Posted by Hannah Rae on Mar 20, 2011 in Life in the Stubborn house Stretching. Growing. Growing pains. Growing JOYS! I was given an incredible book titled “Loving Our Kids on Purpose” by Danny Silk. It’s totally wrecking me, in a completely great and painfully stretching way. I have the opportunity to go to this therapeutic parenting conference in two weeks. If God opens the doors, which He totally is already doing, I am totally expecting to be challenged in crazy ways there too. Plus, I will get to meet my amazing friend, Christine, face to face for the first time. I can admit, I’m more than a little giddy. Yeah, I am totally having middle-school “I want to be the cool kid,” or at least “WITH the cool kid,” anxiety. Finally, Jeremiah has expressed interest in joining the Boy Scouts. I grew up in Girl Scouts (before they started taking sex-ed liberties), and then later, Calvinettes, so I am excited that he is expressing interest in this respected, character-developing program. I contacted two local troops, and I’m hoping that even though he has no experience, we will find a troop where he can fit and excel. He will be challenged, and that is good! How are you being stretched? Blessings!

Anywho, here’s a little Hannah-factoid for you: I am a huge fan of the Duggar family. Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar have been an inspiration to Hubby and myself ever since we saw their first special on TLC back when they only had 14 kids and one on the way. I love the way that they love their children and teach them purposefully about God’s character and who God wants them to be. I love the way they¬† run their home so efficiently. I even love Jim Bob’s awesome hair! Anywho, another thing I really enjoy is audio books. I have a subscription to an audio book retailer that gives me 2 credits to spend on books a month. I go through audio books like water, especially when I am commuting, which I am not anymore, but I also really enjoy them when I am cleaning the house, especially when I am putting laundry away. SO I was so excited when on Monday’s episode of “19 Kids and Counting” Michelle mentioned that she was recording their family’s book into an audio book. The next day I went onto my retailer’s site and found that the book was just released in January. YIPEE! I downloaded it and have been hooked to it ever since. It’s a 6 1/2 hour book, and I finished it in 3 days. What I really enjoyed about it was learning all of their tricks of the trade. Jim Bob is a very shrewd business man, and Hubby has always wondered how they have been able to afford their life style without going into debt. So after I found out, I excitedly talked Hubby’s ear off about how they started out with their small businesses and how God has blessed their obedience. Hubby was asking me to continue, so I knew it had perked his interest. Anywho, it’s very wisdom-based stuff. They’ve made their fair share of mistakes and learned from them, and that is just as valuable to hear. My favorite section is the section that talks about how they manage their household, including discipline and chores. Fascinating stuff. I am still going to buy the actual book, as it would be much easier to reference, but I am such an audial (sp?) learner that I am getting much more from listening to Michelle’s sweet voice explain everything so enthusiastically than I would from reading it. Anywho, again this is just a book I am enjoying and there has been no compensation, but if you want to check out the book you can find it here or the audio book here. Blessings!

I picked it up to start reading today and only got through the first chapter, but I can already tell that this book will be very straight forward, real, and practical. First of all, the authors are from Sioux Falls, SD, which just happens to be my home town. Woot woot! So I knew we were off to a good start. After a good introduction explaining the background of the authors and a little of their story, the first chapter starts off by talking about the journey that is infertility. The chapter walks through the different stages or steps that many experience on this journey. As soon as I started reading I knew that this book was going to challenge my heart to some realities about myself that I would have to chew on. The first step resonated right away, and the more I kept reading, the more my heart screamed “Hey! This is me! How did they get a microphone into my brain?” Okay, so the first step is Fog, and the second sentence of the chapter says “You may have used ‘the pill’ for a year or two while you settled into married life and set up a savings account. But you’ve been off birth control for some time and nothing has happened.” Well, besides the whole savings account thing, that pretty much has described our situation. I went on BC as a very young bride because that made sense. There was no reason to suspect anything was wrong, so of coarse that’s what I did. The pill made me very sick, so after a year and a half I stopped taking it. I didn’t have a cycle for two months, but not biggie, that’s common. But then it didn’t happen for 6 months, and then 9, and then I went an entire year without having a single cycle. That’s the fog. The next few steps are “The realization”, “Downplaying the problem”, “The Shock”, “Denial and Anger” (Oh, so been there!), “Guilt and Depression”, and the stage I am currently in, “Weariness.” The authors say that it is common to flip flop back and forth between the last two. Yup. Uh huh. What I loved is that I was reading my own words, so it makes me feel not so crazy. Wow. Other women have gone through these same feelings and SURVIVED!!! Okay, so tomorrow, maybe I will be able to digest chapter two. I will let you know how that goes. Blessings! Hannah Leave a comment | | Tags: Good Books, infertility

