This took a little time to write this next post. Sorry to all who are following along. I’m sitting here this windy Saturday morning after some interesting storms last night thinking about what to write besides the usual update. So far I’ve felt pretty good with medicines. I haven’t had to take quite as many this next step and also had only two appointments for checks. Even though the physical things seem easier I’m definitely feeling more anxious as the time gets closer and letting my mind wonder to the what ifs both good or bad. In a sense its feeling more real, this journey we’re on even though it’s less things to do, go to, and remember. I ask for prayers through that. Talking with my friends has already helped clear my mind some. Blaine has done good helping me take these next injections as they are in the upper buttocks and I’m not too flexible to reach around. I’ve just started the second medicine today and will continue with both the estrogen and progesterone up until a pregnancy test and some after from what I understand. We are scheduled for our transfer day on March 9th. I won’t know the time until two days prior. We will find out a few weeks after that if it worked. That’ll become the hard yet hopefully joyous part. We will of course want to shout it to the world if successful but also will want to make sure everything is okay for a while first. With that being said it may take us sometime before telling too many but yet it’ll be so hard to hold back also. The flip side of that is it may be unsuccessful. That also will be hard not to announce or tell people as we have so many praying for us. We will be able to start the process again if we choose or take some time also before trying again. As with life, it is an emotional roller coaster sometimes. We appreciate all who is following along with us and praying! Remembering through all this HIs will be done!
I’m going to try while we wait for results and announcements, successful or non successful, to keep posting. It just will be more so on fostering, and adoption, and maybe some terminology about all the topics. I’m asked quite frequently the what, how, why, who, questions and love answering them the best I can. I’m by no means an expert and learning also as I go. Please reach out if you have any questions on anything or topics you’d like to know more about. I’m not shy to answer. This blog is about becoming more knowledgeable, myself included. If we don’t know something we can’t change it or embrace it. As we come to the time of year for our annual foster reevaluation I think about all the things I’d like to change or do regarding foster care. These kids need us and yes there are broken parts of the system, but we can help change that and make a difference. Talking about these things helps that change. I encourage you until my next post to reach out to me or others in your lives and talk to each other. Ask those questions, discuss those answers, and reach out to one another. I’m praying for you all, as I know you are doing the same for me! Until next time…Thanks again for following along!
