Hey chicks! Just checking in to say HEY HEY and I hope everyone is well!
Fluter, I can't wait to see your pretty belly grow big with that little one you've waited so long for.
I don't really focus much on babies anymore since me and the hubs decided our plan but I am hoping to maybe come back and write a tad more often in the coming months.
I am going to be doing a mini-ivf cycle around Nov or Dec if God is willing. We will have the money by then. Also, I just found out yesterday that my hubby's job will give us 10,000$ for adoption so we are going to be starting a home-study soon but we will not be adopting internationally (so we won't need the 10 grand since state adoptions are mainly free), we will be adopting from a state facility, probably an older child and one with one or two small disabilities since we will be financially secure and my hubby has the insurance to make a child's life so much better. Either way, we will be having us a baby within the next year, even if it's a bigger baby that a newborn. We are going to be looking at children up to 12 years old. I AM SO EXCITED! We are finally going to be financially secure and we get to give back some of our blessings and I am so glad! I am going to be calling about starting the process today since we just made a firm decision this morning. Even if my ivf doesn't work I will still get to bless my life with more children through adoption. We will try again for a 'body' baby after we finish the adoption process, but will only try one cycle this year, then skip a year, and then try once more. After that we might try an international adoption but I probably will keep it in the U.S. for personal reasons.
I will be going with New Hope Fertility Center for my mini ivf for the time being.
Also my hubby's ex has found herself a new man after 4 years and I am just so glad to leave bitterness and anger behind me and wish the best for everyone.
Babies are a great joy but there is great joy just in living and the journey to have more kids made it a horrible experience for me and made my life one big trial. I used to say there was no way that I could not focus on kids, on having more children, but with being able to adopt I know that I will be content and deeply so with any child's joy filling my daily life. I don't have to have a newborn. I don't have to be pregnant. I can raise anyone's child as my own cause my love does not reside in my own blood, it resides in any heart that lays close to mine. I GET TO ADOPT! YAYAY YAYA YAY! We are going to be parents to a big baby! I have never been so excited! It takes about a year to complete the full process so I gotta get started. I get to spend the next little bit dreaming of the heart that gets to join our house. I can't wait to see what God has in store for us and for our 'baby' to be!
Oh....and I hope everyone is well! I will check back in a few weeks. I am gonna start buying some vitamins to ready myself for the ivf and give myself a better shot but what will be will be. I am gonna build our family regardless!
WOOT WOOT!
Also, I did read everyone's post but I am being selfish in my excitement. Please know that I am thinking of you all today.

today.....It's my "due date" *sigh....I know I whine alot, & I'm sorry for that, but I have dreaded this day for months. I am not a screaming, crying "hot mess," but church was hard today......Hoping it gets easier in time. I know nothing will replace the LO we lost, but guess I just got to get past it & work toward our goal. Now if dh felt better & we could get past his stupid gall bladder, maybe things would progress. lol How am I dealing with my feelings today, you ask? Lots of prayer & preparing a big supper today complete with homemade apple pie....I'm sure I'll regret it tomorrow, but today I am wallowing in self pity
