Trusting God

Dr's appt yesterday didn't go as smoothly as planned. Baby measured right on target but we couldn't hear the heartbeat and could just barely see it. Dr was concerned because it should be over 100bpm. So we are going back on friday for another sono. We know that God is in control and can do anything so we are trusting him that our baby is just fine. Of course many of our friends are praying for us and the baby and we are so thankful for all those prayers. And we know that God hears them and he knows the desire of our hearts. We have worked long and hard to get this baby and I feel in the deepest parts of my soul that he/she will be coming home with us in November. So continue praying and we will update as soon as we know anything.


May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, and may you overflow with hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Romans 15:13

300 lb cat!!

When Dougie was little he had a book called 3 pound cat but he always called it 300 pound cat. He is so cute,he is still my little brother even though he is almost 17.

So I thought I would post about my fat, no I mean BIG BONED cat. Her name is Tots, but we usually call her FAT TOTTIE. That is her mob name!!

Here she is trying to cram her fat self in a very small basket and then having a yawn.








Here she is lounging on the bed showing off her fatness.




Another fat picture of her







And lastly here she is on the scale. Can you read what it says????

It's always something...

So I read on another blog today that some Nalgene bottle may be bad for my health. I love mine, it is pink and so cute. But it is the kind that they say is bad and could cause birth defects, so I guess I will need to get a different one. Here is the article.

Very, very interesting!!!

Nap time and junk

I really really need a nap right now. I am not eating sugar or drinking sodas so in the afternoon my energy plummets. Only 2 hours and 18 minutes and I can go home and take a nap!!

In other GREAT news Megan had her little girl on Friday March 2nd. They named her Ella Marie, which I think is freaking adorable. She is so cute, here she is being sassy sticking her tongue out! And here she is with her very proud momma and daddy!! Congrats Megan and Ryan!!




So last week I went to the dr 5 out of 7 days. Anyone want to guess how many millions of dollars that cost me??? Anywho, I did officially ovulate. It was on cd 19 which is late for clomid. I asked the dr why I O'd so late and she didn't really have an answer but wasn't concerned. She told me that they are trying to make me normal which means, One egg, ovulating before day 20 and having less than a 34 day cycle. I officially fall into all of those cateragories. It kinda feels nice to be normal for once. She did say that next cycle we will most likely just move right into IUI. I think I am ok with doing that, although it will cost more money. So I am just praying really hard that I am pregnant now and I won't have to worry about that.

Hope is fading

I have been seeing an Reproductive Endocrinologist for my infertility. We are doing 100 mg of clomid this cycle. I have been having to go in and get lots of sonograms to look at stuff and see what is going on. I felt really good about this cycle because I had one very mature egg and it should pop any day now. But I went and had a test done today and they said something was abnormal(im not gonna go into details in case youth are reading, but if you want to know what is going on exactly just ask) and that this cycle might not work. They said I may need to do an IUI next cycle and that just gets me depressed. I have gotten pg twice without that much medical help and I just want it to happen again. Josh and I have talked and if this cycle doesn't work we are gonna have to wait a few months to do anything more. It is just way too expensive and we can't afford it every month. Neither of our insurances pay for it, so we have to pay everything out of pocket. So thus why I am losing hope. I really really want this cycle to work. I want to have good news to tell people, but I just don't know. I have to keep reminding myself that it only takes one little swimmer.

I'll keep you updated, I have to go tomorrow for another sono to see if I ovulated. Which I hope I do and then the waiting begins. Oh how I hate the waiting...
