New look to my new blog, even though I actually deleted my old posts. They were pretty depressing, and that bummed me out. Even though I was, and unfortunately still am, going through some things, I don't want people to read my blog and feel crappy afterwards.
The last time I had updated my blog was almost a year ago, so things have changed. Unfortunately our battles with infertility have not, but we are taking steps forward now. My husband and I did take time off after we had a miscarriage with one of our medicated cycles, and it's almost been a year since that has happened. Honestly, it was the best feeling. We reconnected, went out and lived our lives! It was amazing how much our marriage became refreshed, like when we were dating. We started going on dates again, laughing so hard together that it hurt to smile. You never realize how much you miss things until you experience them again. The first time I saw a ground hog "in the wild" made us cry we were laughing so hard. It feels so good to be us again. To be fair, the ground hog was in the parking lot of a Save-a-lot that we were driving by after getting some pizza. Feel free to laugh at me now. :)
A year ago everything was so different. I had a hard time doing anything without somehow becoming sad or upset. Everything seemed to set me off. It was a hard time, and I am glad that it seems (for the most part) to be over. We got a new infertility doctor who is more proactive about getting us pregnant, and wanting to figure out how I can carry to full-term. We have an appointment with him on March 5th to really go over our options after all the testing we completed, so hopefully we should have a plan of action soon.
Other big news, we started the process of becoming foster parents. We actually started this back in September, and we are hoping (although the process has been painfully slow) to at least get our license to be foster parents soon. This is a tricky area right now, and a lot of people have opinions (good and bad) as well as questions. I will go more into detail about fostering, the process, and our reasons for doing it in another post. I will even answer any questions you have about fostering as well.
Nothing else is really new. We are looking to buy a house soon, which is scary and exciting. It feels weird really becoming a grown-up, thinking about getting a mortgage. Craziness! 2013 is a new year, and I hope it means new awesome changes are coming.
