that is what I want - I long for that change! I want to be disturbed from my sweet dreams in the middle of the night so I can hold my sweet baby. I want the smell of baby to rub off on me. I want to look deep into his/her eyes while I feed them & tell them how precious they are. I want to tell them how big our God is, that He brought them into our lives! I just want to be a Mommy. And I want to see Jeff get to be a Daddy (a role that he will do great it, no doubt!).
So I decided it was high-time I put this out there. Let the world know the desires of my heart that my Lord knows already. I don't care if my design is lame or my spelling is off - that's not the point - the point is for people to see our hearts and to know.
