Well........I'm not pregnant this time, but late last year the layoff rumors began to circulate again. And would you believe, Shane was recently displaced in Springfield but offered a position in Wichita! That's right, here we come (back)! The house went up for sale yesterday. This area is really beautiful but it will be so nice to be close to our family and friends again!
So, I'm figuring.....since we're doing this whole deja vu thing backwards, the next thing we should do it get pregnant, right? We'll have to get working on that. Stay tuned!
P.S. Don't forget to cast your vote for the name of Brinn's new puppy! (on the right)

Robin I am so glad that you and your family get to move back to Kansas. And I am also glad that you are considering trying to get pregnant again. You and Shane truely deserve to be happy. I do not know how you have had the strenghth to get through this last year but you have always been such a positive person. Good luck with the move and everything else.
Awww, thanks Christine! It would be so easy to go down the wrong path but I just can't allow myself to do it, you know? Shortly after we lost the babies I saw a saying that said, "Be extra nice to each person you meet today.....everyone is going through something." That about sums it up, you know? We do have our pity parties, but we try to keep them at a minimum. :-)
Robin,
I came across your blog from a comment you left on another blog (Lauren Green-who recently lost her quads)whose story I came to know of through another blog I follow (Shewwww, that's confusing! :) but I felt compelled to write after reading your story. Your story had me in tears and your "angelversary" post had me pretty much hysterical at my desk. Although I don't know your exact pain, my sister and her husband lost their triplet boys in May 2008at a little over 23 weeks. The moments I spent with Anthony and Ian were priceless (Mateo was born sleeping). Anthony passed away while I was holding him, and Ian fought for a day in the NICU before going to be with his brothers. As an Aunt, I am so glad that I was able to have that precious time with my nephews. My sister and her husband are continuing to grieve, however they just found out they are pregnant again (a complete miracle as it is "natural", unlike the pregnancy with the boys which was in-vitro) I just wanted to say that my heart goes out to you, your husband and your daughter for your loss. A complete stranger is now praying for your continued comfort and healing! :)
Love and prayers,

Christina,
Thank you so much for your kind words! I am so happy to hear your sister and her husband have been blessed with another pregnancy. I am praying for their continued healing as well as a healthy and happy pregnancy!
My sister, too, was able to spend time with our children before they passed. She was such an incredible source of support for us. She cleaned them up, dressed them, made sure we had pictures, and cried with us. We held Andrew until we thought he had passed, then she took him to another room. He was lying on the scale as she was in the rocking chair and she saw him take another breath. She scooped him up and held him because she wanted to make sure he passed while being held by someone that loved him. Two of my other sisters were also able to make it to the hospital a little later in the day and hold them. So, if I dare to speak on your sister's behalf, you will never understand the awesome gift that you gave her by doing what you did. It is indescribable. You are such a beautiful person to have given yourself as you did when your sister, brother-in-law, and nephews needed you most.
I'll be looking for updates on your sister! :-)
Have a great day!
Robin
