Sick Daze

Wow, sometimes we have these little curve balls thrown at us... I had one recently. I have been seeing a fertility doctor as my husband and I try to start our own little family. It has been quite the journey. Last month the doctors found a cyst, but it was small enough to continue with the treatment, with the hope that it would go away on it's own. This month I went back to the doctor after being nauseous and hurting (think really bad cramps). So, the doctor did some more tests- there are tons of tests when you're trying to manipulate your body to do something it doesn't want to do.

The cyst had tripled in size and that was what was causing the pain and sickness. He put me on... birth control pills- awwww the angst as we decided to go with the doctor (who knows what he's doing...).

So, my thoughts have been on my little dilemma for the last few weeks. I'm not so much worried about getting pregnant... I KNOW that I will. My question is always when and how much more pain? So, I thought it would help to talk about this, write it all down and move forward as soon as I push that little "send" button.

I have been so blessed in my life that I can't complain and I know I will be pregnant sooner than later... I guess I just thought it would be a little easier than all this. Haha- life is never what you think it should be. The struggle to the top of the mountain will make me appreciate the view that much more once I get there...

Oh Happy Day

What an amazing day. I worked and then came home to get ready for our family home evening group- a wonderful full house after the quiet of Christmas! We are feeling so blessed. This will be a wonderful year! We expect great things to happen.

Our lesson tonight was on Joseph Smith and the spirit was sooooo strong in our little house. We have about 20 people tonight. They are all playing pit~ a rather loud and obnoxious game, but truly fun. They are on their 3rd bowl of popcorn and all the oranges are gone... Hey, life is good, what can I say?

Jess has decided to move back into the dorms. We are sad to see her go but it will be good for her to move on. She has promised to stay close and come over frequently. Dan is living with us, so he will take the bedroom and it won't be so crowded, but we will miss our sweet Jess.

We started reading scriptures as a "family". Our little family of four... It has added to the spirit of our lovely home.

What can I say? It's been a great day!!