Posted by Hannah Rae ar 20 Márta, 2011 i Saol sa teach stubborn Síneadh. Fás. Pianta Fás. Sólás Fás! Tugadh mé leabhar dochreidte dar teideal "grámhar Ár Kids ar Cuspóir" ag Silk Danny . Tá sé seo wrecking go hiomlán dom, ar bhealach go hiomlán iontach agus painfully síneadh. Tá mé an deis chun dul go dtí an chomhdháil tuismitheoireachta teiripeacha i dhá sheachtain. Má osclaíonn Dia na doirse, a Tá sé go hiomlán á dhéanamh cheana féin, tá mé ag súil go hiomlán a bheith dúshlán ar bhealaí dÚsachtach ann freisin. Plus, beidh mé a fháil chun freastal ar mo chara iontach, Christine , duine le duine don chéad uair. Is féidir mé a admháil, tá mé níos mó ná giddy beag. Yeah, tá mé ag go hiomlán lár-scoile "Ba mhaith liom a bheith ar an kid cool," nó ar a laghad "LE an kid cool," imní. Ar deireadh, tá Jeremiah léirigh spéis i cheanglaíonn na Gasóga Boy . D'fhás mé suas i Gasóga Cailín (sular thosaigh siad ag cur gnéas-ed saoirsí), agus ansin ina dhiaidh sin, Calvinettes, mar sin tá mé ar bís go bhfuil léiriú sé spéis sa chlár seo, meas carachtar-i mbéal forbartha. Chuaigh mé i dteagmháil dhá trúpaí áitiúil, agus tá mé ag súil go fiú cé go bhfuil sé aon taithí, beidh muid ag teacht ar trúpaí áit ar féidir leis é agus beidh excel.He dúshlán, agus go bhfuil go maith! Cén chaoi a bhfuil tú á sínte? Beannachtaí!

Anywho, a anseo beagán Hannah-factoid duit: Tá mé ar lucht leanúna mór de na teaghlaigh Duggar . Jim Bob agus Michelle Duggar bhí ina inspioráid do Hubby agus ós rud é mé féin riamh a chonaic muid a speisialta den chéad uair ar TLC ar ais nuair a bhí siad ach 14 páistí agus ceann ar an mbealach. Is breá liom an tslí go breá leo a gcuid leanaí agus iad a mhúineadh purposefully faoi charachtar Dé agus atá ag Dia is mian leo a bheith. Is breá liom an tslí a reáchtáil siad a n-bhaile mar sin go héifeachtach. Is breá liom fiú gruaige uamhnach Jim Bob! Is Anywho, rud eile taitneamh a bhaint as mé i ndáiríre leabhar fuaime. Tá mé síntiús le miondíoltóir leabhar fuaime a thugann dom 2 creidmheasanna a chaitheamh ar leabhair na míosa. Téim trí leabhair fuaime ar nós uisce, go háirithe nuair atá mé ag taisteal, nach bhfuil mé níos mó, ach tá mé freisin taitneamh a bhaint as i ndáiríre iad nuair a tá mé ag glanadh an tí, go háirithe nuair atá mé ag cur níocháin ar shiúl. SO Bhí mé an oiread sin sceitimíní nuair ar eipeasóid Dé Luain ar "19 Kids agus Comhaireamh" Michelle atá luaite go raibh sí ag taifeadadh a gcuid teaghlach leabhar isteach i leabhar fuaime. An lá dár gcionn chuaigh mé isteach ar mo mhiondíoltóra suíomh seo agus go raibh an leabhar a scaoileadh go díreach i mí Eanáir. YIPEE! Íoslódáil mé é agus tá hooked chun é ó shin i leith. Tá sé ina 6 1/2 leabhar uair an chloig, agus chríochnaigh mé é i 3 lá. Cad a thaitin liom faoi sé ag foghlaim go léir a cleasanna na trádála. Is é Jim Bob fear gnó an-shrewd, agus Hubby tá wondered gcónaí conas bhfuil siad in ann íoc as a n-stíl bheatha gan dul i fiach. Mar sin, tar éis a fuair mé amach, labhair mé excitedly Hubby ar cluas amach faoi conas a thosaigh siad amach lena n-ghnólachtaí beaga agus ar an gcaoi Dia bheannaithe a obedience. Hubby bhí mé ag iarraidh leanúint ar aghaidh, mar sin bhí a fhios agam go raibh perked sé a leas. Anywho, tá sé stuif an-eagna-bhunaithe. Tá siad déanta a sciar cothrom de botúin agus foghlaim uathu, agus go bhfuil díreach chomh luachmhar a chloisteáil. Is é mo alt is fearr leat an t-alt go cainteanna faoi conas a bhainistiú a gcuid teaghlach, lena n-áirítear smacht agus chores. Stuif suimiúil. Tá mé fós ag dul a cheannach ar an leabhar iarbhír, mar a bheadh sé i bhfad níos éasca tagartha, ach tá mé den sórt sin audial (sp?) Foghlaimeoir go bhfuil mé ag dul i bhfad níos mó ó éisteacht le guth binn Michelle ar mhíniú gach rud mar sin go fonnmhar ná mar a bheadh mé ó léamh. Anywho, arís tá sé seo ach leabhar Tá mé ag baint suilt as agus níl aon chúiteamh, ach más mian leat a sheiceáil amach an leabhar is féidir leat é a fháil anseo nó ar an leabhar fuaime anseo . Beannachtaí!

