Anxious

Well, tomorrow is the "big day" for Jeff & me. We get to see the RE! Never in a million years would I have thought that we would be visiting a fertility clinic in order to try and maintain a healthy pregnancy. I've finally started to come to terms with this hand we have been dealt...there is nothing I can do about it except go forward and leave my trust in God! Whining and complaining isn't going to help anyone, so on to the fertility clinic we go! Well, hopefully....Aunt Flo is wanting to make her appearance 5 days late! (Not preggo, I tested.) If she decides to come before 11:00 p.m. tomorrow, then I will have to reschedule this appointment. Blah! What a mess that would be! Jeff & I both already have the day off & it would be a wasted day. Dear God, PLEASE keep AF away until tomorrow afternoon!! I have so many people thinking and praying for me, it's unreal. I have the best family and friends there are!!

A Way to Remember

Well, I have finally decided to give this blogging thing a try! I have decided that this would be a convenient way to document the journey that Jeff and I have embarked on. This may prove to be the world's most boring blog, but that doesn't matter to me. My goal is to have a place where I can document all the things I don't want to forget.

To begin, this blog will mostly be about our journey to have a child. Jeff and I both have a strong desire to be parents. We would love nothing more than to have our own child to love. The journey we have been on has been full of ups and downs. We just recently celebrated our 4th wedding anniversary and 9 total years of being together. We think it is high time to have our own kiddo! We have suffered 4 miscarriages in a little over 2 years of actively TTC. These have all taken a blow to our spirits but it has brought us together in ways I never thought possible. Some people say that having children can tear a marriage apart and that grief can do the same. We are NOT part of that statistic...through the trying and the grief, our relationship has only grown stronger. I love my husband with all my heart! We have our first appointment with a Reproductive Endocronologist on the 16th. We are praying for some answers and perhaps even a "game plan" to get this show on the road!

I will try to keep this blog from being too "Debbie Downer" and boring (even though I'm probably the only one who will be reading it!) so I'll add in some fun and crazy things that go on in my life. I am also a 3rd grade teacher and I. love. my. job! Things never get boring and each day brings something new! I have 6 awesome pets and a wonderful family. My nieces are the coolest kids around and they totally have my <3 !
