Joy Will Come In The Morning: Being Real
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2013/06/being-real.html
Sunday, June 2, 2013. Remember that post I wrote last year called The Ugly Truth. The one where I shared how hard it is to be infertile year after year after year? This is a similarly truthful post - although hopefully not quite as ugly - about how hard it is to be "pregnant," but not really,. Month after month after month. The truth is this: I feel like a fraud. Let me be clear. Excited. but it is not overflowing. Filled with joy. but only because joy is a choice. Because surrogacy is HARD. To feel a ki...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: More About Me
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/p/more-about-me.html
My name is Esther, and I've lived in the Kansas City area most of my life. I met my husband, Scott, online in an AOL chat room - way. Before Internet dating was all the rage! Some thought we were a bit crazy, but I'm happy to report that this "match" worked out just great! We've been happily married since 2001, and recently relocated to Jacksonvile, Florida. We are both avid animal-lovers, so it's only natural for us to have 3 truly amazing dogs, and 3 crazy-insane cats. More about them here. 2 Girls and...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: All My Critters
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/p/all-my-critters.html
If you're not an animal lover, feel free to skip this page, because it's about nothing other than my pets. ♥ I will introduce them to you in the order they came into our lives. Despite all of this, we love Luna very much. She was the first pet we got as a married couple, and she will always have a special place in our hearts. Long story short, we got a dog, I fell in love with him, and Scott did, too. a year and half later. The main point is that now. And he's been a perfect fit! The only unfortunate thi...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: three {one}
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2013/04/three-one.html
Wednesday, April 24, 2013. Three is how many kids I wanted to have. Well, 2 at the very minimum, but preferably 3. You know, back when I thought infertility was something that happened to other people. It never crossed my mind that just having one. Child would be next to impossible. Oh to be that naive again. to live in blissful ignorance, dreaming of a picture-perfect future. to think that having 3 children by the time I turned 35 would be easily achieved. Still that doesn't change the fact that I dream...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: praise {whether I feel like it or not}
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2012/11/praise-whether-i-feel-like-it-or-not.html
Thursday, November 15, 2012. Praise {whether I feel like it or not}. Anyway. When I went away to college I was introduced to the new-to-me genre of Contemporary Christian Music and I was hooked. Dad can blame all my Bible college buddies for that addiction. ;) I still listened to a lot of country music over the course of the next several years, but my music "diet" was much more balanced and varied. A few years ago when our infertility struggle was at its worst (or so I thought! Sell A close family friend...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: Going Public {for real}
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2013/02/going-public-for-real.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. Going Public {for real}. After years of heartache and infertility, Scott and I are overjoyed to share that we are expecting a baby via surrogacy! It was never in *our* plan to take this route to parenthood, but there is no doubt that God has clearly guided us here, as we have seen His hand each step of the way. You can read our whole story by clicking through the "tabs" at the top of our surrogacy blog ( http:/ carriedblog .blogspot.com/. Friday, February 15, 2013. Dining by th...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: Steal My Show
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2013/03/steal-my-show.html
Saturday, March 9, 2013. For the past several weeks my radio stations have been playing a lot of the new Toby Mac song " Steal My Show. When they first started playing it I kinda dismissed it because the song is being sung from the artist's perspective, about how he wants God to take center stage and be the Star of his concerts. Doesn't relate to someone who isn't a performer, right? Earlier this week I was reading in The One Year Book of Hope. And this part really struck me:. It's what we want and yet t...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: Time flies... sometimes
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2013/05/time-flies-sometimes.html
Thursday, May 9, 2013. Time flies. sometimes. A year ago today I started my current job. Which I love. I actually feel like I've been there forever, but that doesn't have anything to do with the job itself. Being in an almost constant state of waiting makes time seem to go slowly. This last year has felt like the longest year of my life. Truthfully, the last 3 years have seemed to take forever, but especially this most recent one. Often it has felt like time has been at a complete standstill. I hate to s...

Joy Will Come In The Morning: First {Mother's Day}
http://disestherzone.blogspot.com/2014/05/first-mothers-day.html
Saturday, May 10, 2014. Tomorrow will be my very first Mother's Day with a living, breathing child. Well, last year she was living, just not breathing air. ;) I haven't written about our little girl yet on this blog, but she made her entrance into this world on Friday, August 23, at 4:44 pm. You can read my account of her birth story on our surrogacy blog. If you haven't already. I am immeasurably grateful to have the privilege of being AJ's mom. Every day she makes me smile. She is my dream come true.
