Delaying Pregnancy Announcements

July 23, 2020 / matushkaanna / Leave a comment

[cross-post from Lost Innocents] It’s standard practice in the United States (I can’t speak for other countries, but I assume most of the West is similar) to wait to announce a pregnancy until you have reached 12-13 weeks, i.e. the end of the first trimester. This is so ubiquitous that it’s rarely questioned. Since a … Continue reading Delaying Pregnancy Announcements

Six years ago

December 12, 2017 / matushkaanna / 4 Comments

Six years ago I was in labor with our baby Andrew. He had died 12 days before and we induced labor in the hospital so I wouldn't risk miscarrying on Christmas Eve or something. It was our second miscarriage in 8 months. I was losing hope that Pickles would have a baby brother or sister. … Continue reading Six years ago

I am really enjoying these roses! Perhaps by next year I can grow some of my own. The little ones are sick so much of my time has been consumed with holding and comforting. I keep thinking of all of the things on my huge to-do list (the long range one, not the one that … Continue reading Tuesday 

God’s Providence 

August 15, 2017August 15, 2017 / matushkaanna / 3 Comments

Everyone knows the story of the Apostle Thomas being late to the resurrection, so to speak. I always felt embarrassed on his behalf and rather sorry for him. I mean, bless his heart. Poor Thomas carried on with the tradition by being late for the Dormition and burial of Mary, the Theotokos. Every other apostle … Continue reading God’s Providence 

Five Years

also published on Lost Innocents Five years ago today I sat in the cold, scuffed exam room with my purse clutched in front of me and heard the words, "I'm sorry, there was no movement [on the ultrasound]."

Counting down…

January 17, 2016October 12, 2016 / matushkaanna / 7 Comments

We're less than a week from birth now. I'm scheduled to have a c-section next Friday, the 22nd, at noon. I can't wait to finally "meet" this baby girl! We'll send out an announcement (with name!) when she is born. I wanted to make a nice layette for her coming-home. The blanket is a white-on-white … Continue reading Counting down…

This past week has been mostly about finishing up projects and orders and trying to sneak in a few other things I needed wanted to do. Last week I got an order from St. Tikhon's Monastery/Seminary Bookstore for some toy censers! I mailed them five on Monday: 1 with bells on the outside, 1 with … Continue reading Recent goings on
