Patience Rose

Many have asked how the heck I got the name for my blog . . . it is really a funny story actually!

Throughout my journey with trying to get pregnant, my miscarriage and all of the fertility treatments, I have heard all of the following:
"If it is meant to be, it will be"
"God has a plan for all of us"
"It will happen, just relax"
"It will happen when you least expect it"

And all of those sayings make me want to punch something :) Sorry people, but they aren't helpful, they aren't solution based, and basically tell me that I can't really do a darn thing about it, so quit trying.

So one day Bobby's aunt, Rose, made the mistake of telling me, through Facebook chat none the less, "Patience, my dear." I had really had enough and I snapped back, in my sternest Facebook chat voice, "If you tell me that one more time, I will get even with you by naming my damn kid Patience." And so, Patience Rose was born . . . pardon the pun.

So for those of you that have asked . . . no I am not really going to name any future children I may have Patience Rose . . . or will I? It kind of grows on ya don't you think. Until they are about 3 and you look like an idiot in the grocery store yelling "PATIENCE! You come here right now!" Hahahaha, wouldn't that be the best joke of all! Bobby would refuse to go anywhere with us :)

Let the countdown begin!
