Fun in the Sun
We went to the park this afternoon. It was wonderful. I have this amazing video of X on the swings, just giggling away the whole time. I will be posting pics on the new blog, launching it tonight or tomorrow. I've outgrown this place in some ways. In other ways, it has outgrown me. I'll update here with the new address when there's content there.
Anyway, check out this pic. I know it's just silly and stupid and shadows, but I love it. It melts me.
That would be me and X, distorted shadows in the sun on the beginnings of green spring grass. He's becoming so independent. He wants to walk, but he still wants to hold a hand. I'm digging it because I know it's only a matter of time before he screams in protest when asked to hold my hand in public. My sweet Monkey.
Since there is nothing distinguishing about this picture, I'll share it here too.
There's something I love about looking down and seeing a tiny person attached to my hand. The simplicity of it astounds me. The gravity of it overwhelms me.

New Hair
So I've been going on and on forever about how bad I wanted a new hairstyle. It needed red. Lots of red. And some blond. And it needed to be specfuckingtacular. And today? I did it. I pulled the trigger. Here are horrible before and after pics as I am the least photogenic person on the planet. One bonus shot of my ass thrown in (because Mark took one) just to prove that I am completely assless.
*Note the baby hand reaching me a sock. He does love socks.

Moving Soon...
It is the end of a rather short era. Soon, I will put down my proverbial pen here at ITIHYMC and move on to a fresh blog. It's not an attempt to lose readers or disappear in the blogosphere or anything else. It will not be private or password protected... I just need a clean slate. For our new journey, I need a space without our diagnosis, our failed placement, our foster care process, all of it. I need to start over.
I've learned a lot from all this... None of it that I care to repeat. I'll give you a heads up when I'm ready to move. I think it might coincide with our trip to the RE on 3/24. Either way, I'll let you know.

Happenings
I'm braindead tonight, so excuse the random nature of this post.
The baby and I are sick. Like OMG we're going to DIE sick. Took wee one to the doctor today. She very helpfully told us that it's a virus and there's nothing to be done. She assured me that we wouldn't die - it would only feel like it. After we went to the doctor, I brought him home and ran to Walmart. I got a battery operated snot sucking apparatus. It is da bomb. I'm very near using it on myself to rid myself of the demonic glue-like snot. Yuck. I also got a cool mist vaporizer, a vapor plug, some Vick's BabyRub and a few other things. His room is officially referred to as Sick Bay now due to the general helpfulness in there. I had a nap with him earlier, him in his crib and me on the futon. I only got to sleep about an hour, but it was still much-appreciated. Yay napping. Anyway, the point of all that was that we are sick and if you have a baby, you need to buy this snot sucking gizmo. It's awesome.
I called our RE today and set up our first appointment for the dIUI stuff. March 24 at 9:15. I am excited. I am terrified. I am anxious. I am zen. We shall see.
My fortune cookie tonight: Faith is knowing there's an ocean when all you can see is the stream. Isn't that a little like knowing that true parenthood exists even when I only have these children for a very short period of time?
