Day 9 - A photo I took

This was taken when hubby came back from his 15 month deployment. We took a wonderful 3 week trip to Europe and saw many amazing places but Paris was my favorite of them all. This picture brings back great memories.

Day 8 - A photo that makes me sad

This photo makes me sad because this baby is no longer with us. It's hard to believe that I should have been 8 months pregnant at this point in time. I'm praying to see another of these soon though...

Day 4 - Your Favorite Book

Again it's so hard to pick a favorite book so I'm going to cheat a little..

Favorite adult author : Jen Lancaster

If you haven't read any of her memoirs, you need to check them out. She is hilarious, sarcastic, and snarky. Love her books!

Favorite book series: Harry Potter

Yep I'm a big kid :)

Day 3 - Your Favorite Television Program

I have have 2 favorite shows and can't choose between the 2...

Favorite show that is only shown in reruns: Gilmore Girls

Favorite show that still has new episodes: The Office

Day 2 - Your Favorite Movie

Favorite adult movie = The Departed


Favorite kids movie = Tie between Up and Beauty and the Beast

To tell you the truth, I think I like kids movies more than I like adult movies :)

Day 1 - Your Favorite Song

This is going to be a hard decision because I love music and think so many songs are great. I guess I'll pick my current favorite song though since it's hard to narrow it down to one all time favorite song.

"Haven't Met You Yet" ~ Michael Buble

Some of the lyrics in this song kind of parallel our infertility journey and mean a lot to me.


I might have to wait
I'll never give up
I guess it's half timing
And the other half's luck
Wherever you are
Whenever it's right
You'll come out of nowhere and into my life

And I know that we can be so amazing
And baby your love is gonna change me
And now I can see every possibility

Finally a new post

It's been awhile again. For some reason I just can't get into daily (or weekly) blogging. Work has been going well but I only have 8 more days to go since the packers and movers will be coming on September 1 and 2 to pack the house up for yet another move across the country. I'll really miss my kids even though they do drive me crazy sometimes but overall it's been a great experience. I applied to work at the child development center on post at Bragg until I start back with school in January. Hoping to hear back from them soon so I can start working ASAP.

Big news - we finally bought a house! We flew out to NC a few weekends ago and found 2 houses that we loved. After some list making and plenty of discussion, we finally settled on one. The house is 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and has a huge bonus room that we'll be using as our new family room. I love the updated kitchen, screened in porch, and fireplace in the living room. I'm looking forward to moving in, setting everything up, decorating, and finally settling down somewhere for about 3 years. I'm definitely over all of this moving. Here are some pictures of the new place.








On the infertility front - still no signs of a cycle starting. I got in touch with the doctor and he finally agreed to give me P.rovera to hopefully start something. I started taking it this past Tuesday and should be done this Thursday which is the day of my next RE appointment. If I haven't started a cycle a few days before heading out on our cross-country drive, I'm going to ask for a shot of progesterone. Hopefully, the doctor and I can work out a treatment plan so I can take it to my next doctor in NC. I'm hoping this will help avoid starting all over again with someone new. I'm tired of getting so much blood drawn. Also cannot stand the waiting. It's been almost 5 months since our loss and I feel like we've just been wasting time waiting around for a cycle. I must not let myself get frustrated and stressed out. Just need to keep telling myself that.

Wordless Wednesday

We're homeowners!
