What's in a Name?

got a miracle? That's the name of my blog and a question I've been asking for a while now. I totally believe in miracles. I've seen them performed in my life and in the lives of so many of my family and friends.

My husband survived his Humvee being blown up by an IED in Iraq with a few scratches and a banged up knee when he was deployed in 2007. That was a miracle!
I joined a company, Thirty-One Gifts, hoping to just get some cute bags at a discount, and now it is my full time job and I make more with my home business than I did at my State job. That is a miracle!
Our 1-year-old goddaughter was supposed to have surgery for a problem with her eye they had been battling since she was born. Right when Emily (her mom and my best friend) was supposed to make the appointment, the eye fixed itself and she doesn't need surgery now. That was a miracle!

I am so fortunate to come from a Christian family and be married to a Christian man. We have faith in God that miracles do happen and that He is in control of everything! We feel like it will "take a miracle" for us to get pregnant and have a baby and we have faith that God will make that happen!

So when trying to come up with a name for my blog, I kept thinking about how it truly will be a miracle for us to become parents. And for my teacher friends--yes I know I didn't use proper capitalization! I chose not to do it the right way because in this struggle of trying to get pregnant, I've realized that there is no "right way" of making a baby. I always thought that 2 people fell in love, got married and then had sex and a baby was sure to follow! Well--HA HA HA!!! I've learned that you have to take pills, have shots, and (SHOCKER) not even necessary to have sex to have a baby! Everything we learned in school and were told to scare the crap out of us when we are young adults was about 1% of the truth! I remember being in the 5th grade in Mrs. Brown's class when they split the boys and girls up to have "the talk" with us and we were all convinced that once we were adults, if any of us girls even saw a penis, we would be knocked up at that second!  Again I say, HA HA HA!!!
