Well, Hi again everyone (or anyone thats here).

I've been a no show around here for a while. I've been enjoying the garden and sorting a few things out in my life. I'll save you from the saga version of things but here is the reader's digest version:

As some of you may know, my husband and I lost our daughter last september. It was really really difficult and took a lot of time to even start really accepting it. I wanted to have another baby asap and my husband needed to wait. We waited and when we were ready, we started trying in earnest. I was charting, taking my temperature, checking everything that could be checked. Months and months went by and still no results. I finally went to a doctor and several things popped up. Apparently, my thyroid is a piece of crap and thats probably the reason I can't get pregnant. It might also be the reason I lost my daughter Gwen--but I'll never really know.

So anyway, all that really took a toll on my sanity there for a while. I wasn't sleeping or really taking care of myself. I felt like I was in this perpetual state of waiting--waiting to ovulate, waiting to test, waiting for my period to be over with, waiting to ovulate, etc... Things are better now. I'm still not pregnant by my thyroid problems is being treated and hopefully, I'll return to the land of the fertile soon. Until then though, I've been unable to do a lot of the things I've loved to do--especially knitting. Its weird--I feel like knitting really kept me calm during the aftermath of losing a baby but now, I just can't seem to get into it. Its getting better--I'm almost done with the clapper and even picked up a few new magazines the other day. I think my drive to knit will return with time and the change of the seasons.

I'm sorry I've been away--I actually really have missed seeing whats going on with everyone through their blogs. I've popped in a couple of times and read what people are doing but I think I'm really back for good now. this blog will probably contain a lot more gardening and plants from now on but there will also be lots of knitting as well...

I'm glad to be back...
