And Just Like That We're Parents!

We got the call today.
The crib is no longer empty.

There is a sweet baby sleeping in the next room.

A precious baby who has been entrusted to our care.
We don't know how long we will have her, but we will love her while we do!

Jack was incredibly excited when she arrived. Wonder when he'll realize that she's staying for a while. Thankfully, she didn't mind all his licking, in fact after just over an hour she started reaching for him! So adorable.

As you may know I will not be able to post any pictures or details of her or her case here, so please don't ask. I will be posting our adventures in parenting this sweet baby, though! And of course I'll continue to post about our fertility journey.

Pray for us as we love this little one.
Pray for this little one as she learns who we are.
Pray for her family and the issues that removed her from their care.
Pray for all the foster families who are loving all these children.
Continue to pray for our fertility journey and desire to have our own children.

The Next Step: IUI

We've reached the point of taking yet another "next step" in our infertility journey. Today is day 3 of cycle 14 in month 16. Sixteen. Sixteen months. We have been trying, clearly unsuccessfully, for almost a year and a half. It has been an incredibly emotional 16 months. So many things have happened in the time that this one thing is not. My grandmother died almost 10 months ago. My mother shattered her shoulder and had surgery for replacement. My husband had an emergency appendectomy. Work reduced my hours and pushed me to part time. We got the most adorable puppy in November. We celebrated our 2nd and 3rd wedding anniversaries. We've celebrated with many friends as they got engaged and married. We have countless friends who have gotten pregnant and had their babies. Most importantly we've grown closer to each other as husband and wife & have learned better ways to communicate. We've also learned many things that are not effective when it comes t...

Negative: Another Disappointing Cycle End

Cycle 12 Month 15 Cycle Day I don't care anymore Days Past Ovulation 14 Clomid cycle 4 The test was once again negative. Now to stop the Progesterone supplement and wait for cycle 13 to start. Today is the start of a new month of trying. Month 15. Fifteen. Have mercy. Sometimes this is just too hard. I knew this would be the outcome this cycle, though. The Clomid-fueled PMS emotional rage that occurred about a week ago signaled that this, once again, would not be our conception cycle. Happy Birthday to me, right? After this 4th month on Clomid we have decided to talk to the RE about new medications. We finally decided to do our own research on Clomid and we are not at all impressed with its success rate for my specific issues. It also makes me feel and act like a crazy person. A totally crazy person. I get angry for no reason. I want to cry pretty much all the time. The emotional swings are worse than anything I've ever felt before. I'm done with it. Now to go ...

In Faith: Keeping the Empty Crib

Cycle 13 Month 15 Cycle day who cares Still waiting to ovulate 1st cycle on new medication For my birthday this year I got to go to the REs office and have yet another ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries. Yep, once again I had an ultrasound and didn't leave with pictures of a tiny growing baby. And it was on my 28th birthday. Happy Birthday to me! We came up with a new plan at the office this time. Clomid was making me feel like a crazy person--like emotional, off my rocker, wanting to strangle people crazy--so he started me on a new medication. This time we are going with a fairly new drug. Well, it's not a new drug per-se, but its off-label usage for fertility is fairly new. This medication is made to help treat breast cancer in patients with tumors that respond to estrogen therapy, and oddly enough they found that it causes a strong ovulatory response, so they started using it in women like me with ovulation issues. This drug is called Femara/Letrozole. I took 5mg for ...
