It's hard living without a stove & oven, isn't it? We had a dead oven for about 3 months before we could afford to get a new one. Fixing was not an option, because it had been fixed about 3 times before (old stove).
Well, first I had to finish the cookies I started (and posted about) last week. I made TONS of dough because we needed some to send to Cait's brother and some for me to take to work and, well, some for US! But then there was the lack of oven so I baked the work ones and hung on to the batter, hoping we'd get the oven back before it went bad. And we did, barely.
But I did make corn chowder for dinner so we could revel in the having of the stove.
We have both known for as long as we can remember that we wanted to have kids. We decided to start down the road to parenthood about three years ago, beginning with research. In May of 2004 we began inseminating, and in July, we hit the jackpot. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a partial molar pregnancy, and we endured a miscarriage, followed by months of medical treatment, monitoring, and frustration. We began trying to conceive again in May 2005 (against our doctor's advice). We were lucky to get pregnant again in July. Despite our fears and worries, this pregnancy went smoothly and ended with a wonderful home birth and a beautiful baby girl. A new chapter begins....
