Slowly going by

I have to say this whole process just seems slower and slower as we go. I am longing to be pregnant and have a sweet baby but just wondering when that day will be... I will deal with the sickness and being tired and whatever else... However, I know it is in God's timing and will happen and be one of the best moments in our lives!
On a better note my doctor did get our records and Ryan is going in on Monday. Our last fertility Dr. did not do a full exam on Ryan which we just found out about so the new Dr. is just to be on the safe side. No telling how much this is going to cost on us but it definitely will be worth it. Then, we will move on from there. The meds I am on are really messing with me sometimes. I have my good days and my bad days! The bad days are not so much fun! It is amazing what ONE pill can do to you! ha!
Well I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend and I am so ready for fall weather! I LOVE LOVE this time of year!
The picture today is of me and Ryan! I absolutely LOVE my husband to death and he has supported me so much through this! We have grown so much stronger through this process and I could never do it without him!

Busy Busy

Well it has been awhile since I wrote on here... I have been so busy with my Master classes and work.. I guess being busy is good because time flies by when you are busy. I just feel like my weekends are school and during the week is school and classes. Plus I started boot camp which I LOVE!!! It helps relieve soo much stress!
Well I finally started my first cycle but guess what.. My records still have not made it to my new doctor so I cannot begin anything this month because my new Dr. does not know what I have gone through or anything without my files. Honestly, I was so excited when I started and called them to see what was next. Well she told me they can't do anything because they do not have my files. Well I call my old office and they say they need a letter stating they can send Ryan's records over. Why in the world didn't they call and tell me that? CRAZINESS!!! But I guess that gives me another month to get use to the medicines and such. So now we are just playing the waiting game. I def have my moments of break downs esp last week. Well that would of been the week we would find out the sex of the baby and it was just so hard not to think about. It is always in my mind and I have my little moments and sometimes big moments. Oh yeh and to top things off we finally got my bill for my surgery this summer. Insurance did cover a lot of it but we still owe a good bit. I just really hope and pray we never have to go through that again.
Thank you again for all the prayers and such! I will try to write in here more often. Today's photo is of my sweet sweet puppy! I love her so much and we are so very lucky to have her in our life! She is almost 2 and she has helped me so much through this whole journey. When I was pregnant she use to sleep by my belly at night :)

Low Carb Diet

So after going to the doctor and finding out I have PCOS, I am starting a low carb diet. I am a pretty healthy eater and times but I def have my moments. I just LOVE food so much! I can do good throughout the day but nighttime I am HORRIBLE. But that is going to change! I want to have a baby and if this helps I will do whatever it takes. Plus it is good for me and my body! My husband and family will def help me with this! This will be a challenge but I know I can do it! It is kind of a relief knowing what I have now. I knew I had trouble ovulating but I had no clue that I had PCOS. My Dr. explained what it was to me and what I need to do. The medicine I am going to be on will make me nauseous and if I eat too many carbs I will get sick. So please pray for me during this time so I can get through this! Love you all!
Today's picture is of my in laws and brother in law, sister in law and niece. I love them very much and am so thankful to have them in my life!

Long weekend:)

Well we have school off Monday :) I just love long weekends. The only bad thing is that we do not have another break until Thanksgiving but I think the time will go fast.
Ryan came home yesterday and I explained everything about the Dr. We both are having our heads up about the situation and hoping it is a simple thing this time. We have to remember that God is in control of the situation and He is doing it for a reason! People always try to question why and yes it is hard, but we have to remember that as long as you trust in Him you will get through it! I haven't gotten my medicine yet. They said one of them will be in on Tuesday so I think I am going to wait until then to get both and start taking them. I just know what these medicines do to me but it will be so worth it in the end! :)
The picture today is of my really good friends :) They are always there for me and I love them soooo very much! We have the best time together and support each other through thick and thin! I love each and every single one of you! I couldn't find a picture of Ali and Joe but they know we love them!!! :)

