GREAT NEWS!

Taliah Hope arrived today, July 19.....(her due date).....at 2:24 p.m. She weighed 7 lbs 3 oz and is 50 cm long (I do not know, off hand, the conversion for 50 cm - I don't think in cm and meters. )

It is now 12:30 am - Monday, July 20 - and I have been up since 2 a.m. on Sunday. I am not going to write a long post.....I just wanted to let y'all know the good news!

Kathryn did terrific! A much easier time than last......with several answers to prayer. I was there for the entire time - a privilege and an honor.

But these things are going to have to wait for another post - maybe. I have big brother Seth overnight and will be taking him back to town tomorrow so I do not know when I'll have time for a good post.

Until then, here are a few photos of our little sweetheart......

For more photos, go to this link for my first facebook album of Taliah Hope.

I'm going to bed a happy, relieved, blessed woman.

Introducing Me

I am a 53 year old wife/mother/grandmother. I am 5'3" tall. On December 12, 2007 I hit bottom. In spite of my "efforts", I had gained 5 pounds in the previous month, bringing me up to my all time high of 253.0 lbs. I felt so hopeless.....and desperate. I had spent most of my life hating my body and trying almost every diet out there, only to gain back whatever I lost - and then some. I realized, at this low point, that I deserved a better life than the one I'd been giving myself. I made a decision....to begin the journey that would eventually take me to a place where I was happy with my body and where I did not feel like a failure in that respect. This blog is at least a part of my story....as I go along. I hope others will join me, will become my companions on this road to success. UPDATE.....As of April/11 I have gained back most of what I lost during the journey described above. So, I am beginning again. This is why my blog is entitled "A Failure's Jouney to Success".......I've started and 'failed' so many times and have often felt like a total failure because of it. BUT I have hope, still.....in spite of all the 'failures' that I WILL get to that elusive place where I can say I have 'succeeded'. In fact, I've proven to myself that I don't have to get to the goal to feel like a success - I only have to be taking consistent steps in that direction and pass a few milestones along the way.
