Were turning over a new leaf on New Years....

It is about time I start to actually do something about my PCOS.  No, I don't think I can EVER get rid of it but I know of a few ways to help control it.  Weightloss.  I know it's not gonna be easy but I also know I can do it.After the worrying and struggling to make the right decision weather to adopt or not, I have come to the conclusion to try to get back on track of trying to concieve our OWN baby.  :0)  With that being said, Joseph and I are going to start a diet 01/01/2011.  To keep us on track, we are gonna keep looking up and reading about PCOS and how weightloss is the #1 thing to do to be able to concieve with this desiese.  Joseph and I have talked and confided in eachother and have deceded this is the best decision we could EVER make as a family.  We want a baby of our own.  One that we have made together.  That has our blood flowing through.  The only way to be able to fullfill our dreams of parenthood is to start with losing weight.  Sooo if yo have any words of encourragement, PLEASE feel free to let them flow.  Thanks soo much. 

We plan to try our best to be pregnant by this time next year so PLEASE keep us in your prayers.  :)  If you have EVER struggled with pregnancy you will understand how important this next year is gonna be for us.   This is something we have waited our WHOLE life on.

Maggie Mae Tanner's 1st CHRISTmas.... :)

My precious baby girl had her very 1st Christmas this year. It's bitter sweet. :( When we woke up on Christmas morning, we were sooo suprised to know it was SNOWING!!! With that being said, we hurried up and got ready and went outside to take a pics. I know technally Maggie is a "dog" but Joseph and I sure don't treat her like it. We took some AWSOME pics of us with our daughter.

I have always wanted to do this pose with my own baby.  Unfortunately I don't have a child so I chose to do it with my "fur child"!  Mommy's loves u sooo much Maggie Mae.

Life changing decisions....

It has been a little over a week now since we have recieved our life changing news.  We may have a chance to adopt a baby..  :)  Here goes.
        Last Tuesday, December 21, 2010, about 9p.m., I recieved a phone call from my cousin.  She informed me she had just left Tuscaloosa DCH with our cousins baby.  She had gotten the phone call from DHR about Fostering baby Caleb.  When he was born just 4 days earlier, he had several different drugs in his system.  When it had came time for the parents to take him home from the hospital, they were drug tested and of cource they failed it.  :(   Therefore DHR was called.  Needless to say, Victoria took him so he didn't have to go into a strangers home because he was our family.
        Other than Caleb being a drug baby, he is also a dwarf.  Because of his mothers choice of drugs he will have this life long problem.  Caleb is still having withdrawals from the drugs his "birth  mother" pumped into his system, which is sooo sad.  :(  I just don't understand how a mother can do that to their baby..  :( 
        So now Joseph and I are in a horrible place for decisions.  We have been being told how they are wanting us to adopt this baby and how they know how God has put Caleb on Earth for us.  Now, they are changing their minds.  We are soo upset.  I have decided on other plans.  :(  Oh well.
