Welcome to our Story...

Over the past several years we have been on our journey to find the missing piece in our lives. My husband and I were high school sweethearts and were married in 2007. Paul has started his career while I opened a salon in 2006. We own a wonderful home and have an amazing set of family and friends. We have both always desired to have children and have talked about "our family" since we started dating. We have been through the ups and downs of IF and the foster care system. Nonetheless, this is Our Path to Parenthood...

Black Eyed Peas and Stewed Tomatoes...

Out with the old and in with the new! Insert obligatory new years post here (as well as a new years resolution).  I think it goes with out saying what we want to have happen in 2011 so no need to expand upon it. 

Reflecting back upon 2010, I can say that I am more than ready for 2011 to start.  But remembering everything, I would never replace the time we had with our foster children.  And then at the end of 2010 we hopped back on the wagon of fertility treatments.  What makes this experience different in the coming year?  We "came out of the closet" so to speak.  We have pretty much told the world our story, so we have a ton of support and prayer this time around.  So, will 2011 be our year?  Who knows??? But we sure as hell are trying to make it that way.  If for some reason things do not turn out the way we have planned then we know we can make it through anything, we learned that from good ol' 2010.

On a side note:  I am glad that December 31st is over before I killed someone at Aetna!  They did not ship me the two biggest medications.  I was supposed to start shots of Follistim and Menopur Saturday night but it is kind of hard to do if they never gave it to me.  With it being a holiday weekend I could not get in touch with anyone competent enough to get it to me.  Luckily, my doctor was in the office for another patient so they gave me samples of Follistim to get me through the weekend.  Since they did not have the Menopur I doubled my dosage of the Follistim and am praying that everything still goes as planned.  Hopefully I can talk to someone tomorrow to get the meds shipped to me asap.  I will go to the doctor on Wednesday for an ultrasound to see if I have any follicles produced yet.