Phioc mé suas chun tús a léamh lá atá inniu ann agus ní raibh ach fuair trí an chéad chaibidil, ach is féidir liom a rá cheana féin go mbeidh an leabhar seo a bheith an-díreach ar aghaidh, fíor, agus praiticiúil. An gcéad dul síos, is iad na húdair ó Sioux Falls, SD, a tharlaíonn ach a bheith ar mo baile dúchais. Woot Woot! Mar sin, bhí a fhios agam go raibh muid amach chun tús maith. Tar éis tabhairt isteach maith ag míniú an cúlra na n-údar agus beagán de a scéal, tosaíonn an chéad chaibidil amach ag caint faoi an turas go bhfuil infertility. Siúlóidí an chaibidil trí na céimeanna nó céimeanna éagsúla go bhfuil go leor taithí ar an turas. Chomh luath agus a thosaigh mé ag léamh a fhios agam go raibh an leabhar seo ag dul go dtí mo chroí dúshlán do roinnt réaltachtaí fúm féin go Ba mhaith liom a chew ar. An chéad chéim resonated ceart ar shiúl, agus an níos choinnigh mé ag léamh, screamed an níos mó mo chroí "Hey! Is é seo dom! Conas a raibh siad a fháil micreafón i mo inchinn? " Maith go leor, mar sin tá an chéad chéim Ceo, agus deir an dara habairt den chaibidil "Is féidir leat úsáid 'an pill' ar feadh bliana nó dhó agus shocraigh tú i saol pósta agus ar bun le cuntas coigiltis. Ach tá tú as rialú breithe ar feadh tamaill agus rud ar bith a tharla. " Bhuel, seachas an rud cuntas coigiltis ar fad, go bhfuil go leor i bhfad síos ar ár suíomh. Chuaigh mé ar RC mar Bride an-óg toisc a rinne ciall. Ní raibh aon chúis aige drochamhras rud ar bith a bhí mícheart, agus mar sin de garbh go bhfuil an méid a rinne mé. An pill dhéanamh tinn dom an-, mar sin tar éis bliain go leith Stop mé ag cur é. Ní raibh mé ag timthriall ar feadh dhá mhí, ach ní biggie, go coitianta. Ach ansin ní raibh sé tarlú ar feadh 6 mhí, agus ansin 9, agus ansin chuaigh mé bliana ar fad gan a bhfuil timthriall amháin. Sin an ceo. Is iad na céimeanna atá amach romhainn "An réadú", "downplaying an fhadhb", "An turraing", "Denial agus fearg" (Oh, amhlaidh ann!), "Ciontacht agus Storm", agus an chéim mé faoi láthair i, " tuirseach.

Maith go leor, mar sin amárach, b'fhéidir go mbeidh mé in ann a díolama caibidil a dó. Cuirfidh mé in iúl fhios agat conas a théann go. Beannachtaí!
