Hello! It has been a little over 6 months since my last blog post and I just want to say Lance and I have been living life to the fullest. We have been staying busy with our jobs and various things we have with family and friends.
Since April, we went on a trip to Nashville in May with our family, we celebrated our 7-year anniversary in June, we went camping and fishing a few times in the summer months, we went to Minneapolis to go to Valley Fair and to see the Twins play in August, and in September we celebrated 3 years of Lance being cancer free.
Now that it is October, I am excited about all things Fall and pumpkin. I have made pumpkin bars a handful of times and plan to share the recipe I love here on the blog in the next week. My house has been decorated with pumpkin everything since the first of September and I’m not sad about it one bit.
Journey to Baby Update…
Over the summer, we went on a break from trying medicated cycles and we just lived life for a little bit. Nobody can warn you enough about the impact that those hormones, drugs, and stress of it all will have on your overall quality of life.
We have decided to start trying again with medicated cycles and decide if we need to go to IUI or IVF if it does not work out. What is a medicated cycle, you ask? It means I am on some medications to help me with growing my follicles, help with ovulation, and take hormone supplements to help me get and stay pregnant.
Trying to Stay Positive
Finding the positives throughout all of this and remembering those positives are what keep me going. I have friends and family who are there for me to talk to me, cry with me, and listen to me complain. I have a great, amazing, wonderful husband who is supportive in whatever decision we make together and is always loving on me in every way.
And I have a future baby someday that is going to hear about how much they are loved and have been wanted. That is what keeps me going through it all.
We hope you are doing well wherever you are in the world and continue to keep looking for the positives in whatever life throws your way!
