God is speaking....let's make sure we are listening!

Sometimes God’s plans for us might include a delay. As we wait, may we learn from this story to not give up, to not accept grief as our lot in life and to expect God to turn our mourning into joy. Remember, He’s coming right on time.

From God

God sent me this in my daily devotional today. How true it is!

Persistence is often necessary in obtaining a blessing.

Holla!

Is orange a happy color? I think so! Ask my brother...he is all about some orange! :-)
Okay, so I have come to the conclusion that all doctors are retarded except for Dr. Dunn because she is the bombdiggity! Bottom line...Dr. Dunn says do not do the genetics testing because it will be at least 3K for us to have that done and insurance won't cover it. She also says that the fibroids and cyst are nothing to worry about. As for the "unknown" bit on my uterus she says it was probably a blood pocket because my hCG levels have FINALLY gone back to normal! She said that we will stay with our original plan of action of taking progesterone after conceiving and go from there. She apologized about our visit to the high-risk doctor's office. That is why I love my doctor! I called her on her cell to talk with her about all of this because she told me to even though she is on vacation this week. She is the GREATEST!
It is all in God's hands now. All we can do is our part of being healthy, being faithful, and praying A LOT! Thanks for all of your love support and prayers! Thanks to all who voted in the President's Day Poll. It looks like we will try one more time!

Be blessed!

To Risk or Not to Risk

Purple is a nice spring color, isn't it? Well, we went to the high-risk OB yesterday. I kinda feel like we didn't hear anything we didn't already know. He said that we could try the progesterone after we conceive, that we could run a bunch of tests that we have already had run (and they all came back fine by the way, but he didn't know that because he couldn't find my file), AND that we could have some genetics testing run that our insurance won't cover and could cost thousands of dollars. They did an ultrasound and said that I have two fibroids in my uterus, a cyst on my left ovary, and what looked like it could be a gestational sac which I told her that could not be possible. She said that it could be something left over from my last D&C, but she wasn't sure what it was. Then a nurse lady came in trying to arrange a time for blood work for me and by surprise for Aaron as well. So, that's what we know...nothing major. As for me, I am tired and am holding on by a thread. If you have any advice that could boost our spirits we are all ears.

Believing God will lead us down the right path,

Will they ever go back to normal?????

Well, I was hoping that I would be finished getting my blood drawn. BOO I'm not. I went back on 2-25 and my hCG levels were still 57. Went back on 3-7 and still had hCG levels of 21. Hopefully when I go back again in two weeks they will be back at 0 and my body will be back to normal. I am tired of getting poked!

Anyhow, if you have not yet voted on the President's Day poll you have a few days left to do so. If you are wondering who the no vote was it would be my husband. He said that he didn't feel it was an "authentic" vote if it was 100% yes. He is so funny!

Much Love!
