Hello everyone! It's been quite crazy the past few months. I'm not quite sure where to start!
We finally completed our birth mom letter. Geez was that a relief. It's not easy at all to talk about yourself in a way that will make someone trust you enough with their child. I feel that the end result was perfect & hopefully it will be the last piece to our puzzle!!!!
I turned our application in to our lawyer here in town that does adoption. So now we just wait and wait and wait!
As for work....the IVF cycle is up and running in full force. Things have been going quite smoothly! I will say I'm very ready to NOT wake up to an alarm. But....that will just have to wait a week or so.
Then there's my dad.....It's been such a hard week! He was put in the hospital since last Tuesday for seizure like symptoms, loss of speech, difficulty moving both arms/legs and severe migraines. He was then transferred to KU Medical Center and placed in the Neuro ICU for close monitoring. All the tests in hutch came back negative, which is so frustrating! The tests from KU are not back yet, we are hopeful that we will have answers today. Please please if you would pray for him to have peace and relieve his pain & also for the doctors to have the knowledge to diagnose & treat him.I'll try and keep up on what we find out & thank you for all the thoughts and prayers this far. My family greatly appreciates it more than you know.

Where Has Time Gone
Hello!!!!
It's been quite awhile since I have updated on our crazy perfect life.
Our first anniversary (August 27)came up quickly. Amazing how 365 days can fly by without realizing. It was quite the day; Derek, his parents & I were scheduled to leave on a cruise to celebrate our Anniversary & Derek's 30th birthday. Well....needless to say Hurricane Isaac had another plan in mind. We found out on our anniversary that the airline had cancelled our flight to New Orleans due to the weather....completely understandable. BUT...the cruise line was adamant that they were still cruising & at that point refused any type of refund/credit. Needless to say Derek & I will NEVER forget our first anniversary & thankfully we have credit to take another cruise!
Work is great! Very busy as I am the interim IVF coordinator for this cycle. I'm sitting in for a wonderful nurse that just had a beautiful baby boy!!! It's certainly a nice change, but man is it crazy! It is supposedly the biggest cycle we've had in 5 years!!!!! I'm really excited for it to get here, though I may regret that statement soon. :D
On the adoption front.....not much news. Derek & I have been working on getting our Dear BirthMother letter completed and tweaking our applications etc. As of right now, we are thinking of turning it (application) in at the end of November. This way I'm through craziness at work and we have a few months of 'budgeting' per my husbands request :)
Now, don't get me wrong, if a situation rises in between now and then, we would certainly move forward without question. We're just not quite ready to dive into an agency quite yet!
So I ask you a favor....please keep Derek and I in your thoughts and prayers. We really are leaning on God to show us the correct path and trusting he will light the way to starting our family.
Again if you know of ANY situation of a child needing or a friend that's pregnant and considering adoption, give them our email or even this blog.
We greatly appreciate all of the support throughout this process and hope and pray even more will come as our journey unfolds.
XOXO
