{IVF meds, friends, support and hubby love}

So here's what I'm on now. (Plus Crinone twice a day) 


Bryce calls that little blue pill my crazy pills. I previously was taking them three times a day and am now down to only two times a day. So frequently, he'll bring me my phone with the alarm going off and he says, "Time for your crazy pills!" Makes me laugh every time. 

I do fairly well on them most of the time. Like the Lupron---most of the time I'm good, but with an occasional emotional episode (lol) or freak out. 

So this last week, looking back, I can totally see I've been more emotional than normal. I read into things too much and over think. So maybe I am a little Crazy on them...

So I'm trying to get myself back in check. :) trying to focus and plan and just be excited! 

We've been so extremely blessed. 

I keep thinking how amazing it is to have zero debt from fertility treatments and hospital stays. I'm so grateful! We still love sharing our story with people we meet about our total MIRACLE we were blessed to have with the auction. Every detail of it fell into place to completely perfectly... We couldn't have asked for more! 

And that one auction has made it possible for us to have these frozen embryos waiting for us each time. And since we had months between each transfer we were able to save enough to pay the Frozen Transfer fees outright.

Anyway, I'm just really grateful. 

I'm also really grateful for good friends. We have so many that have been so supportive and amazing to us. Our friends Mike and Brie live right around the corner and are two amazing people! 

They have this little stud: 
(Yes, I admit I took this pic at church but not during sacrament meeting! It was during Sunday school. :) you can see his grandma standing up front teaching the lesson) 

Gibson. 

I love him so much. He hangs out with me at church a lot. He's getting so big so fast and has the softest skin in the entire world. His cheeks are to die for and he's just such a fun little guy. I'm so grateful our friends share their babies with us! It always warms my heart to be around them!

And this guy: 

He's my absolute favorite. He's all man but has the most tender heart of anyone I know. I'm so grateful that he is the one I get to walk the roads of life with. 

He makes everything better and he's almost the only one that can make me laugh my real laugh. :) 

He's taught me so much about commitment, loving with your whole heart and also loving myself. He's my greatest supporter.

And since we've been called to travel this rough road to parenthood, I couldn't ask for someone better to be right next to me the whole way. :)

I've been so bad at taking pictures during church! Most of the time I don't even realize what I'm doing before it's too late! It's so bad. Hahaha.
Hope you're feeling good and everything's going well!! :)

I Love that you know how blessed you are. It's important to recognize the many tender mercies in our lives. You ward people will miss having you to steal their babies every week!
