We are happy!

I am posting to just say we are happy! Shelby's stuff has not gotten us down at all! There is nothing to be "down" about. This is who she is, what she was born with. It does not hinder her in any way shape or form which is AWESOME. I tell people about it because it is a part of her, apart of us now. She is in no pain and we have time to figure this all out! We have a beautiful daughter who, at only 7 months, is teaching us a lot. How to be patient, how to "roll with the punches", how to laugh, how to love more, how to learn...for we are learning a lot! We want all the prayers and love we can get!

So if you do pray, pray for more love for us, more learning, more knowledge, and more healing, and blessed doctors and for strength. We will accept that, but not for one second or one bagillionth of a second my friends, feel no pity for us. Absolutely none! No, "Oh man, that stinks...or...poor Bergmans..." Only good vibes sent our way...like..."Yeah, they are blessed with so much love and joy...that lucky little Shelby, she's in good hands!!"

P.S. No one has done that yet (bad pity vibes), and we are so happy that everyone cares so much about us! What a blessing to have all these wonderful, supportive, smart, caring people to have grown up with, just met, and strangers that care! Praise God that Shelby is great!

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my coffee

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a

Still here...Day Two.

Well, I still miss my kids horribly. Especially this morning when I heard that Shelby was up alot during the night. She has not been up in the middle of the night in 3 weeks, and it made me feel guilty for leaving her. I felt and feel, like I should be home with them. I know the woman who is watching them, that if she hears even the slightest little peep out of the kids would go rushing in to their room. I really don't want Shelby to get used to someone picking her up in the middle of the night for little rustles and sighs. But maybe I am just anxious, and maybe it is not really that big of a deal. Maybe I should just enjoy my time with my thoughts, my books and my husband. But honestly, I am anxious because I feel like the can't live with out me (don't laugh, besides I know it's over dramatic:)), I haven't even attempted to pick up one of my books, and my husband is driving me nuts because it does not bother him one bit that we are 3 hours away from our little bund
