A few pics from Disney

In order not to obsess over what might be I will just obsess on what is! Here are a couple pictures of my boys! They are so handsome and the light of my life. I love to watch them sleep. I love to hear the conversations they have. I remember laying awake when they were tiny and listening to them "talk" to each other in the mornings. They had to have their 30 minutes of wake up time just playing and talking before I would go in to get them or the day would be thrown off. I so want to experience that falling in love again. It is the greatest wish of my life, but if for some reason God chooses not to bless me again, I know that I am already blessed among women!

Here is J!

Now P! How cute are they with those front teeth missing? Really???

Waiting, waiting, waiting

Thank God for weekends! The waiting is so much easier then. With dh and the boys running here and there, grocery shopping, and of course Dolphins Football we are too busy to even think about if there is a baby cooking in my belly. Then Monday morning comes and it is back to school, making lunches and snacks. I have to make sure that the boys' backpacks are packed and get them dressed for the cold weather that has once again snuck up on us! Hooray! NO time to obsess! And then... the boys are on the bus and I'm home alone. I am trying so hard to keep positive and not really think of this, but it is hard. I can say that I'm 5 days into the 14 day wait so more than 1/3 of the way there! Go me!

Ahh! The fun of the two week wait.

Yesterday we had our first IUI. For a procedure that can ultimately change your life it really is a non-event. DH went in the morning of and delivered his "donation." Then I went in at 1:30. I waited a bit and the receptionist told me to go pick up the specimen. I went to the lab, gave my photo ID & waited. That was really the most complicated part of the procedure. When the "boys" were safely in my posession I went back across the hall to the clinic and a nurse met me and described the procedure. The RE came in, inserted the specimen and did an ultrasound. After that I laid flat for 15 minutes and then was on my way.

So now all there is to do is wait. I can only hope and pray that this will work. If not we are taking next month off and then starting again in January.

Thanks for reading
