Okay, Little Change

Well, that last post that was about doing IVF in April is not exactly correct. We will be doing it starting at the end of April and into the first couple of weeks in May. When I went to pick up the calendar and birth control pills, it turned out I was supposed to start my injections on the day we were leaving to go out of town to Denver. Sooooo, because it was just gonna be too tight to make it work, we pushed till May.

We're actually kinda glad. We don't want to just "make it work". This is a big investment and the life of our little one on the line. We want to get it right! We would have hated to go through the cycle, at the end not be pregnant, and then ask ourselves if it was because we "just made it work" and rushed to get all the steps done. We're much more at peace with May. Also it allows us to prepare and pray more! So here's looking forward to May!

Back in the Saddle Again

Hello there everyone! Well, I have just been the slacker for not posting. Sorry. I really have trouble writing about the mundane things of daily routine. Anyway, I wanted to post and let everyone know that we are alive and well here in Columbia, MO.

It's official, we have finally made a decision about next steps in our journey to having a child. Chris and I discussed where we were and what our leanings were yesterday over lunch after church. We also talked about whether or not we were actually ready for the next step. Our decision after prayer and patience, both of us independently of the other, was to do IVF again. So I called Marney at Dr.Wilshire's office this morning. It looks like we will probably start that process here in a couple of weeks (all of the prep meds, etc). The actually IVF cycle will be in April. I was quite shocked as I was expecting May because of where I am in my cycle. But she says I'm right on the edge of when we could do it for April. So a little sooner, but hey, I'm okay with that! I will do my best to continue to update everyone here on the blog!

Blessings,
Amy
