Good morning everyone!

Well, we are back from a fantastic trip. The weather was hot - it was fantastic! I normally don't like it that hot, but it was so nice to be hot - now we are back and it was COLD this morning.

I am finishing my 2WW. I will keep everyone posted when I know anything!

glad you had a good trip!! It was pretty hot this past week but we had a cool front over the weekend....I'd imagine now Florida is feeling it too!

Hope Disney gave you a lil magic

Shoot. . . I can't believe that there was frost on the windows this am. That can only mean that I have to make sure i start the car earlier in the am to get the frost off the windows. . . the cold has arrived

Had a great weekend for Meg's Halloween Movie Marathon/ Slumber party! It was great! 10 13 year olds hyped up on sugar, pizza and old fashioned terror! They watch Amityville Horror and then Mike spooked them a bit as well. PERFECT!

I'm happy it's time to take down the Halloween stuff and get ready for our Thanksgiving / Christmas Holiday time. I'm looking foward to dressing up the house and having it warm and cozy for the holidays. I had a "moment of hope" this weekend when I was talking to Mike and told him that "when" not "if" we make up a nursery I would like it to be Peter Pan themed. I told him I knew I was jinxing it but he said, "No your thinking positively and that is good!" From his mouth to God's ears ya know?

OK back to work ladies! Hope ya'll are well!

Haha! It was alot of fun I'm thinking bout doing something over Christmas so hoping that the success of this one will bring everyone back again

He is very supportive and I'm lucky there. I have my down days and days where I'm still "***" but the more positive I can keep the better for our lives. The fat lady hasn't sung her last song yet so I'm gonna "try" to keep it positive for as long as I can.

I think I know what the stars were...does it start with W and end with F? I tried that the other day, they apparently bleep out acronyms too. It's not like kids would know what the heck it is, but I guess I understand

Well, keepin' it positive is the only thing you CAN do.

It'll be hard b/c every single holiday has its reminders....BUT we can do it

 

[esbrick]

I guess I look at holidays two ways. . . I can look at it as another year of my "imaginary" nursery still being "imaginary". That is way overwhelming though and not good for the head. I try and keep those thoughts at bay. We are working on changing imaginary to reality so need to keep positive that at some point "somethings" gonna happen. . .

There are MANY frustrations in our lives! Many! And believe it or not you can't compare what we are going through with what other people are going through or make it any less important. Yes, there are people who are dealing with deadly diseases, unemployment, depression and terrible heartache. Those are awful things. I do what I can and I pray for them every day. Selfishly though, the most important problems are our own. I'm not going to list them cause we all know them as we all share them Because of that I look at the "Christmas Season" as a time to be thankful for the blessings I do have, MOST of ALL that I haven't gone off the deep end yet! I'm also hopeful for the new year and that "God's Plan" will be revealed and that I will be able to accept the outcome no matter what. Sometimes the unexpected is a heck of alot better then what we thought should be expected.

So now as I climb off my soap box I want to let you all know that I count all of you as blessings to my life and I am so thankful for you!

Anyone have any updates?

Eilis I learned to look at life that way many yrs ago. I still don't understand what gods plan is and how long it will take. I do know once I put my Christian in gods hands I am not as stressed out about "When" his adoption will go through, I have just let it go and know it "Will" happen one day.
Okay I am a little ticked because he is 9 tomorrow and he is still sitting in foster care but I know he is not going anywhere.

nothing new here except waiting to find out if Avy will get her make a wish trip to

This Christmas season I want to try to enjoy quality time with DH, because (at least I keep telling myself this, and I said it last year but still) this will be our last Christmas just the two of us. Once we do have our baby it will surely all be about him/her, so I want to be able to spoil each other and spend that time together. At least that's my Christmas wish, hopefully it'll come true for us all this year!

No other updates on me. Not sure if I ever posted or not, but all my results and all DH's results came back normal. It's nice that everything is normal, don't get me wrong, but still frustrating because I really wanted answers. Right now I'm just waiting till CD1 (hopefully sometime next week) and then we will start our first Clomid cycle.

 

[MommaSnowwhite]

Joanne good luck with clomid!


Well, it's official BFN this morning. The IUI didn't work. I really don't think I can do this any more. I think the emotional toll is heavier than the financial one right now.

I know exactly how you feel about the results being normal. When my cycles were so jacked up and I was (and still am) cold all the time, always fatigued, I surely thought it was my thyroid. I didn't get the assumption out of nowhere....my mom is hypothyroid, and I've had tests where I was "borderline" in the past.
Well when the results were normal I was actually mad because I wanted something to explain it all!

Sometimes having "normal" results is worse than finding something. Good luck with the Clomid cycle.

So sorry. Just don't give up. We went through 2 separate rounds of Clomid/IUI and had an adoption in between but finally got a positive on the 4th attempt.
We will always be here to help you through the emotional part.
