Hiya!

Long time, no post, but here's the deal -- (1) I've decided to stop posting the specificity of our journey...as we do want our pregnancy to be a fun surprise for family and friends!  And, (2) it's been hard for me to deal with the reality of IUI.  I never realized that would be a struggle for me until it became our only option.  When I found out, I cried.  I was a wee bit devastated for a minute.  I never expected to feel that way.  Henry honestly thought I’d be thrilled as IUI will actually increase our chances.  But, I’ll be honest, I felt a little cheated.  It was hard for me to accept that we will not be making out baby in the privacy of our own bedroom.  Our future baby will be made in a doctor’s office with modern medicine, a catheter, and an ultrasound machine.  Not the romantic picture I had in mind.  Not only that, but I can't even take my own pregnancy test.  The doc will have to take a blood test and let me know.  Weird, right?

But, after having dinner with M and J on Friday, venting to my amazing small group girls, and indulging in a bubble bath while allowing myself a few tears, I've been feeling much more hopeful and excited. 

Actually, I found myself looking at cute onesies…like this one…

...but then again...shopping...or at least window shopping always cheers me a bit!  I'm looking forward to posting more of the fun little things I find and learn as we keep on keepin' on.  Love you guys! :)
