well..it's about time I posted again! Life has been a bit crazy over the past few weeks. I started back to school.. ugh.. one more elective and then my Capstone and I will finally be finished with my MBA! Whoo Hoo! There will be a huge celebration to follow that accomplishment.
After Tatelyn's party.. it seems like the weeks have flown by. Chris was out of town this week.. he went to Ft. Worth to put in a conveyor for MHT.. the company that has been chomping at the bit to get him to come work for them..
I am starting to think that I want to embark on starting an etsy site or some sort of online store. I made Tatelyn's wreath for her hospital door when she was born.. I loved it.. so I decided to make some of the decorations for her 1st party too. I received a sweet compliment from my Father-in-Love, Chuck and it sparked my interest. I have a some friends, The Akins, whose family is expanding as they add a third edition to the klan in October. It was only fitting that I offer to make Jennifer a wreath for Josie's hospital room. I love how this one has turned out.. I think I may be on to something here! I haven't made a boy one yet but I have the cutest idea for one! We'll see where this goes.. pics to follow!
I have really enjoyed this blogging thing so far. I have not been great at it but it is much easier for me than writing in a journal. This week blogging was most important to me. I have a friend who was given some not so great news.. she used their blog as a way to express her anger and frustration with the news.. it is a great outlet! Love you LY!! I have found on this infertility journal that you make different types of friendships.. bonding over infertility is different than meeting at a party and having a few things in common and developing a friendship. Bonding over infertility means that there is a level of understanding between you that "normal" friends will never understand. My heart was broken the day my friend found our their procedure didn't work. I could literally feel her heart break. I liken the relationship to that of twins. I can feel their pain, I can somehow find the right things to say to comfort her.. she always has the right things to say to comfort me too! I thank God everyday for bringing such unique friends into my life.
I went to the obgyn this week.. if I didn't adore the man as a friend I would hate going to this doctor. It seems like every time I go to this type of doctor, I get bad news. Well.. this week was nothing but the norm. I found out that my endometriosis has come back in full force. My hormones are all out of wack!! There is no way to make the pain subside other than take a low dose of the birth control pill or have the lap surgery again. That wasn't fun.. it was awesome after because the pain was gone from the endo but the first 48 hours was not a walk in the park... yet again just another reason that being infertile SUCKS!! I have been talking with my friend about acupuncture. I think I am going to give this a whirl! Who knows.. I have tried just about every other trick in the book.. why not add another.
Well.. at this point IVF is our only solution to the problem. This opens a whole new can of worms in my frustration that I am not willing to ruin my Saturday for! Let's just say..I love FedEx but don't always understand them.. they will help people adopt a child but won't help them have one naturally... seriously???? I am in the process of writing a letter to our VP of HR to try and make some changes.. something has to give! I am not asking for the moon but a few stars would be nice :)
that's enough for now! I am officially off my soap box!
Love,
Carrie