Appointment

Today was my first appointment in Lexington, SC. It takes about an hour to get there and my mind was racing the whole time. I was wondering if I would like my doctor or what she was going to say. It has been hard going through what I have been through but I need to stay strong and positive. It went VERY well and I am very pleased with the doctor. First off we had a consultation with a nurse and a lot of questions. She was very nice. Then, I got to speak to my new fertility Dr. She explained to me that I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. It basically means that I do not ovulate and I need the help. Then she went on to explain that I might not need another IUI. She can't determine that for sure, but she is going to look at all of my records and such and see. I am being put on two medicines. One medicine I can't eat a lot of carbs with and she said it makes you feel nauseous and not hungry at times. The other one is to jump start my cycle since I am so irregular. Overall, I feel really good about this doctor and our next steps. It will be amazing if it just took some medicine and not what we already have been through! I will keep you updated on each visit. :)Thank you for all of the prayers and sweet sweet messages. God is in control of the situation and I am thankful for my amazing family and sweet friends.
Today is pictures of friends from my school I work at. I am so blessed beyond measure with the support and sweet prayers from them. I do not have pictures of all of them but here are some that I found.

This is the week...

I am very excited about this Friday. I am sure the week will go by slow but I really hope not.. I am always so busy during the week and I think that helps. I am really trying to lose some weight before our cruise in November. I am working out everyday and trying to watch what I eat. I am doing Bethany's Bootcamp in Sept-Nov :) I can't wait! I did a few years back and it was such a good workout and I love working out outside... She does a really good job motivating people so if you want a good workout you should try her! So doing that will definitely keep me busy and taking classes two nights a week and working full time :) My emotions have been kind of crazy lately.. Poor Ryan! I think things just catch up to me at times and I just melt or shut down. I am very very bad about shutting down during hard times. I don't like to talk about my problems because I don't want to be a burden on people and I want people to think I am fine! I am trying to work on that but it is VERY hard. Please just keep us in your prayers on Friday as we start another journey!
On a better note, I have so many things going on the next few months. My 10 year reunion is next month!!!! WOW I am going to be 30 next year! I just can't believe it has been ten years! I am excited to see some people and hang out with old friends! We are going to a football game and Jones Creek the next night! Plus I am going with a really good friend that I haven't hung out with in awhile! I am excited to get caught up with her :) Then, my friend Trish is getting married in October! We have bunches of showers and JASON ALDEAN to go too! It will def be fun! My friend Stevie and I have our birthdays in October! I just can't believe I will be 29! That just blows my mind! She is going to throw a huge Halloween party! After Halloween, my husband and I are going on a cruise with my mom and dad and his mom and dad!! We are both VERY excited about that!!!!! :) And to save the best for last... Christmas is right after :) I just love Christmas!! I love being around family and just seeing all the lights and decorating my house! Hopefully during these fun times we will find out we are pregnant! So I am pretty much booked until December which I love because it will make Christmas come faster!
The picture today is of my best friend Erin :) She has been there for me through thick and thin and we have so much fun together!!!! I truly am so thankful for our friendship and love her dearly!

Staying Busy and life

Today I came to the realization of how busy I really am. I work 40+ hours a week, go to school two nights a week, clean my house, homework, school work on top of the 40+ hours, tutor on Friday afternoon, and exercise daily. Like today I came home and made lunch for tomorrow, rain 4.5 miles(which felt wonderful), worked on part of an assignment, cleaned some around the house and not finally have some time to rest at 9pm. I actually like being busy though because I know in May I will be done with another year of school and have my Master's degree! :)
Well yesterday was my daddy's birthday! I have to say I am very blessed to have such an amazing mom and dad! They are both always here for me and stand by my side no matter what my decision is! I will always be a daddy's girl and I am so proud of it! If something is wrong and I can't get a hold of my hubby I call my dad. Now when I first got married that was a very hard thing to do! I always called my dad no matter what first or even my mom! But I call the hubs first now and then mom and dad :) I remember one time I was really stressed out and my parents were on a cruise and I called their answering machine and just cried! I know one day Ryan and I will be like that for our child.
My doctor's appt got changed. They called me today and said that they couldn't meet on Sept 3 which is a Saturday. Well the next Saturday wasn't open until October! I just can't wait that long so I am going by myself next Friday morning! Ryan can't miss work yet and they said it was okay to be alone! I am beyond excited about this appt and it can't get here fast enough! I want to take the next step and get things started! They were very sweet and nice on the phone which I need! I need that little comfort when I go in for each appt!
Tonight's picture is of Ryan and I :) We like to make funny faces in pictures! We actually haven't done one of these in awhile!
